Diverse, growing neighborhood with history

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.”

Historic homes and new construction

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.”

Recreation at Feeney Park and Glen Island Park
