Pound Ridge, NY is located in northern westchester, and is one of the richest towns in westchester. Drive around Pound Ridge, and try to find the "less nice," or poor part - you won't find it because we don't have one. Its hard to find a house under a million dollars. And if you think the houses in Beverly Hills are expensive, they're the same prices (or more) in Pound Ridge. People who go to public school, attend Fox Lane High School. People from Pound Ridge consider Fox Lane ghetto, only because in elementry school we had 2 black people and 1 spanish person - but our high school is very diverse. Although most people are well off, Pound Ridge is much less status oriented then neighboring towns like Bedford or New Cannan.

Pound Ridge is home to many celebrities and city weekenders.

Nonetheless, this town is a very ideal place to live with outstanding schools. Very similiar to Pound Ridge, NY.

The richest county in Ny State, that directly borders NYC to the north, and borders CT as well. Counties north from Westchester like Putnam, Dutchess and Ulster are EXTREMELY different from Westchester. Westchester pretty much owns LI.

The Breakdown.

Westchester is actually not a completely rich county. It has more racially diverse areas like Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle and Ossining and Yonkers. Yet there are extremely rich towns like Scarsdale, Armonk, Rye, Bronxville, Larchmont and Bedford which give Westchester its rich reputation.

Rich and Preppy
Scarsdale - quite possibly the most annoying town in Westchester as everyone there works in NYC and sends there kids to Scarsdale HS, which happens to have a great education. The old country-club town. Like a Greenwich of Westchester.
Larchmont - same as above as it borders scarsdale
