Purchase is 27 miles northeast of Manhattan. It is located in lower Westchester County, near the eastern border between New York State and Connecticut. The average household income of $976,000 in zip code 10577 for its 5,400 residents is reported as the 5th wealthiest zip code in the United States per Bloomberg. Typical homes prices range from just under $1 million to just north of $10 million; with the median price being near $2 million, it is not surprising that homes are well maintained. At Genesis Pro Painting, we’ve been selected for several exterior-home painting projects in Purchase and we’ve been able to please even the most exacting standards.
This charming hamlet features stately homes and wide-open spaces. Favorite local restaurants include Trattoria 632 and The Cobblestone. Property taxes are mitigated due to the presence of corporate headquarters for global companies such as Mastercard, PepsiCo, and Atlas Air. Private high school Keiko Academy and College campuses SUNY Purchase, Manhattanville College, and portions of Fordham University add to the area’s cultural richness, particularly the Performing Arts Center or the Neuberger Museum. If you get the opportunity, check out the John Shearer exhibition with historic photos of Martin Luther King’s funeral, Ali Frazier pre-bout events, and Attica Prison Riot, among others.
