I wish there were more gender neutral bathrooms, and things were a bit cheaper, but otherwise a nice town.
Not a lot of food, but good chinese place (Pelham Palace) and many different pizza shops to choose from.
I like that everything is walking distance, and there is a target just outside of town

I've lived in Pelham for over 6 years and I absolutely love the town! The people are very welcoming and friendly. The town is also very safe and the schools are amazing.
Intensely cliquish densely populated small town. While often self-described as diverse compared to other Westchester towns, the wealthy sections around the train station and parts of the Manor have low or no diversity. Engineered play dates ensure this mentality sticks around through high school. They have a charity event each year benefiting the local library in which families host book themed dinners; one this past year was titled, "Mean Girls," which speaks volumes about the town's character. The happiest residents are the ones whose work days are long and the 3+kids are easily ferried about by nannies. Schools are neither great nor bad but simply mediocre, however, the tilt is downward since school population is booming and the already high taxes must have a ceiling. The location is excellent and town picturesque. Perhaps the same problems abound in all of Westchester's smaller towns and villages? My preference is for a larger, more breathable space.
