The beautiful neighborhood of Pelham Manor, sometimes called the first suburb north of New York, welcomes residents to its low-key lifestyle with gracious single-family homes for rent, as well as some high-rise apartments. The commute to Manhattan proves fairly simple, with the train station in walking distance and the MetroNorth train making the journey in about half an hour.
Pelham Bay Park, an NYC park that's three times the size of Central Park, welcomes everyone to enjoy its beaches, sports courts, bridle paths, and historic buildings. After a relaxing day outdoors with your new neighbors, stop at the Edo Japanese Steak House, a neighborhood landmark, to watch the chef cook your dinner in front of you.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
