Community Profiles
Scarsdale A quiet village of spacious Tudor and Colonial style houses mixed with post-war modern and contemporary homes, Scarsdale is a community of about 19,000. Made up almost entirely of single-family houses, it occupies 6.4 square miles and is located 24 miles north of mid-town Manhattan. It is a 33-minute commute into the city on the Metro North train, and is easily accessible to the Hutchinson and Bronx River Parkways. The Scarsdale Union Free School District, regarded as one of the nation's best, includes five elementary schools, a junior high school, and the Scarsdale High School, recently cited by the Federal Office of Education as one of the nation's exemplary schools. Over 96 percent of its graduates go on to college. The village is served by its own police and fire departments and has two main shopping areas: the business district near the train station, and "The Five Corners" intersection further east. Branches of major department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Lord & Taylor, and Nordstrom's can be found in the nearby communities of Eastchester and White Plains, the location of the new Westchester Mall with over 300 upscale stores.
Edgemont A section of the town of Greenburgh, Edgemont shares a Scarsdale Post Office, except for a small section that has a Hartsdale address. Most of Edgemont's 8,000-plus population enjoys the rolling landscape and large Tudor and Colonial homes of the community, and there is also an abundance of co-ops and condominiums on Central Park Avenue. Occupying 2.76 square miles between the Sprain Brook Parkway to the west and the Bronx River Parkway to the east, Edgemont is 25 miles from midtown Manhattan. Metro North commuters share the Scarsdale and Hartsdale stations and the 33-minute trip to New York City. One of Edgemont's main attractions is its excellent school system. In fact, the neighborhoods are defined by the boundaries of the Edgemont elementary schools-- Seely Place and Greenville. The Edgemont Junior/Senior High School, which includes nine buildings on a landscaped campus, enjoys a superb reputation with over 90 percent of its students going on to higher education. The Greenburgh Nature Center and the town-owned Preserve offer hiking trails, a pond, orchard, zoo and greenhouse. The sports facilities include 18 lit tennis courts and a fine pool complex. The Greenburgh Recreational Department runs a summer day camp as well as a wide range of intramural activities that are available to Edgemont residents.
