A "Little Manhattan"
Located at the northern edge of the New York City metropolitan area, the city of White Plains is much more than a mere neighbor of the “Big Apple.” This large urban center includes a vibrant downtown area, a highly rated public school district and even a large park commemorating an early Revolutionary War battle, all while serving as Westchester County's commercial and employment hub. Realtor and local expert Giovanni Gonzalez of GioHomes Real Estate says, “People call White Plains ‘Little Manhattan’ because it offers a lot of amenities for its residents. We don’t even have to commute anywhere else, as we can find everything here in White Plains.” With just under 60,000 residents, this county seat of Westchester County is a regional center of its own, with an incredibly diverse and competitive real estate market drawing new residents into a fast-growing metropolis.
From houses to co-ops and Condos, residents have many options in White Plains.
With clearly marked crosswalks, White Plains is a great place to take a walk.

Downtown shopping at the City Center
White Plains’ modern, urban streets are packed with shops, restaurants and major employers. Gonzalez says of White Plains, “It’s a really nice little city that offers a lot for its residents. There’s a lot of shopping opportunities, and the downtown is full of life, bars, restaurants and young people.” The visually prominent City Center shopping mall, along Mamaroneck Avenue, is home to a ShopRite supermarket and several brand-name eateries and clothing stores, including a Nordstrom Rack, a Target and a Buffalo Wild Wings. Other shopping options include the Westchester Mall and Bloomingdales.

Convenient commutes
One of White Plains’ most significant features is its proximity to New York City, as commuters can expect an approximately 40-minute drive down Interstate 87, or a 30-minute train ride, to Manhattan. City buses also provide transportation around the city for those who prefer not to drive, connecting locals to major employment centers like Pepsico, Gerber Life Insurance and Jackson Lewis and healthcare centers like the Burke Rehabilitation Center and the White Plains Hospital. The city's downtown area is also incredibly pedestrian-friendly, as its sidewalks are often packed with shoppers on weekends.
Recreation and reflection at White Plains' parks
White Plains is home to several parks that offer opportunities for both outdoor recreation and historical reflection. Locals can visit the J. Harvey Turnure Memorial Park to walk down its footpaths or Tibbits Park to observe its statues, war memorial, fountains and gazebo. This park, like the Battle of White Plains Park just across the Bronx River from Downtown, also features educational signage commemorating the historical significance of this town during the Revolutionary War.
Tibbits Park is a nature oasis in White Plains.

Seasonal happenings
As the center of life in Westchester County, White Plains is brimming with culture, best expressed through annual events. January sees White Plains’ most popular restaurants host “Restaurant Month” to bring out their most delicious flavors for fixed prices, while each year also sees the city put on Oktoberfest in October, JazzFest in September and a December Holiday Market to keep residents engaged and entertained every season.
A fast-growing market
White Plains may have been founded in 1683, but it only became a city in 1916, and much of White Plains’ suburban housing stock dates to the early decades of the 20th century. In White Plains’ southern outskirts, Dutch Colonial, Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival homes dating to the 1920s and 1930s now sell for between $700,000 and $1 million due to extensive remodeling, while condo units in the heart of the city can sell for between $700,000 and $2.8 million, with plenty of variety in between. Gonzalez says, “It’s a city that is growing at a really fast pace; they’re building a lot and modernizing a lot of existing infrastructure.” In contrast to older housing, newer, “luxury living” residences such as the Ritz Carlton Residences Westchester are freshly developed, with less than twenty years behind them. This diversity of housing options explains not just the variation in listing prices from $124,000 to $2 million, but also rising sale prices and longer average days on the market for each home.
