Rochelle Heights
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.New Rochelle City School District has highly rated schools
The New Rochelle City School District serves the neighborhood, receiving high ratings on Niche. Students here attend William B. Ward Elementary School and Albert Leonard Middle School, both scoring A-minus rankings. Boasting a B-plus, New Rochelle High School offers a variety of after-school activities and athletic programs, such as the rugby and tennis teams, where students can learn vital skills about camaraderie and sportsmanship.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.Locally owned restaurants on North Avenue, chain stores nearby
Despite its tranquil ambiance, the neighborhood is a quick drive to convenient shopping hubs. On the neighborhood’s edge along North Avenue, The Mirage Restaurant & Cafe is a local favorite for brunch, while Smokehouse Tailgate Grill is the go-to spot for happy hours after work. On the weekends, locals can fuel up at Starbucks before checking off their grocery list at Shop & Stop, just a mile away. For a selection of exquisite wines, Wine Bazaar is just next door off Palmer Avenue, along with Marshalls and HomeGoods for everyday necessities.Walking to Iona University, catching the train or taking the bus
Although the city hosts annual events throughout the year, the New Rochelle Street Fair is within walking distance of the neighborhood along North Avenue. Every fall, locals can enjoy a beer while listening to live music and chatting with neighbors before returning home. Rochelle Heights is also home to Iona University, a private Roman Catholic school, where students and residents can quickly get around town due to the New Rochelle and Larchmont train stops along the Metro-North Railroad. North Avenue is also scattered with bus stops, while Interstate 95 borders the neighborhood, creating seamless connectivity for commuters and locals alike.
