Scarsdale Makes the List of Top Earning Towns

8heathcoteroadMoney Magazine has named Scarsdale third on their list of “Top Earning” towns, just behind Great Falls, Virginia and Hillsborough, California. In their write up, they show that the median family income in Scarsdale is $250,124 and the median home price is $1,200,000.

In the feature published on August 15, 2011 they credit Scarsdale with “superb public golf, tennis and swimming facilities, a ritzy new residential complex for seniors and a nationally renowned school system -- more than 90% of Scarsdale kids attend public school, and 99% go on to college.” Also on the list are Weston, Massachusetts, Los Altos, California and Glencoe, Illinois.

So despite residents' fears about increasing taxes and shrinking services, Scarsdale's reputation remains tops on the national scene.
