Welcome to Armonk
Luxury country living with close proximity to Manhattan
A peaceful, idyllic hamlet in New York’s Westchester County, Armonk has long been a fantastic real estate opportunity for those who work in and commute to New York City. Visitors and residents fall in love with the upscale village but stay for the friendly, hospitable neighbors.
Armonk also has a historic past dating all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Smith’s Tavern, where Revolutionary militias once gathered, was a regular stagecoach stop between New York and Danbury, Connecticut.
In the 1960s, Armonk grew exponentially due to the construction of IBM’s Global Headquarters, which brought in a bevy of affluent and successful residents — many of whom still live there today.
Armonk Village’s walkable business district, new restaurants, and first-rate school system increasingly draw young families from all over. This area in Westchester County is considered a top-dollar investment and a charming escape from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.

Dining, Entertainment and Shopping
There is no shortage of amazing restaurants and eateries in Armonk’s downtown village. This small town feels like a lively mini-city given all the dining options! While there are still mom-and-pop shops like La Mer Seafood Market, the housing boom here has attracted upscale spots like Zero Otto Nove or Moderne Barn. For a fun patio setting with craft beer and great food, Amore is the local favorite, while The Beehive serves up American fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Fortina, where authentic pizza makers craft creative wood-fired Neapolitan pies in a barn-like space, is an awesome spot for dinner out with friends. Local grocer DeCicco’s built their uber-popular supermarket in Armonk as well — the two-floor space comes complete with a craft beer bar.
Shopping is largely mom-and-pop shops, including long-standing favorites like Hickory & Tweed, the 50-year-old bike and ski shop in a red barn-like building. For oenophiles, explore Wine Geeks, opened by the original wine director of Blue Hill at Stone Barns. There’s also a holistic market, the beloved Beascakes Bakery doughnuts, and Tazza, the go-to spot for fantastic lattes in town.
Things To Do
Many Armonk residents enjoy golfing during the spring, summer, and early fall at Whippoorwill Country Club or the newly redesigned Summit Club, both of which have pools for kids. Lombardi Park and Wampus Brook Park are well-maintained public parks for kids, recreation leagues, and sporting events, and many residents love taking to The Eugene & Agnes Meyer or Nichols Nature Preserves for hiking trails and a taste of the great outdoors.Schools
Armonk has a top-rated school district called the Byram Hills School District. Most kids in town attend public schools and know their classmates from a young age through graduation. They attend either Coman Hill or Wampus Elementary School then matriculate to H.C. Crittenden Middle School and, eventually, Byram Hills High School. BHHS has a formidable football program and a fantastic graduation rate.
