Neighborhood Description A Tiny Strip of New York That Feels Like the Suburbs By JANE GROSS Published: May 06, 1997 SIGN IN TO E-MAIL PRINT On a narrow sliver of land between the gabled mansions of Westchester County and the wild brambles of Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, 35 lucky homeowners live on the literal divide between city and country, with the advantages of both and the disadvantages of neither. This urban-suburban demilitarized zone is technically in the Bronx, so its inhabitants pay modest property taxes, thousands less than their Westchester neighbors. And they meet the residency requirements for certain judicial and political jobs in New York City. But their children go to Pelham schools under the terms of a contract that dates back half a century. And they enjoy the serenity and safety of suburbia, plus the snob appeal of a Pelham Manor zip code and telephone exchange. This 250-foot-wide strip between Long Island Sound and the Hutchinson River is a no man's land where geographic and political boundaries do not coincide. No one lived here when the Bronx-Westchester county line was drawn in the 1890's. But now they do, and their fondness for the area demonstrates the delight city people take in beating the system and the preoccupation suburbanites have with taxes and schools.
