Welcome to Katonah
A culturally rich, old-fashioned village surrounded by beautiful landscape.
Devoid of pretension and full of character, this peaceful town about 45 miles northeast of Manhattan has changed little over the past 100 years—except, of course, in market value.
What to Expect
Historic downtown shops, picturesque homes, and wide stretches of green.
Tree-lined Bedford Road is a historic district, with downtown shops—like the hardware store and pharmacy—that have been serving locals for more than a century. The train station is east, nestled between downtown and a watershed. West, along the side streets, you’ll find small Victorian homes. Along the outskirts of town lie more than 6,200 acres of nature preserves.
The Lifestyle
A walkable, Norman Rockwell–esque village.
Unincorporated Katonah has fewer than 1,700 residents and nary a traffic light. Shop owners know their patrons by name, and strict zoning rules have allowed the downtown area to keep its 19th-century charm.
Unexpected Appeal
A wealth of cultural offerings.
Folks from all over Westchester come to Katonah to catch a performance at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts or to see the incredible outdoor sculptures and rotating exhibits at the Katonah Museum of Art.
The Market
Colonials, contemporaries, and Victorians at a variety of price points.
Colorful “Painted Lady” Victorians, many relocated from the old town mingle with Arts & Crafts bungalows and mid-century raised ranches along the streets closest to downtown. Farther out, you’ll find impeccable multi-million-dollar estates with substantial private acreage and bucolic views.
You'll Fall in Love With
The warm Americana vibe and independent spirit.
Katonah is the kind of idyllic community depicted in children’s storybooks, with no strip malls or chain stores. Indie coffee shops and eclectic boutiques mingle with emporiums and restaurants owned by the same families for generations. The Saturday farmers’ market is held at the John Jay Homestead, the former residence of America’s first supreme court justice.
