Wooded lanes. Enduring architecture.
The quiet distinction of Larchmont Woods.
Larchmont Woods is one of those rare places where the setting and the spirit belong together.
In a leafy corner of New Rochelle, along the Town of Mamaroneck border, a distinctive residential neighborhood unfolds through wooded streets and homes with individual character. The appeal is quietly confident: established surroundings, architectural charm, and the pleasure of a place that feels its own.
Here, prestige is expressed in the details. A stone wall softened by greenery. A beautifully proportioned roofline. The changing light beneath a canopy of trees.
