Townhomes for Sale in Fisher Hill, White Plains

A couple of blocks from the high-rise government buildings and apartment complexes in downtown White Plains, the streets start to change as they begin their incline into Fisher Hill. The neighborhood looks like a well-preserved slice of the turn of the 20th century, with pointed towers rising from homes and decorative white fences surrounding brightly painted houses. Homes define this neighborhood 25 miles north of New York City, but its proximity to downtown puts it within a mile of shopping and events, such as the weekly White Plains Farmers Market. Fisher Hill’s streets showcase early 20th-century architecture: Bay windows overlook the streets from Queen Anne homes, the roofs of Tudor Revivals slope nearly to the ground and American Foursquare houses line up in near rows.

There are a few multifamily homes too, with prices between $1 million and $1.2 million.
