Named after an Indian word meaning "where the fresh water falls into the salt," the Village of Mamaroneck grew up around its harbor, the second largest natural small boat harbor on the East Coast. It is composed of the Village of Larchmont, the Village of Mamaroneck and an unincorporated area that is part of neither village. The two villages together boast 12 1/2 miles of shoreline, scenic harbors, sandy beaches and more than 323 acres of parkland. Larchmont features magnificent waterfront properties and trendy boutiques and restaurants in its main town. The superior public school system is a major factor that draws residents to the Larchmont/Mamaroneck area. Two school districts serve the area. Both systems are recognized for their excellent teaching staff, high standards and the finest in learning facilities. While 85% of students attend public schools, the area has excellent private and parochial educational systems. The beautiful beaches and recreational activities, along with the wonderful real estate, are just a few reasons why so many residents enjoy living here.
