Not an easy comparison as Park Slope, while very nice, is quite "urban" and most of the "urban" areas in Westchester are a lot poorer.
Possibly the "Bronxville" section of Yonkers/Fleetwood, the "Fleetwood" section of Mt. Vernon, the part of the "Wykagyl" section of New Rochelle that is heavily co-op apartments and not "fancy houses" but again just close and not an exact comparison. Maybe also parts of White Plains and (though technically not in Westchester or even NY State but very very close to it) Stamford and downtown Greenwich.
Anyone familiar with Brooklyn? If so, please tell me which town you think is the "Park Slope of Westchester"? And why?
How about you tell us what you think distinguishes Park Slope from other NYC neighborhoods (Brooklyn or otherwise)? But let's get real - there's no place in Westchester that is like Park Slope, any comparison is bound to be very contrived.
I lived in Park Slope for 11 years before moving to White Plains - chosen because of its great commute and urban feel - hoping it could recapture some of that Park Slope feel. But there is nothing like it. Sorry.
Not a chance. Park Slope is bourgeois to the point of being a cliche - and almost the perfect opposite of urban NR. Anybody that likes Park Slope ought to stay in Park Slope, cause they ain't gonna get anything like it in Westchester. The OP's question is like asking which part of Tuscon is has most similar to Rye.
I don't think you'll find a place like PS in Westchester, but I've often heard people refer to the River Towns as the "Brooklyn" of Westchester.
