Introducing Scarsdale, NY 10583 - A Pictorial Overview

Scarsdale, NY 10583 had the distinction of earning the number two spot on CNNMoney.com’s top-earning towns survey in 2007 with a median household income of close to $220,000. Living in Scarsdale certainly doesn’t come as cheaply as does in some other municipalities in Westchester However, one certainly doesn’t need over $200k in household income to afford one of the wonderful coops on Garth Rd. A one bedroom coop in Scarsdale can set you back about $200,000 depending on size, condition and complex. My blog on the pet-friendly coop Colchester Hall on Garth Road gives a good overview about the entry level cost of living in Scarsdale.

The coops on Garth road offer peace and quiet with an easy walk to the Scarsdale Station making for a very easy commute to Grand Central Station. From Scarsdale it’s about a 30 minute trip into Manhattan. No need to park the car. No muss, no fuss. The perfect commute. That is one of the primary reasons that Scarsdale in general and Garth Rd in particular is such a popular choice for first time home buyers.

Walking through the village I always get the feeling that if we got rid of the cars we could imagine ourselves back in an English Village in the time of Dickens. Tudor buildings are the order of the day, and if you enjoy that kind of architecture, you are sure to feel right at home in the Village and on Garth Road.

There are several popular spots for fine dining including Sakura. I’ve enjoyed several fine meals there. Their sushi is marvelous as is their tempura. Kirari on Garth Rd also has wonderful Sushi. Moscato Ristorante is another favorite place for fine Mediterranean cuisine on Scarsdale Ave. For major night life, White Plains is just a few minutes away by car where you have everything in the way of shopping and dining at your disposal. It’s less than a 15 minute drive from the Village to the White Plains City Center and the primary malls such as the Westchester and Fortunoff.
