Larchmont Homes for Sale - Westchester, NY

The Community

Larchmont is the part of the Town of Mamaroneck.  Together they share over 12 miles of picturesque coastline on the Long island Sound.  The harbors, coves and inlets create a setting of unparalleled beauty.  Mamaroneck is one of the oldest settlements in Westchester County.  It was purchased from the Siwanoy Indians in 1661 and incorporated as a village in 1895.

Larchmont began as a Quaker farming town, but soon the area along the water known as The Manor evolved into a summer retreat for wealthy New Yorkers and the Broadway theater community.  A sophisticated place with a small-town vibe, Larchmont residents are involved and engaged in their community.  The Unincorporated area is a rolling, wooded part of the township with dramatic rocky outcroppings, streams, and lakes.  It is in neither village, but shares a postal address with Larchmont.  There is one school district for the three areas that comprise the township of Mamaroneck, but they each have their own municipal governments and services.
