Inside the homes of the second richest town in America
Famous neighbors in Scarsdale, New York include titans of the financial industry
Griffin Capital president Randy Anderson discusses why he thinks real estate is a good investment right now.
Located just 30 miles outside of New York City, the tony enclave of Scarsdale is the richest town on the East Coast and the second richest town in America, according to Bloomberg 2019 Richest Places report.
Scarsdale's average household income is an astonishing $417,335, according to Bloomberg. Famous neighbors include American billionaire investor Daniel Och and hedge fund honcho David Siegel, according to Westchester Magazine. While many homeowners cite the award-winning schools as the main draw to the leafy suburb, the homes themselves are fit for a king.
Here’s a look behind the hedges of Scarsdale.

This palatial estate was recently at the center of a bidding war between two Major League Baseball players. The close proximity to all major sporting arenas in the New York area and superb privacy make this property a home run for any professional athlete. The home was also featured in Jerry Seinfeld's hit Netflix show "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee". Listing agent Heather Harrison of Compass told FOX Business the home is in turn-key condition, perfect for entertaining and well-suited for a family who wants it all.
