A tiny gated-feeling enclave of fewer than 2,000 residents perched above the Hudson in Bergen County, with multi-acre mansions, a median home price near $6M, and a long roster of athlete and celebrity homeowners. Patrick Ewing, CC Sabathia, Johnny Damon, and Ilya Kovalchuk have all lived here, and Tom Brady once shopped the town.
Connecticut's marquee old-money town, where backcountry enclaves like Conyers Farm average north of $13M and gated estates list as high as $49.5M. Generations of New York athletes — Mark Messier, Mike Richter, Mark Teixeira, Frank Gifford, Tom Seaver — have settled here alongside Hollywood and finance names.
For athletes who want the city itself, Tribeca's discreet full-floor lofts and the glass towers of Hudson Yards (15 and 35 HY) are the prestige picks.
