A growing community in Port Chester
Along the banks of the Byram River and about 33 miles from New York City, Port Chester is an older village that’s going through a renaissance. “People are catching on to the commutability and affordability compared to New York City,” says Kori Sassower, a broker with Compass Greater New York who’s been serving the area for over a decade. “So Port Chester is growing really fast. Developers are coming in to build new rentals, and they’re totaling redoing Main Street.” Factories and warehouses leftover from Port Chester’s tenure as an industrial village have been turned into residential buildings, and single-family houses pack gridded streets. Situated on the border of Greenwich, Connecticut, the New York village has more cultural and ethnic diversity than its more affluent northern neighbor, as about 62 percent of the population was Hispanic in 2023. A commuter train station, a developing Main Street and varied restaurant and shopping options make Port Chester a dynamic Westchester County village.

Eateries along North Main Street
Downtown Port Chester is a walkable hub of diverse restaurants, many of which reflect the village’s large Hispanic community. El Tio is a casual Mexican restaurant, and Don Lucho serves Ecuadorian dishes like hornado. Along the Byram River, there’s trendy Mexican eatery Bartaco and Colony Grill, a regional pizza restaurant specializing in thin-crust pies. For groceries, there’s Costco, and further options at the Gateway Shopping Center. The popular retail area has a Target and Whole Foods. Shoppers also browse J. Crew Factory, Kohl's, Ulta Beauty and Home Depot. The nearest medical center is over the Connecticut border; Greenwich Hospital is about 3 miles northeast of Port Chester.

Art shows, community runs and a historic rock venue
The historic Capitol Theatre, an ornate property built in 1926 that hosted rock legends like Pink Floyd and Janis Joplin in the 1960s, is a popular concert venue downtown. “The theater is iconic. It draws great bands, and people will even come from New York City to go to shows there,” Sassower says. Community art organizations, like the non-profit Clay Art Center and Neptune in June, host art classes and exhibits. Both groups participate in the annual art festival, where community members enjoy drop-in dance, clay, and jewelry-making classes and peruse exhibits filled with local artists’ work. The village of Port Chester also organizes free community events, like summer concerts at Lyon Park. “One of the biggest events of the year is the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot. So it’s a very active community,” Sassower says.

Condos and Colonial Revivals
Slightly lower housing prices encourage buyers relocating from New York City to look to Port Chester. The median home listing price in Port Chester was about $590,000 in 2024, lower than Westchester County’s median of $725,000 and the state-wide median of $650,000. Large condo buildings are interspersed between single-family houses on small lots. “It’s definitely a suburban-meets-urban feel,” Sassower says. “Which is what a lot of people love about it.” Condo units appeal to buyers looking for a more city-like energy, with prices ranging from $100,000 to $600,000. Classic 20th-century homes, such as Colonial Revivals, ranch styles and bungalows, make up the single-family housing inventory. Most are priced between $500,000 and $1 million.

College courses at Port Chester High
The Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District, which has about 4,500 students, earns an overall B-minus rating from Niche. The district has four elementary schools, one middle school and a high school; Port Chester High School offers college-level classes through Westchester Community College and SUNY Oneonta. Notably, the district doesn’t have a school bus system, though transportation is provided for students living more than 2 miles from their designated elementary or middle school and 3 miles from the high school. “Kids will walk or bike to school a lot of the time, though, since most live close to the schools,” Sassower says.

Many also commute to New York City for work.
