Quaint village core and developed suburbia on the Long Island Sound
On paper, Mamaroneck is a village divided, both by the municipal boundaries of the towns of Mamaroneck and Rye and by the snaking path of the Mamaroneck River. In reality, it’s hard to imagine a community richer with connection, both to the natural beauty of Westchester County’s waterways and to the wealth of suburban amenities that have amassed over more than a century. “Mamaroneck is by the waterfront, which is fantastic. By the sound, there’s lots of beaches and lots of parks – at Harbor Island Park, you can see the water from the soccer fields. Many people can walk to the beaches, the train station or anywhere else they want to go. It’s ultra easy to get around,” says Mary Stetson, the owner of Stetson Real Estate who has more than 25 years of experience serving the sound shore. Neighbors may send kids to different highly rated school districts, live in different styles of homes and hold memberships to boating clubs on opposite sides of Mamaroneck Harbor. But throughout Mamaroneck, community spaces, commuter hubs and quaint commercial strips are all close at hand, just blocks from the boats bobbing in rows of marinas and backyard docks.

Co-ops, estates and simple prewar single-family homes in Mamaroneck
There are waterfront estates in Mamaroneck with aesthetics and multimillion-dollar price points that rival the sound side homes on Long Island’s former Gold Coast. The village’s housing stock is seriously varied, offering co-op units starting in the $100,000s and plenty of more standard single-family homes built from the prewar era through the midcentury. As a rule, streets closer to the Long Island Sound tend toward larger, more loosely plotted and tree-secluded lots, while the sidewalk-lined blocks closer to the Metro-North's tracks are full of simpler, more closely packed homes. Mamaroneck’s median single-family home price is over $1.2 million, more than triple the national median.

A-plus-rated public and private schools in Mamaroneck

Commuting to NYC on I-95 and the New Haven line
Both Interstate 95 and the Metro-North's New Haven line pass through the village. Commuters have a nearly 30-mile drive to Manhattan, or a roughly 40-minute train ride from Mamaroneck Station to Grand Central Terminal. Bee-Line buses make stops in the village on their way throughout Westchester County. Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital is about 6 miles away and Westchester County Airport is around 11 miles away.
Public and private recreation on the Long Island Sound’s harbors
Mamaroneck is a boating community, made obvious by the bobbing docks of marinas and private residences that anchor motorboats, sailboats and kayaks within harbors of the Long Island Sound. A few private clubs on either side of Mamaroneck Harbor maintain marinas, alongside other amenities like beaches, pools, tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course. Between the east and west basins of Mamaroneck Harbor, Harbor Island Park is the literal and figurative center of the village, a peninsula packed with athletic fields and playground equipment, sandy beaches and boat ramps that fall within eyeshot of the water.

Shopping and dining on Mamaroneck Avenue
Mamaroneck Avenue winds inland from Harbor Island Park, lined with the parking spaces, bike racks and crosswalks that support the village’s tree-shaded central commercial district. Big box stores and gas stations collect along U.S. Route 1, especially closer to Larchmont. Houses of worship of diverse denominations hold services throughout the village, though churches are more common than synagogues and Hindu and Buddhist temples.

Community events at Harbor Island Park and village theatres
Outside of youth league games and family beach days, Harbor Island Park is the venue for many of the village’s most anticipated annual traditions. “People meet there for sailing lessons, summer camps, we have concerts in the park and a Tiki Invasion beach party. There are camping sleepover nights in the fall, where all the families come together,” Stetson says. Throughout the year, tickets at the village’s historic Mamaroneck Cinemas are only $5 every Wednesday, and the Emelin Theatre holds regular concerts and theatrical performances.

Crime data, weather patterns and flood risk in Mamaroneck
According to the Village of Mamaroneck Police Department’s Uniform Crime Report, Part I offenses decreased by more than 20% while Part II offenses increased by about 11% between 2022 and 2023. Part I offenses are defined as violent crimes and Part II offenses are defined as less violent crimes.
Mamaroneck experiences all four seasons, including hot summers and below-freezing winters.
The sound is an obvious flood zone, but Stetson notes that homes built near that waterfront tend to be fairly resilient to tidal flooding. The Mamaroneck and Sheldrake rivers are of higher concern after heavy rain, and buyers should look at maps to assess risk and the need for flood insurance. The Army Corps of Engineers is working to widen the channels to better manage storm surge.
