Quick commutes and Bonnie Crest, home of American painter and quick commutes

Bonnie Crest, a suburban neighborhood in New Rochelle, is 27 miles from New York City and is known for its grand and diverse architecture. While the large homes and expansive lawns are the main allure, proximity to the highway, parks and schools is another draw to the area, says Scott Cohen, a resident of New Rochelle and broker with Howard Hanna Rand Realty. The need for quiet, green spaces near transportation has drawn many to this affluent neighborhood, including an iconic American painter. “Norman Rockwell lived on Lord Kitchener Road in Bonnie Crest, where his studio was attached to his home,” says Cohen. The quiet community’s walkable amenities, unique homes and spacious setting make Bonnie Crest ideal for those looking to escape the city without sacrificing convenience.

Upgraded revival-style homes in Bonnie Crest

“The Bonnie Crest neighborhood of New Rochelle is desirable for many, many reasons,” says Cohen. “The first and foremost is the abundance of magnificent architecture from the 1920s, 30s and 40s. There are many magnificent Center Hall Colonials and Tudor-style homes. Many of them are updated with today’s technology and comfort." These range from $1.5 million to $1.75 million. Other styles include ranch-style homes built in the 1950s and 60s ranging from $860,000 to $955,000. Homes are large with sweeping lots and up to six bedrooms. Most yards are surrounded by maple and oak trees, with long driveways leading to wide roads.
