Westchester County, while still considered part of the New York Metropolitan Area, is an oasis of serene living just north of city. Southern Westchester is more urban, while the northern section of the county is more rural. This unique position provides many options for those searching for a home in the Westchester County luxury home market. Options range from the more modern colonial homes on Long Island Sound, to the gracious elegance of Scarsdale and White Plains, all the way to the northernmost section of the county where truly grand and exquisite estates reign over the landscape in communities such as Bedford and North Salem. Westchester luxury homes offer a variety that will satisfy the tastes of anyone, be it for a primary residence or country retreat.
