Why Mid-Century Homes in Westchester Have My Heart
Contemporary and mid-century homes have always captured my heart. There's something timeless about their clean lines, open spaces, and unique charm. But what do you think? Could a mid-century home be your dream style? If you’re considering a move to Westchester County, you’re in luck—this area has a significant number of mid-century homes.
What is a Mid-Century Home?
These gems, primarily built between the 1940s and 1960s, offer the clean, minimalist design and spacious layouts that mid-century modern architecture is known for.
Large windows invite natural light, and open floor plans create a sense of flow that feels effortlessly modern even today. You’ll find these homes in some of Westchester's most desirable towns, including Bedford, Scarsdale, Rye, and Pound Ridge.
In these communities, the architectural style has been lovingly preserved, making mid-century homes a highly sought-after feature of the local real estate market. Westchester’s proximity to New York City also played a significant role in its mid-century architecture boom. Many architects and designers of that era were drawn to the area as they sought to blend modern design with suburban tranquility. The result? A rich collection of homes that seamlessly combine aesthetics and livability.
If you're as drawn to mid-century homes as I am, Westchester County offers plenty of opportunities to embrace this iconic style. And the best part? These homes don't just offer eye-catching design; they provide the suburban charm and sense of community that Westchester is known for.
Whether you’re in the market for a mid-century masterpiece or just exploring your options, I’d love to help you find the perfect home.

As we shift seasons, we are starting to see the real estate market pickup again after a quiet August. I will get straight to the point- it is still a sellers market despite what the national news is saying. Westchester and Fairfield counties are still seeing inventory fly- especially at purchases under 1.2M.
I get this question all the time from new clients: "Jess, I'm moving to Westchester, but I'm worried about finding my people. How do I build community here?" My answer is always the same: You have to show up. Here's the beautiful thing about Westchester – this county practically rolls out the red carpet for connection.
Westchester County has one of the most active, welcoming communities in the Northeast. This isn't marketing speak or real estate hyperbole—it's a reality that thousands of families experience daily across towns from Bedford to White Plains, Scarsdale to Mount Kisco.
