North Salem offers large land parcels in a rural community near NYC
Welcome to equestrian country: even though North Salem is only 55 miles from Manhattan, you quickly realize this is a staunchly rural community. Former cow pastures, marked by old stone walls, are now populated by barns and horses. When it comes to running errands, like shopping for groceries, you’re going to need a car. The presence of Interstate 84 makes it a breeze to reach a Stop & Shop supermarket. Commuters also have access to a pair of Metro-North Railroad stations. “The advantage of living out in this area, though, is that you’ll get more land with your home,” says Susan Hawkins, a Realtor with Sotheby’s.
The North Salem community offers mini mansions with acres to enjoy.

Historic homes blend with contemporary architectural styles
While modern styles can be found here, you’ll also see a lot of 18th and 19th century homes in North Salem. For example, expect to encounter plenty of Colonial homes, including contemporary interpretations from the early 2000s that have all the hallmark features of that genre – from a covered front porch to the cool color palette of creams and blues. On the other hand, those vintage styles truly stand out, such as Greek Revival homes from the mid-19th century. Properties typically come with multiple acres of land, and prices are generally in the million-dollar range.

Art exhibits, gardens and apple orchards are popular for local outings
Near the schools is one of North Salem’s prime attractions: the Hammond Museum and Japanese Stroll Garden. You can visit to check out the exhibitions on Japanese art, or simply walk around the 7-acre garden. Apple picking at Outhouse Orchards always promises a fun get-together. And if you don’t want to hop on the interstate for some food, swing by Harvest Moon Farm and Orchard: the country store has dairy, honey, meats, fruits and veggies. The kitchen sells hot sandwiches and a local favorite – apple cider donuts. Seasonal events are held there throughout the year, from the Easter Egg Hunt in the spring to the Festival of Lights in the winter.
