Broadview Avenue is deeply connected to New Rochelle’s Gilded Age history, when the area served as a fashionable retreat for wealthy New Yorkers. Its tree-lined streets and magnificent historic homes evoke the setting immortalized by E. L. Doctorow in his celebrated 1975 novel Ragtime, which he wrote at a neighboring Broadview Avenue residence.

Paine Heights is celebrated for its distinguished architecture, mature trees, and historic character, with convenient access to downtown New Rochelle, Larchmont, Pelham, restaurants, shopping, schools, Iona University, and Metro-North transportation to Manhattan, as well as multiple houses of worship. It is easily walkable to many charming retail stores and restaurants.

A rare opportunity to own a magnificent architectural treasure in one of New Rochelle’s most storied neighborhoods.
