COMMUNITY

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.
