Pelham

LIFESTYLE

Pelham is made up of Pelham Village and Pelham Manor. Pelham Village holds the downtown area with restaurants, shops and the Pelham train station. Pelham Manor is farther south on the shore of the Long Island Sound. The homes in Pelham Manor tend to be on larger plots. With homes surrounding the downtown, getting to the train is easy.

Community

Pelham was founded in the pre-automobile era, with the design of the village based on walkability. Not only can parents walk to the train, but kids can walk to school as well. There are no school buses in this town. Mom and pop shops dot the main street, and many of the storefronts look straight from the 1950’s.
