1825 +The Landmark Hachaliah Bailey completes the Elephant Hotel — the crossroads village at Routes 100 and 202 becomes the Cradle of the American Circus, and today's historic district takes shape around it.
1970s–80s +Heritage Hills A hillside of roughly 2,600 condominiums and detached homes rises off Route 202, permanently reshaping the Somers market with an entry point below the single-family price of admission.
2020–2021 +The Boom NYC buyers chasing space, schools, and the Harlem Line push northern Westchester prices sharply higher — Somers colonials on acreage become some of the county's most competitive listings.
2026 +~$665K Redfin puts the median Somers sale near $665K as of May 2026, up about 10% year over year — single-family homes routinely trade well above it while Heritage Hills keeps a lower door open.

Land, Water & Trails +

Angle Fly Preserve, Muscoot Farm, reservoirs…

Somers is ringed by protected water and open land — the Amawalk, Muscoot, and Titicus reservoirs, the 654-acre Angle Fly Preserve, and Muscoot Farm's trails and pastures. Lasdon Park and Arboretum adds formal gardens and woodland walks, and Reis Park anchors everyday recreation with fields, courts, and the town pool.

History You Can Touch +

The Elephant Hotel, Old Bet, the circus story…

The Elephant Hotel — a National Historic Landmark that turned 200 in 2025 — still serves as Town Hall and houses the Museum of the Early American Circus. Hachaliah Bailey's elephant Old Bet launched the American traveling menagerie from this crossroads, and her monument still watches over Routes 100 and 202.

A Town That Shows Up +

Schools, youth sports, town traditions…

Somers runs on participation — a highly regarded school district families move here for, packed youth sports calendars, Muscoot Farm's Sunday farmers market, and traditions from tree lightings at Bailey Park to state-title celebrations at the high school. It's a town where the sidelines are always full.

Homes for Every Chapter +

Colonials on acreage, Heritage Hills, hamlets…

Center-hall colonials and custom homes on wooded acreage set the tone, while Heritage Hills' roughly 2,600 condominiums offer single-level living with pools, courts, and shuttle service. The hamlets — Lincolndale, Granite Springs, Amawalk, and Baldwin Place — each add their own mix. Whatever the chapter, Rick knows where to look.
