We are very excited to have the Furniture Sharehouse, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary, joining us. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in White Plains. It collects used furniture, turns it around, and gives it to needy families in Westchester. It is staggering to realize how many needy neighbors we have right in our backyards. For more information about this terrific organization, please check out its website at http://www.furnituresharehouse.org.

A special thanks to the Green Committee volunteer members, Mayor Mary Marvin, our liaison to the Village of Bronxville, Furniture Sharehouse, St. Joseph's Youth Ministry members, and Wayne Ballard and his dedicated and always helpful DPW staff for making this much-needed event possible.

Look for us again in May '17.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
