Hilly Westchester suburbia around a train-centric village
While mountain is a bit of a stretch, a forested hill does indeed sit just outside Mount Kisco, an enduring landmark that eventually gave the combination village and town its name. Train tracks built up industry in the two towns that would become the modern village through the mid-19th and early 20th centuries, and that same mode of transit still centers the Westchester County community today, carrying passengers rather than cargo. Mount Kisco’s connections to the Metro-North Harlem Line and Saw Mill River Parkway have helped it transition easily into a New York City commuter suburb. Still, this far-removed from the Big Apple and closer locales like White Plains, Mount Kisco supports a significantly quieter suburban lifestyle, centered around its own quaint village center, well-regarded public schools and expansive green spaces.

Mount Kisco’s walkable central blocks and forested subdivisions
Sidewalk-lined streets sprout from the center of Mount Kisco, building up residential blocks dominated by rows of simple prewar homes, newer midcentury construction and larger complexes of apartments or co-op units. Subdivisions and back roads on the outskirts of the village house larger, often newer homes with more space between neighbors. More distance from Main Street also tends to bring about more shady trees, until lots become fairly forested. Mount Kisco’s median single-family home price is $925,000, more than double the national median.
Mutli-family units are also available throughout Mt Kisco, NY.

Using the Saw Mill River Parkway and Harlem Line to travel to NYC
Commuters have a more than 40-mile drive to Manhattan starting on the Saw Mill River Parkway, or an hour ride to Grand Central Terminal from the Mount Kisco Metro-North Station. Bee-Line buses make stops throughout Westchester County and to hotspots like Northern Westchester Hospital within the village. Westchester County Airport is about 12 miles from home.
Shopping and dining on Main Street and Moger Avenue
Recognizable national retailers and boutique bistros and specialty stores collect along Main Street and Moger Avenue. “In the downtown area, sort of parallel to the train station, you’re not going to find chains. You get the kinds of restaurants I call ‘boho chic.’ It’s all walkable,” says Kenneth Rabasco, a Realtor at Keller Williams Realty Group with 11 years of experience specializing in Westchester County. Big-box stores stand behind parking lots farther from the village center on both Main Streeet and Bedford Road. Many churches of different denominations hold services throughout Mount Kisco, as do a couple of synagogues.

Hiking trails and athletic fields around Mount Kisco
Nature preserves of many sizes and types fill the forests surrounding Mount Kisco. “North of White Plains, it’s all green. There’re more trees than people,” Rabasco jokes. “A lot of trails run up in that area.” Hikers can explore forests and wetlands at Marsh Sanctuary or head farther away to the Kitchawan Preserve for views of the New Croton Reservoir. More structured green spaces within the village include the athletic fields and pondside walking trails at Leonard Park and the 18-hole golf course at the private Mount Kisco Country Club.
