About Somers
Somers is a town in northern Westchester County bordering Putnam County, made up of the hamlets of Amawalk, Baldwin Place, Granite Springs, Lincolndale, Lake Purdys, and Shenorock. Once a weekend-retreat and summer-cottage destination (many former bungalows were winterized into year-round homes), it became a year-round commuter town after Interstate 684's completion in the 1970s. Housing is primarily single-family and semi-attached, including popular lake communities (Lake Lincolndale, Lake Purdys, Lake Shenorock) and Heritage Hills, one of the region's largest 55+ communities with about 2,600 homes. IBM's Somers campus (I.M. Pei-designed) and PepsiCo offices sit at the town's fringes (randrealty.com; realestatehudsonvalleyny.com). Housing prices: median sale price $660,000 (Homes.com "Somers, NY" page, read 2026-09-24).
