Tucked within the town of Greenburgh in southern Westchester County, Greenville, NY, also widely known as Edgemont, is a prestigious suburban community just 22 miles north of Manhattan. With a population nearing 9,400, Greenville combines a small-town atmosphere with easy access to urban amenities and boasts one of the highest-performing school districts in the country. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we are proud to serve the residents of Greenville from our nearby Tarrytown office.

Originally developed as a summer retreat for Manhattanites, Greenville today is a flourishing, year-round community renowned for its historic architecture, academic excellence, and economic strength. The area began as a series of summer home developments designed by prominent architects and eventually evolved into a full-time residential community. Though its official name is Greenville, most residents and locals refer to it as Edgemont—especially in relation to its elite Edgemont Union Free School District, which has played a defining role in the area's identity.
Despite sharing ZIP codes with Scarsdale (10583) and Hartsdale (10530), Greenville is distinct in its governance and spirit. It is an unincorporated hamlet and census-designated place (CDP), not a part of the Village of Scarsdale, although it shares many of its characteristics—affluent neighborhoods, top-tier education, and excellent access to New York City.
Greenville is perhaps best known for its award-winning public schools, which consistently rank among the best in New York State and nationwide. The Edgemont Union Free School District includes Greenville Elementary School, Seely Place Elementary School, and Edgemont Junior/Senior High School. The high school, set on an 80-acre campus, serves students from grades 7 through 12 and has received national recognition for academic achievement.
In 2018, U.S. News & World Report ranked Edgemont High School 14th in New York State and 87th in the U.S.
In earlier years, Newsweek and Westchester Magazine both consistently ranked Edgemont among the top schools in Westchester County and the nation.
These accolades attract families from all over the region who prioritize educational quality, creating a highly engaged and community-oriented population.
According to the 2020 Census, Greenville had a population of 9,394 with a racial composition that reflects its evolving diversity. Approximately 56.5% of the population is White, while 29% is Asian, making it one of the more ethnically varied communities in Westchester. About 30% of residents are foreign-born, with a large portion from East Asia. The community is also highly educated, with 77% of residents over 25 holding a Bachelor's degree or higher.
Greenville is an affluent area, with a median household income of $170,909 and an average household income exceeding $312,000, according to the 2022 American Community Survey. Despite the high standard of living, a small percentage of residents—particularly seniors—live below the poverty line. This economic profile underscores the importance of legal protection for all residents when facing injury or hardship due to someone else’s negligence.
Greenville offers residents the ideal balance of suburban peace and urban accessibility. Metro-North Railroad stations in Scarsdale and Hartsdale provide fast and frequent service to Grand Central Terminal, with express trains reaching Manhattan in under 40 minutes. Local buses, including Bee-Line Bus routes 20/21 and 66, offer additional public transportation options.
Major roadways such as Central Park Avenue (Route 100) and the Sprain Brook Parkway make driving convenient, with access to shopping, dining, and services both in Greenville and the surrounding communities like Yonkers, White Plains, and New Rochelle. Central Park Avenue, lined with shopping centers, gas stations, and outlet stores, serves as the primary commercial corridor and draws shoppers from across southern Westchester and the Bronx.
Greenville has been home to a long list of notable residents, from corporate leaders and athletes to artists and public servants. These include:
David M. Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs
Billy Collins, former U.S. Poet Laureate
Dana Reeve, actress and wife of Christopher Reeve
Paul Heyman, wrestling promoter and entertainment executive
Steve Liesman, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
Ron Silver and Peter Scolari, acclaimed actors
And even Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, the infamous gangster
This legacy of influence and talent reflects the community’s unique blend of intellect, creativity, and ambition.
