I know someone at work who lives in Pelham, which is pretty close to NYC and has its own MetroNorth stop.

We had friends who were looking for a place in Bronxville, it's really nice and has a Metro-North stop.

Bonxville is beautiful, but very expensive, unfortunately most of the really nice areas on the Metro North are pretty expensive.

Re: Nice areas in Westchester close to NYC?

Bronxville is gorgeous but it is really small if you want a house in the actual school district. Otherwise you will be in Bronxville P.O. where the houses are gorgeous and not cheap, but it puts you in the Yonkers school district. Taxes are lower in the P.O. SIL lives there and is either going to do private school or move when the kids are of age.

We used to live in Larchmont which is really nice. Scarsdale is nice too but I don't know if they have their own metronorth.

Irvington is also really nice. DH and I want to either live there or New Paltz.

Bronxville is rather small as far as the town goes, but there are co-ops for sale within it if school districts are a concern for you.

Scarsdale

Rye is definitely nice

Tuckahoe's pretty cute around the train station.

Some parts of Harrison are nice.

Some parts of White Plains are nice (not so much by the train station, unless you're living RIGHT next to it).
