There are coastal properties, riverfront land, modern condos in the cities, old tenements on the docks, horse farms and ranches, along with mansions and estates overlooking the Potomac.

Westchester county homes

And it is ranked the second wealthiest county in New York State and twelfth wealthiest county in the U.S. Westchester County boasts a beautiful landscape, with lush green rolling hills, tree lined streets with very large homes, estates, some mansions, modern farms and ranches. Thus http://www.westchester-ny-real-estate.com is rather pricey. It is surprising how quickly you are in a mostly rural area when you are so close to New York City

The county has nineteen towns. Any of the land areas in Westchester County that is not contained in one of its cities is a town. A town may contain zero, one or multiple villages. With the exception of the towns of Rye, Pelham, Harrison, Mount Kisco, and Scarsdale, all the towns contain area and residents which do not belong to any village. Sometimes these areas contain communities referred to as hamlets, or unincorporated areas. The Hamlets have no legal status and all of them depend upon the town for all municipal government and services.

It is improtant to indicate whether one is referring to the city, town, village, or hamlet, because some municipalities have the same name. For example, the town of Rye is completely separate from the city of Rye. Pelham is the name of a town and also of a village in the town. The village of Mamaroneck is partially in Mamaroneck and in the town of Rye, but has nothing to do with the city of Rye.
