 The Community

Bedford

Only 44 miles from Manhattan amid a classic New England atmosphere and winding country roads, the Bedford Oak still stands. The grand old tree depicted on the town seal predates Bedford’s founding in 1680, and is the emblem of a historic township renowned for incomparable rustic grace. Including Bedford Village, Bedford Hills, and Katonah, Bedford is 39.3-square miles in area, largely four-acre zoned, and has a population of 17,335 people. It contains a landmark square mile of historic homes built around a lovely village green. Includes quiet residential streets, gracious estates, and bucolic horse farms. Thirty-two miles of scenic dirt roads and hundreds of miles of continuous riding trails are hallmarks of this choice area. A hilly, open, and wooded equestrian paradise. Numerous historically important buildings include the Court House (circa 1787), Historical Hall (circa 1806), and a stone schoolhouse built in 1829.

Katonah

A historic hamlet within the privileged town of Bedford, Katonah’s quietly understated country ambiance belies its easy proximity to the metropolitan area. Forty miles from New York, Katonah shelters a population of 12,348 people. It is a unique rural jewel where the arts flourish, nature is readily available, and strong community spirit is a long-established way of life. In the 1890’s, the entire village picked up and moved about a mile, buildings and all, making way for a proposed reservoir. Today’s Katonah seems untouched since that resettlement and rebuilding.
