About Rye (Town)
The Town of Rye occupies Westchester's southeastern corner on the Connecticut border, about 25 miles from Manhattan. Its two villages are very different: Port Chester is a dense, walkable village with a celebrated restaurant row and the landmark Capitol Theatre, while Rye Brook is a quieter, primarily residential suburb known for the Blind Brook schools. A slice of the Village of Mamaroneck also falls within the town. Housing ranges from Port Chester's condos, co-ops, and multi-families to Rye Brook's colonials, ranches, and newer subdivisions, with estates scattered throughout. Price: Port Chester median sale price $754,501 (EffectiveAgents, August 2026); Rye Brook median sale price $1,319,500 (Realty.com, county records, August 2026); no town-wide median was separately verified.
