History, diversity and growth are interwoven into West End. The vibrant New York community also boasts proximity to Downtown New Rochelle, a major draw for its residents. “People move to West End for convenience,” says Realtor Eddy Idiaquez of Howard Hanna Rand Realty. "They are close to downtown and the beaches while being part of a family-oriented community with a lot of historical background.”
The history of the area is apparent in its established classic architecture. Homes with Victorian and colonial styles are situated on smaller lots that line the blocks here. “West End is an older area of New Rochelle, but it’s up and coming,” Idiaquez says. “There’s a lot of construction and new buildings sprouting up, and the skyline is changing dramatically.” Newer builds and split levels have contemporary influences, and many multi-family buildings feature updated modern details. The median listing price in West End is $615,000, though homes will range from $325,000 fixer-uppers to stately historic cottages spanning 3,000 square feet for $1.2 million. “The market is very active,” Idiaquez adds. “People are still buying homes even with high interest rates.”
The slew of ethnic restaurants showcases West End’s diversity. “The dining options are multi-national, from Indian to South Central,” Idiaquez says. Tantalizing spices ignite taste buds in bold Indian dishes at Coromandel, Peruvian heritage is put on display at Sabrosura Peruana, El Nuevo Café Veracruz serves authentic Mexican plates, and traditional chicken and waffles shine on the soul food-filled menu at Sweet Potatoes Restaurant. Additional dining experiences await in Downtown New Rochelle.
A smattering of specialty shops can be found in West End, including Enchanted Flower Boutique and Maes Gift Shop, but most residents gravitate towards the local stores in the city for shopping. “Many people will also go to White Plains for department stores and groceries, only 20 minutes away,” Idiaquez notes. Closer to home, CTown Supermarkets and a few corner shops stock everyday necessities.
Community events occur in Downtown New Rochelle, especially in the warmer months. Ruby Dee Park by Library Green hosts performances and concerts on its stage in the summertime, and the adjoining New Rochelle Public Library organizes year-round events and socials such as a book club, dance workshops and other classes.
Children in West End are zoned for the New Rochelle City School District, with schools including Columbus Elementary and Isaac Young Middle. Both schools have a B-minus rating on Niche or higher. A-minus-graded New Rochelle High School focuses on cultural diversity and college readiness through robust Business Education and World Language programs.
Feeney Park is West End’s centrally located green space that offers a playground and trails for walking canine companions or afternoon bike rides. Nearby Lincoln Park features athletic facilities to stay active, including a baseball diamond, basketball courts and a seasonally open pool. In the summertime, residents flock to beaches close by. “Glen Island Park is very popular among families for picnics and spending time at the beach,” Idiaquez says, adding that Hudson Park is another shoreside favorite for recreation, as well as the handful of country clubs along the harbor.
Not only does the neighborhood’s convenient location provide proximity to entertainment, restaurants and the Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital, but it’s also sandwiched between two train stations. Lines from the New Rochelle and Pelham Train Stations take commuters to Grand Central Station in about 45 minutes. Bus stations along Lockwood Avenue and Union Avenue offer transportation to downtown and neighboring communities. Interstate 95 hugs the West End’s southern side and connects residents north and south.
