Spacious houses near interstates in Gedney Farms

Just outside downtown White Plains, Gedney Farms is a suburban neighborhood known for its large homes and convenience. “The ZIP code that it's in, 10605, is considered the most desirable part of White Plains for buyers,” says Ann Marie Damashek, an associate broker with Compass Greater New York, LLC. Damashek has worked in the industry for 15 years. “It’s close to downtown yet houses tend to be a little larger than the rest of White Plains, and it's also convenient to the highways.” The area was once entirely farmland owned by Salem, Massachusetts settlers Capt. John Gedney and his family. Now, Gedney Farms is home to the Burke Rehabilitation Hospital campus and a collection of revival-style homes. Residents have easy access to the Hutchinson River Parkway and Cross County Parkway, with Interstates 287 and 684 nearby.

Revival-style homes on large lots and co-ops at Bryant Gardens

Homes are in revival and custom styles such as Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival. Many custom homes have Queen Anne additions, such as rounded towers and an asymmetrical composition. There’s also cooperative housing in Bryant Gardens, a collection of brick buildings along Bryant Avenue. “Most of the housing stock in the neighborhood is from the 1920s and 30s, so you get houses with a lot of character,” says Damashek. Homes have a median build year of 1938 and most sit on large, manicured lots bordered by oak and maple trees with trimmed hedges. Many have room for a patio and an in-ground pool. The wide, winding roadways in Gedney Farms have no sidewalks, making most residents car-dependent. Co-ops range from $160,000 to $325,000. Homes with up to three bedrooms range from $1.2 million to $1.5 million, while larger houses range from $1.56 million to $2 million. A new subdivision of 99 single-family homes could be on the horizon for the former site of Ridgeway Country Club along Ridgeway and Hathaway Lane. The plan is awaiting city approval. The CAP Index Crime Score for Gedney Farms is a 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
