Located just 30 miles north of New York City, Briarcliff Manor is one of the most picturesque and historically rich suburban villages in Westchester County. It sits on the east bank of the Hudson River, spreading across 5.9 square miles and encompassing parts of the towns of Mount Pleasant and Ossining. Known for its distinctive architecture, natural beauty, and storied past, Briarcliff Manor has earned a reputation as a prestigious and tranquil community—one that Sullivan Brill is honored to serve.
Briarcliff Manor was officially incorporated in 1902, but its history traces back to precolonial times when the Wappinger tribes, specifically the Sint Sincks, inhabited the area. Later, during the 19th century, the area was known as Whitson’s Corners before being transformed by visionary developer Walter William Law, who laid the foundations of the modern village—establishing schools, churches, parks, and the iconic Briarcliff Lodge. His legacy is so influential that his quote, “Only the best is good enough,” remains a guiding principle for the village.
Briarcliff Manor is home to a number of historic districts, most notably the Scarborough Historic District, which covers 376 acres and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Areas such as Scarborough and Chilmark reflect the village’s colonial elegance and affluence.
Many prominent American families—the Rockefellers, Astors, and Vanderbilts—have called Briarcliff Manor home. Today, the village continues to be an enclave for families and professionals seeking a high quality of life in a setting that blends historic charm with modern convenience.
The motto “A Village Between Two Rivers” references its location between the Hudson and Pocantico Rivers, a geography that lends itself to breathtaking views, lush green spaces, and an exceptional standard of living.
Despite its proximity to New York City, Briarcliff Manor is a village that celebrates the outdoors. With over 180 acres of parks and recreational space, residents enjoy access to sports fields, playgrounds, walking trails, and nature preserves. The Pocantico River, Caney Brook, and Sparta Brook are just a few of the water bodies that enrich the landscape, while the region’s dolomite, granite, and mica schist rock formations reflect the area’s glacial history.
The climate in Briarcliff Manor offers four distinct seasons—perfect for outdoor living year-round. Whether hiking, kayaking, or ice skating, residents enjoy all the recreational opportunities Westchester County has to offer.
Briarcliff Manor has always prioritized safety, education, and quality of life. The village boasts a low crime rate, ranked second-lowest in the state in a 2012 study. It has its own police department, fire department, public works, and recreation departments, all working to ensure the village remains a safe and inviting place to live.
The community also supports several Christian churches and synagogues, highlighting the village’s inclusive and community-focused spirit. The public school system and various private education options contribute to making Briarcliff Manor an ideal place to raise a family.
