Larchmont

Let's Take a Walk

Manor Park is the first stop on any tour of Larchmont as it is the heart and soul of the village with its stunning water views and charming gazebos. Deeded to residents of The Manor, it is a private park that welcomes visitors. Within the park there is a small sand beach and boat moorings available to members of the Horseshoe Harbor Club and Manor Park Beach Club. Recently, a beach just for dogs and their owners was opened! Close by the park you will find both the Larchmont Yacht Club, home to superb sailing facilities, and the Larchmont Shore Club, known for its swimming and tennis programs. The Manor itself is filled with large gracious homes built mostly at the turn of the century. As you walk up Larchmont Avenue, you will pass several houses of worship, The French American School, the Larchmont Library and the Village Hall.

You then come to the first of two shopping areas in the village. There you will find everything from hardware stores to European chocolate shops. Sidewalk dining is another popular way to stay in touch with your neighbors! Continuing through the village you will find a variety of architectural styles, but most homes were built in the years between 1910 and 1940. This is reflected in the design of the downtown storefronts and the old Tudor-style Larchmont Movie Theater on Palmer. Stop for ice cream after a show or gather with friends at the tavern.  Leaving the village for the unincorporated part of the town, you will see the terrain start to change. The houses in this area are also primarily built between 1910 to 1940 and are a mix of Tudors, Colonials and Arts & Crafts bungalows.

The train station is centrally located between the village and the Unincorporated area. Many people walk there to catch the 33-minute ride into Manhattan.
