Hi all, I wanted to ask about the vibe among the families in Rye Neck OUTSIDE of Greenhaven /Shore Acres.
Is it correct to say this area is a bit less professional/less white collar? Eg fewer families will have college-educated parents than say nearby Larchmont ? I’m referring to the streets between Boston Post Rd and Halstead Ave. I am genuinely sorry if my question doesn’t sound very considerate...

If it is less professional/less white collar at all, it is only slightly less so. Lots of professionals in that area of the Rye Neck school district.

To answer your question Mamaroneck is definitely more socio-economically diverse than neighboring Larchmont and has a much larger proportion of "affordable" and higher-end homes. It makes for an interesting dynamic, when you have homes in the $500k range all the way up to $10MM.

I am not sure how many "blue collar" aka "Not College Educated" (not sure those are interchangeable though) folks can afford 800K - 1.3+ houses with 15-30K taxes.. because that is what it costs to live on Wagner, Beach, Melbourne, Carroll etc...

The sales price in non-Greenhaven/non-Shore Acres is $800k+ for a starter family home (but about 20% lower than in Greenhaven) but a lot of real estate has been occupied for a long time and acquired at much lower cost. I do get a feeling it’s more of a “working class” (sorry) neighborhood...

It sounds like you already had an answer to your question.

That is correct. You will find that quite a few are actually multi-generational households.

I guess so... but wanted to verify hopefully with someone who has had more encounters with the Neighbour hood... also the school ranking are quite strong so I was puzzled.

I have "encounters" in the neighborhood and most all of the people fit the mold of those who can afford 800+ houses with 18K+ taxes...


Schools with strong ratings are not supposed to have "working class" people? What exactly is your point here?? This is not the first time you started a thread about this either... If you cannot afford Shore Acres/Greenhaven and you feel you are too good for the rest of Rye Neck than please buy somewhere else LOL...
