Bedford Corners

Bedford Corners, the newest hamlet in historic Bedford, actually shares a post office and zip code with neighboring Mount Kisco. Located in the southeast corner of the town, Bedford Corners is similar to its sister hamlets. It is residential, and features large homes and estates on multiple acres.

Though quiet characterizes the area, signs of life in the form of retail shopping are close. The hamlet is bordered by South Bedford Road, also known as State Route 117, which leads to Mount Kisco’s business district. One of the few Target stores in upper Westchester is located in Mount Kisc, adjacent to a large A&P grocery store.

The hamlet is located near two parks, Leonard Park, which is part of Mount Kisco, and the Marsh Memorial Sanctuary, which is a 156 acre nature preserve with hiking trails. Bedford Corners is also home to Stonecrest, a home dating back to 1879, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Students who live in Bedford Corners attend the Bedford Central Schools, which has 4,200 students attending five elementary schools, and a middle and high school. The district has been recognized both locally and nationally for excellence.

Residents who need to commute to the city have three station options: Bedford Hills, Mount Kisco and Katonah. Travel time averages around 50 minutes. The hamlet is also located in easy proximity to both the Saw Mill Parkway and Interstate 684.

Like Bedford and its other hamlets, Bedford Corners is expensive. Most of its properties are over a million dollars, with some homes costing in the multi-millions.

Bedford Corners is in the south eastern corner of the Town of Bedford right alongside Mount Kisco. Most people only think of Bedford Hills, Bedford Village and Katonah as Bedford hamlets largely because Bedford Corners is the new kid on the block, so to speak.
Bedford Corners has many of the swanky homes that are typical of this town and it also includes some more middle of the range properties. It is a little unclear why this is defined as a separate hamlet – and some people see it as a pure real estate game!
Stonecrest, a historic manor which is in the National Register of Historic Places, is in Bedford Corners. It is a Stick or Stick-Eastlake style house built in the early 20th century.

Bedford Corners offers great schools as it is part of the Bedford public school system. It also has easy access to the good shopping in Mount Kisco. There is above average diversity in Mount Kisco and so the elementary school serving this area is also less homogenous that some of the neighboring communities.

Dining out options exist in Katonah, Bedford Village and in Mount Kisco. There are also movie theaters and there is the famous Caramoor and Katonah Museum of Art to provide the cultural richness that is sometimes lacking in suburban living.

Natural beauty is without a doubt the real hallmark of this county and it can be seen in Bedford Corners’ rolling terrain. If you live here, you don’t have to travel far to get the full impact of the rebirth of spring or the gorgeous colors of fall.

Bedford Corners is a delightful combination of natural beauty and cultural richness, a true microcosm of the larger Town of Bedford.
