Things to Know Before You Move
1. Westchester Is Diverse—Choose the Right Town
From the upscale vibes of Scarsdale and Rye to the artsy feel of Hastings-on-Hudson or the urban energy of White Plains, each town has a unique personality.
Popular areas include:
Scarsdale – Luxury living and elite schools
White Plains – Urban/suburban mix with a walkable downtown
Rye – Coastal charm and top-tier amenities
Tarrytown – Historic, scenic, and full of character
Pelham, Armonk, Pleasantville – Great for families and community feel
Tip: Visit neighborhoods at different times of day to get a real feel.
2. The Commute to NYC Is (Surprisingly) Easy
With the Metro-North Railroad, most Westchester towns are 30–60 minutes from Grand Central. If you work in Manhattan, living here gives you the space you crave without sacrificing convenience.
3. Be Prepared for Housing Competition
Westchester real estate can be competitive, especially in towns with top school districts. Working with a local realtor helps, but once you secure your place, don’t wait to book movers—early planning is key.
4. Weather Can Impact Your Move
Westchester winters can be icy and snowy. If you’re moving between November and March, make sure your moving company is experienced in cold-weather logistics (we are!).
5. Parking & Access Rules Vary
Some towns require moving permits, or have specific parking rules for trucks. If you’re moving into a co-op or condo, your building may also require a Certificate of Insurance (COI).
