Bedford, NY Real Estate & Homes For Sale

"It depends which part of Bedford you live in. There is a lot of space and wooded areas however, you almost definitely need a car and there aren’t many sidewalks (except for parts of town)."

"Bedford is THE classic Westchester village. Friendly and involved citizens abound in this picturesque, historic and safe tight knit community. Local pride is always on display, as are scenes of classic Americana at every town parade, little league game and celebration on the famous Village Green. Where else do the buildings at the heart of your village predated the Declaration of Independence? And citizens buried in the village cemetery since the early 1600's would easily recognize their surroundings to this day? And historic tours offered to visit neighborhood homes such as that of founding father John Jay? All of this history blends beautifully with an ever blossoming and sought after school system and spectacular public parks, athletic fields, town swimming pools, and the famous Bedford Riding Lanes Association. The definition of classic "horse country" where anyone can easily see foals playing each spring and often share the road with four-hooved vehicles throughout the seasons. Opportunities to hike on nature trails, see abundant wildlife and bring man's best friend along as you go are endless. Here, parents can still let their kids go off with their friends, ALONE, for a walk to get a snack, see a movie, go to the park or for a day at the pool. It's a wonderful sight and feeling to still see there is place where this is still part of the norm. There is simply no place like Bedford Village. It is one of the most unique places in America to live. Many think of Bedford and immediately associate it with it's many famous residents or epic estates. However, the true heart of it is one of small town America preserved in it's best form for posterity, while all the while staying at the forefront of culture, politics, public events, education and all aspects of life. Nothing is perfect...but it'a close."
