About Scarsdale
Scarsdale is the archetypal luxury New York suburb — a village (coterminous with the town of Scarsdale) about 25 miles north of Manhattan, famous for its consistently Tudor-style village center and leafy streets of colonials, Tudors and estates. Housing ranges from pre-war co-ops near the village center to multi-million-dollar single-family homes in neighborhoods like Fox Meadow, Heathcote, and Greenacres. It is one of the most liquid luxury markets in Westchester.
