Living in Rye

Sound Shore living at its best

The City of Rye has one of the most desirable settings in Westchester: Long Island Sound on one side, a walkable downtown in the middle and quiet residential streets throughout. Rye Playland, Rye Town Park and Oakland Beach, the Rye Nature Center and several marinas and clubs are all close at hand.

Homes range from classic Colonials near downtown to waterfront and water-view properties on Milton Point and along the shore. Inventory is limited and demand is consistently strong.

Rye borders Harrison and Rye Brook and is a short drive from our White Plains office. We help buyers weigh Rye against nearby Greenwich, Harrison and Mamaroneck on price, taxes and flood-zone considerations.
