About Katonah Real Estate


Distance to NYC: 45 miles
Area: 25 square miles
 
Katonah is a village in the Town of Bedford, located at the junction of three main highways, two scenic reservoirs and a Metro North station offering a 60 minute commute to New York City. Katonah has its own unique flavor, enhanced by the charm of its turn-of-the-century architecture. It's a village with a tremendous sense of pride and cohesiveness, having survived two moves (the latter being when Old Katonah was flooded to create the reservoir system in the late 1800's). Surrounded by family neighborhoods and country estates, horse farms and wooded retreats, the predominant feeling is one of a small, but thriving, old-fashioned village.
 
Educational Facilities
The Village of Katonah and its environs are in the Katonah-Lewisboro School System. Katonah Elementary School serves grades K-5 and John Jay Middle School (grades 6-8) and John Jay High School are located about 15 minutes away in the hamlet of Cross River, on a beautiful 55-acre campus with distant mountain views. More than 85% of John Jay High School graduates continue their formal education in college.
 
In addition there are two private schools - the Harvey School in Katonah and Rippowam Cisqua located nearby in Bedford.
 
Recreational Facilities
The Katonah Museum of Art, a nationally recognized art museum,offers exhibits and educational and artistic programs far superior to what would normally be expected from a community of this size. Katonah Town Park offers swimming, tennis and sports.
 
Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts not only houses one of the last important private art collections which is still intact, but is famous for its summer music festival. There are wonderful concerts of classical music all in a country setting. Picnicking on the lovely grounds before concerts is encouraged. The historic John Jay Homestead is also a Katonah landmark. This period home,open to the public, offers seasonal events such as movies, concerts and special exhibits. The beautiful stone library is one of the finest in Westchester.
 
The small town atmosphere is enhanced by many popular events throughout the year: The Firemen's Parade, Halloween Parade, Lion's (Rotary) Street Fair, Katonah Sales Day, Santa's arrival and the Holiday Festival, which are all heavily attended.
