Rochelle Heights was designed to be a lush, close-knit community
Dotted with peaceful ponds, tree-lined avenues and a range of homes dating back to the early 1900s to the 1950s, Rochelle Heights was purposely planned as a quiet, green oasis on the city’s edge over 100 years ago. “The neighborhood was one of the first planned developments, where the goal was to create a closed, verdant community filled with greenery, hilly terrain and winding streets. One street is rightly named Serpentine. Even to this day, you can still get lost along the streets,” says Owen Berkowitz, broker with Christie’s International Real Estate New York, who has been a Westchester resident since the early 1990s. Located about 26 miles north of New York City, the neighborhood draws residents seeking peace and serenity in an ever-changing, hectic world.
Fixer-uppers in the $600,000s to luxury homes for about $2 million
Walking along the sidewalks, shadowed by tall maples, a range of architectural styles line the streets. Quintessential Colonial Revivals make up most of the landscape, displaying tidy front yards and welcoming porches, some with details reminiscent of Queen Annes and Victorians. Various Tudors with exposed woodwork, split-levels and the occasional Spanish Revival also greet visitors. “Most of the homes are set back from the street with large lawns and beautiful walkways and steps leading to the entrance. It was purposely planned so the neighborhood would never feel crowded,” Berkowitz says. Prospective homebuyers can expect a wide range of prices, including smaller homes listed from $600,000s to the upper $800,000s, while houses on lots close to half an acre range from $1 million to almost $2 million. Here, buyers can score a fixer-upper for under $600,000, a three-bed colonial with an attached two-car garage for $700,000 or an elegant Mediterranean home with a heated saltwater pool for $1.8 million.

Joggers, skateboarders and kids have plenty of parks to explore
It’s common to see morning joggers and evening walkers strolling around the paved paths at Paine and Beechmont Lake or reading a book on the bench. Rochelle Heights is also home to Flowers Park, spanning over 20 acres. The park has three ball fields and a playground where children run around after school. Meandering through the area shouts from Sidney E. Frank Skate Park fill the air, where skateboarders practice their kickflips till they reach perfection and loved ones celebrate under the pavilion. Flowers Park is also home to Monroe College’s Joseph F. Fosina football field and Skidelsky Field for soccer games. “Some of the best taco food trucks hang out around the park,” Berkowitz says. Fitness buffs who prefer an indoor gym can head to CrossFit Result across the street from the park along Plain Avenue. The community is also home to the New Rochelle Tennis Club and Rochelle Heights Racquet Club, boasting two historic clay courts.
