Why Live in Highlands
Well-kept homes, leafy streets and proximity to some of the city’s most important amenities make Highlands one of White Plains’ most desired neighborhoods. Commercial development extends south from downtown into Highlands, putting restaurants, shops and White Plains Hospital at the edges of the neighborhood. Meanwhile, rows of pre-World War II homes and public parks fill out the middle of Highlands. Plus, the location near the center of White Plains means train rides and highways to Manhattan are close by. Highlands stands out to many for its curb appeal. Early 20th-century designs, including American Foursquares, Dutch colonials and Tudor Revivals, stand on small lawns, often surrounded by hedges and blooming with flower gardens. “The houses are older but nice and stately, and people take care of their properties,” says Julie Alcee, an associate real estate broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New York Properties and a White Plains resident. Homes on the south end near the Soundview neighborhood are typically larger and spaced out on bigger lots. Prices generally range from $650,000 to $1 million, though houses with four or more bedrooms can cost up to $1.3 million. The
