Market Snapshot
Redfin’s citywide numbers put Scarsdale’s median sale price at $2.1 million, though that’s down from an unusually strong year earlier. Zoom into the 10583 zip code specifically and Zillow’s typical home value is $1,317,802, up 2.6% year-over-year – a reminder that “Scarsdale” covers a wide price range depending on which of its five hamlets you’re in. Homes are moving fast, with a median of 24 days on market and many selling above asking.
Schools
Scarsdale High School holds a 10/10 GreatSchools rating and earned a College Success Award for the 2023-24 school year. It’s a big part of why buyers pay a premium here – test scores, AP participation, and college outcomes are consistently among the strongest in the state.
Commute to NYC
Scarsdale sits on the Metro-North Harlem Line in Zone 4. Peak fare to Grand Central runs about $13.75 one-way ($10.25 off-peak), with express trains making the trip in around 33-38 minutes.
Neighborhood Character
Scarsdale is really five distinct hamlets – Fox Meadow, Heathcote, Greenacres, Quaker Ridge, and Edgewood – each with its own feel but the same commitment to schools and tree-lined streets. Expect Tudor and Colonial homes, some sections without sidewalks, and a village center built around the train station.
