Lewisboro is known for its scenery and highly rated schools
On the border between New York and Connecticut is Lewisboro, a town swathed in nature and greenery 57 miles from New York City. The community is known for its preserved land and highly rated school system. “Lewisboro attracts people looking for the perfect balance between peaceful small town living and proximity to the city,” says Doug Tricarico, an associate real estate broker with Houlihan Lawrence. Tricarico has worked in the industry for 20 years. “Known for its natural beauty and protected open space, people come here for the excellent school system, sense of community and slower pace of life without being too far from the action.” Lewisboro has several hamlets within it, including South Salem and Waccabuc.
Lewisboro was founded in 1731 and has a population of over 12,000 people.
The median sale price in Lewisboro for single-family homes is around $930,000.

Walking trails at Lewisboro Town Park and Onatru Preserve
The Lewisboro Town Park is encircled by a trail system and has a playground, hard-top basketball and tennis courts and a baseball field. Nearby, the Lewisboro Town Pool offers memberships, swim lessons and pool rentals. The Onatru Farm Town Park is made up of several fields for baseball and soccer, with over a mile of hiking trails within the Onatru Preserve. The Waccabuc Country Club, in the hamlet of Waccabuc, is a private 18-hole course established in 1912. The club has a tennis court and an event space.
Nature reserves throughout Lewisboro include Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, which spans over 4,300 acres and offers hiking trails, campsites and a trailside nature museum that educates park visitors. The reserve also has a butterfly meadow and a wildflower garden. The Wolf Conservation Center in the hamlet of South Salem aims to protect wolves and teach visitors about their importance in nature. The center houses several wolves, including Mexican gray wolves, red wolves and three permanent residents called "ambassadors." The charity participates in the Species Survival Plan, which supports the reintroduction of endangered species into the wild.

Single-family homes and townhouses in forested areas
Homes sit amid dense oak, maple and ash trees along winding roadways. Some houses border lakes, have private docks, or are near a golf course. “Most homes are on well and septic unless closer to other communities, they are probably on oil heating as well,” says Tricarico. Some residences are over 100 years old, while others were built a few years ago. Colonial Revival and farmhouse styles are common. Single-family homes have a median sale price of $932,500, while townhouses have a median sale price of $650,000. “Lewisboro is more rural and spread out. If you’re looking for nightlife, this is not for you,” says Tricarico. “Some parts of the town are near wetlands and such, which can come with extra regulations, but that keeps the town beautiful.”
Newer contemporary homes make up a significant portion of the Lewisboro housing stock.
Townhomes are also available in Lewisboro, offering modern living in a convenient location.
