A growing community in Port Chester
Along the banks of the Byram River, about 33 miles from New York City, Port Chester serves as a commuter haven for those looking for an urban-suburban mix. Here, walkability and entertainment options blend with the feel of a former small town that has waited years and is finally shining in the spotlight. “Port Chester is an older village right on the tip of New York and Connecticut that’s truly going through a renaissance. There is a lot of building and construction going on right now, and we keep seeing more amenities pop up,” says Daniel M. Berger, broker and owner at RE/MAX Prestige Properties, who has been in real estate for 8 years. The diverse landscape of the village seamlessly blends old and new, ranging from traditional brick condominiums to newly built townhouse communities and single-family homes, encapsulating almost every style one can think of.
Eateries along North Main Street
One draw to the neighborhood is the walkability to Port Chester’s downtown along North Main Street and Westchester Avenue. “We have a vibrant downtown filled with diverse restaurants, from Central and Latin American to Indian and Asian cuisine. It just keeps growing, Berger says. One restaurant, Don Lucho, serves authentic Ecuadorian flavors, such as Hornado, a slow-roasted pork dish. At the same time, locals can enjoy fresh margaritas and river views at Bartaco, just down the street. Bagel Emporium off Irving Avenue is a go-to spot for a cup of joe and a warm breakfast bagel before heading to Gateway Shopping Center, home to Whole Foods Market, Target and Costco Wholesale.

Shows at The Capital Theatre
For a night out, locals flock to The Capital Theatre. Known as the original rock palace, artists such as Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead graced the stage during its heyday. “The Capital Theatre is a popular music venue within walking distance of the train, so it brings together a variety of people from the area,” Berger says. Downtown Port Chester is also where the sounds of marching bands echo through the town during one of the many parades. “The Village of Port Chester has various festivals but loves celebrating their heroes. So Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day and the Fourth of July consist of parades and more,” Berger says.
Colonials, Cape Cods and more
Strolling along the sidewalks shadowed by trees, a range of Colonial Revivals, Foursquares, ramblers and Cape Cods with grassy front lawns dot the streets. Prospective homebuyers can expect a one-bed, one-bath condominium to range from around $100,000 to the mid $200,000s, while units in the highly sought-after Blind Brook Lodge can range from the $300,000s to $400,000s. The average single-family home price hovers around the mid $600,000s, ranging from a Mediterranean-style home with hardwood floors and light-filled rooms to an almost $1.5 million stately colonial boasting a finished walk-out basement, sunroom, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances.
Bright and vibrant, this Port Chester home exhibits welcoming cheer.

Afternoon escapes at the park
After school, kids can practice their swing at the baseball diamond or strike up a game of bocce ball at Joseph Curtis Recreation Park.

Dog owners and their pets can head to Abendroth Park on a beautiful day to run around Port Chester’s only dog park, while down the street, Garibaldi Park is packed with children running around and laughing on the playground.

Port Chester Middle School and High School are the worst places to send your kids. They pick and choose who to punish and who to help. I wouldn't consider this a diverse district as it is predominantly African American and then some hispanics and Caucasians.
