Elmsford is a small village with neighborly charm
Elmsford is a village in the town of Greenburgh, New York. It’s a small neighborhood, centered around West Main Street and tucked into an area of 1.1 square miles. “The residential streets in Elmsford are tree-lined. Homes are well kept with green lawns and trimmed shrubbery,” says Lauren Zaccaria a Realtor with Houlihan Lawrence Inc. "There aren’t many sidewalks, but the streets are quiet, and bike riders and dog-walkers share the roads." Neighbors in this community tend to look out for one another. During the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, when residents had no power, village workers delivered firewood to homes, and police officers regularly checked in on the elderly.

From trails to ice skating, parks connect residents to the outdoors
“The town of Greenburgh has an extraordinary parks and recreation department that connects the entire community to the outdoors,” Zaccaria says. "There are lots of big and little parks that provide swimming pools, sports fields and other activities." Deluca Park has large open spaces, a basketball court, a playground and picnic tables. Massaro Park, in the heart of Elmsford, has a baseball field, basketball and tennis courts, a swimming pool and picnic area. Just 3 miles away is Tarrytown Lakes Park.
