Which Scarsdale Neighborhoods Command the Highest Prices?

How does the price per square foot vary among homes sold in Scarsdale's five elementary school districts? Which neighborhood commands the highest price per square foot, and which the lowest? We received data from the sale of 102 homes in Scarsdale between October 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and below is a chart showing the variation in the average and median price per square foot of homes in Scarsdale's five areas.

Of course, there are many factors that contribute to these variations: for example, how many new homes were sold in each area which could raise the overall per square foot or other factors such as the size of the lot, real estate taxes, proximity to the school or to busy roads.

However, even if we're unable to fully explain the forces behind the numbers, they speak for themselves:

At least for the past six months, Fox Meadow comes out on top, following by Heathcote – with Edgewood right behind it when measuring the average price per square foot.

Commenting on the data, a grandfather who lives in Scarsdale and whose daughter grew up here and has been house hunting for the past two years said, "Parents with small children are understandably worried about sending their children to Greenacres School at the same time that the building it is being torn down and rebuilt. And the School Board's indecisiveness has let this uncertainty linger for a long time. Although the actual construction process would only take a year or two, nobody knows when in the next five to ten years this is actually likely to occur. So anybody with children who are still infants, or as far along as third or fourth grade, have reason to be concerned."
