About
Life in Mamaroneck
Living in Mamaroneck means signing up for a solidly affluent Westchester lifestyle where you're paying serious money for proximity to New York City and a genuine community that's held together by families who've chosen to stay put. The median household income sits around $120,000, and homes average over $700,000, so this isn't a bargain suburb—you're looking at a 30-minute commute to the city on average, which makes sense if you're working in Manhattan but want actual neighborhood life when you come home. The job market here is stable with a 3.3% unemployment rate, and while the economy isn't built on any single industry, you've got the Archie Comics publishing division headquartered here and enough local business to keep things steady.
