Get to know Mamaroneck

Far easier to love than it is to pronounce, Mamaroneck—emphasis on the second “a”—is a sizable village in the Sound Shore town of the same name, known for its glistening yacht harbor, charming residential neighborhoods, and exciting transit-friendly downtown. It’s barely over a half hour’s ride from Grand Central on Metro-North’s New Haven Line, making it possible to unlock a laid-back coastal lifestyle mere minutes from Manhattan. You’ll find a variety of housing options here, from classic single-families to a slew of sleek new apartments along the avenue. Mamaroneck’s extensive water frontage culminates on Orienta peninsula, where you’ll find its storied beach club and the grand waterfront estates of gated Edgewater Point, developed on the former estate of oil tycoon and Florida forefather Henry Morrison Flagler. Food fanatics relish Walter’s, the world-famous roadside hot dog stand going strong in its Palmer Ave. pagoda for more than a century.

Living in Westchester

Don’t call it upstate. This cosmopolitan county north of New York City is a collective of towns, hamlets and mid-sized cities that put virtually every lifestyle imaginable within an hour’s commute of Manhattan. It’s due north of the Bronx, next door to Connecticut, and the gateway to the Hudson Valley. Metro-North’s Harlem, Hudson and New Haven lines make for speedy service into Grand Central — an express ride from many down-county communities runs comparable to the F train from South Brooklyn, with a much sunnier view. Lower Westchester’s villages prioritize convenience, while the verdant horse country to the north is a favored destination for those looking to fade away in privacy. The Hudson and Long Island Sound form its two coasts, conspiring with an inland chain of lakes and reservoirs for unbeatable boating, fishing and other recreational endeavors. Chain stores are noticeably absent from many Main Streets, which run chockablock with character-filled indie shops.
