Why Rye, New York

With its natural abundance and picturesque Long Island Sound location, Rye’s desirability dates to English settlers who, in 1660, launched a thriving farming community. In time, the town evolved into a center for oystering and grist mills and with the advent of the railroad in 1849 it became a grand go-to summer resort where affluent New Yorkers built elegant waterfront homes. Once cars started rolling up in the 1920s, Rye transformed into a coveted year-round hub for families and professionals.

Today it’s about strength in numbers. Not only does Rye boast a 27-mile ride to Manhattan, 10-miles to Westchester County Airport, 14 miles of coastline and 7 private clubs (golf, yacht, beach & rowing), but also nearly 400 years of being at the crossroads of American history.

Rye’s illustrious resort-caliber waterfront coupled with proximity to NYC has produced a “small city” rich with three Michelin Guide-selected restaurants, luxury boutiques, abundant green spaces and a roster of renowned residents: Olympic athletes, award-winning actors, writers, hedge funders, one First Lady and a Founding Father.

The visionary and the enterprising have always been drawn to Rye. With the early discovery that the area’s natural brooks generated such an unusually strong flow of water, industrious locals established more than 20 super highyielding mills before the American Revolution On this very site, on land granted by King George III, go-getter colonist Wright Frost built the Tide Mill in 1770. It was a fully functional flour mill until the dawn of the 20th century, when the Tide Mill property was repurposed as a popular marina, which it has remained until the present day.

Homebuyers are still drawn to the year-round coastal resort experience, the stunning architecture, abundance of watersports and private clubs, and the plentiful options of cultural venues and nearby private schools.

Naturally, with the multiple convenient travel options open to Rye---flying, driving or training-- residents still take advantage of the local harbors, marinas and private boat slips and the centuries-old tradition of voyaging to and from their fair city by sea.

Residing at Tide Mill, with your own private deep-water marina with five slips, traveling by water is a breeze. Anchors aweigh!
