search on the sotherby's site for homes. That is the complete list of homes for sale as it is linked to the MLS. The NYT is only a list of homes people choose to advertise there. [ Reply | More

Even aside from that, the white kids from Scarsdale HS do much better in college admissions than the kids from Larchmont. Wealth and legacy status may well have something to do with it, but still, there is a big difference. [ Reply | More

They are both nice with many expensive homes, they just have different vibes. She might be able to get a better house in Scarsdale or think it's a little more bucolic than Larchmont. Scarsdale's school system ranks higher but they are both good. Some people who care about education are almost turned off that the Scrasdale school system is so good (they worry their kids will face too much pressure). I would guess you have to wear make up and get yourself together to go out a little bit more if you live in Scarsdale. [ Reply | More
