Westchester County, New York
White Plains, NY Real Estate & Homes for Sale
Westchester's county seat and our home base: a walkable downtown, a fast Metro-North commute to Manhattan and neighborhoods that range from high-rise condos to classic Colonials on wooded lots.
Living in White Plains
A city with suburban neighborhoods
White Plains is the seat of Westchester County and one of its main business and retail hubs. Downtown is home to courthouses, corporate offices, department stores and a dense mix of restaurants, while most of the city's land is residential, tree-lined streets of single-family homes that feel distinctly suburban.
That combination is what draws buyers here. You can live in a luxury high-rise steps from the train, a co-op or condo with lower carrying costs, a two-family near Battle Hill, or a stately Tudor in Gedney Farms or the Highlands, all within one city and one school district.
Our team's office is on Westchester Avenue, so White Plains is the market we know best. We track every sale, we know which blocks command a premium, and we can tell you what a home will realistically sell for, not what an online estimate guesses.
