Battle Hill Multifamily Home for Sale

Battle Hill’s rolling terrain doesn’t discourage locals from going out for strolls, walking food over to their neighbors or doing other activities that keep them out and about, connecting with fellow residents. For example, when resident Julie Alcee ordered mulch from the city of White Plains, her neighbors offered the cover off their boat to dump the mulch on. “That’s very much the tenor of the neighborhood,” says Alcee, an associate real estate broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New York Properties. “I love my neighbors; they’re very down-to-earth.” For much of its history, Battle Hill was known as the site of a Revolutionary War face-off between British troops and the Continental Army. Today, this neighborhood across the Bronx River from downtown White Plains is desired for its proximity to a train station that connects to Manhattan, 25 miles away. The location attracts residents of varying ages and backgrounds, creating a friendly community anchored by an active neighborhood association. People live in tight rows of houses with small yards and neighbors close by. Architectural styles vary widely, alternating between Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and Tudor Revivals.
