Living in Millwood, NY

Millwood NY Real Estate and Homes for Sale

Probably the lesser-known hamlet of New Castle, Millwood is a lovely community of around 1,000 residents. It lies to the north of Gedney Park, along the Somerstown Turnpike. Convenient access to transportation makes the commute to New York less than an hour, via car or rail, from nearby Chappaqua Station.

Returning to Millwood from the city is like entering another world for residents. Quiet roads are lined with forests and punctuated by scenic lakes and streams. The small town atmosphere makes it hard to remember that you are still so near to all the culture and opportunity that the city has to offer. This unique balance is the advantage that draws so many to homes in Westchester County.

The schools in Millwood are part of the Chappaqua Central School District, which includes the 6 schools in New Castle. These serve nearly 4000 students in the town, and Millwood is the site of one elementary school, Westorchard Elementary. Enrollment at this neighborhood school is just over 400 students, in grades K through 4. Millwood is the type of place where you might see kids shuffling through fallen leaves as they walk to and from school.

Millwood Real Estate

Compared to neighboring Chappaqua, you can generally expect to find homes on slightly smaller lots in Millwood. This is true despite the uncrowded feel of Millwood, because about a fourth of the Hamlet’s area is undeveloped public land. There is not a lot of commercial or retail property in Millwood, and that’s just fine with most of the people there. They value the small town perks, but support local businesses like Rocky’s Millwood Delicatessen, which has been serving up trademark burgers here for over 50 years.

Local officials look to move Millwood into the new century on their own terms. Development is carefully considered for its impact on the rural character and lifestyle of Millwood. In an effort to attract residents beyond the upwardly mobile young family demographic, the town strives to keep taxes low. As a result the area has a good mix of younger professionals and those reaching retirement age. This keeps the community vibrant, interesting, and diverse.
