As a suburban town in close proximity to the glittering “Big Apple” of New York City, Eastchester offers a long-established community characterized by handsome, well-kept single-family homes, coop and rental apartments, condominiums, and town homes. The community benefits from the region’s balanced blend of moderate to light industry. Residents enjoy a variety of premier shopping and dining facilities as well as respected educational institutions. Boasting some of the quietest streets and some of the finest services in Westchester County, Eastchester is proud of its active service organizations, volunteer sports, city recreation programs, and neighborhood associations. One of the recreational highlights is the town-operated Lake Isle. State, county, and community parks combine with beaches and a wide range of facilities from sports field and courts to many supervised programs for four-season recreation.
