A privately owned, landmarked enclave of stately single-family homes on hilly, tree-canopied streets with no through-traffic and no commercial businesses.
Everything in this guide radiates from Yankee Stadium at 161st Street and River Avenue in the Bronx, where the Yankees train and play through the season. The smartest moves cluster up the Henry Hudson corridor in Riverdale and Fieldston for privacy and green space, with Manhattan's Upper West Side and lower Westchester's Bronxville reachable in well under 20 minutes off-peak.
A privately owned, landmarked enclave of stately single-family homes on hilly, tree-canopied streets with no through-traffic and no commercial businesses.
Leafy, affluent northwest-Bronx neighborhood of estate homes and full-service co-ops overlooking the Hudson, minutes from Wave Hill and Van Cortlandt Park.
A compact, walkable Westchester village of Tudor and Colonial homes with a top school district and a polished, low-key downtown.
Pre-war doorman co-ops and condos lining Central Park and Riverside Park, with Lincoln Center, fine dining, and white-glove buildings.
The neighborhoods above sit inside a twenty-minute drive of Yankee Stadium. But many athletes prioritize lifestyle, privacy, and prestige over commute — these are the areas across New York where athletes most often buy and rent, even though they’re a longer drive from the facility.
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. Rob Gronkowski bought at 35 Hudson Yards and Tom Brady kept a Tribeca pied-a-terre at 70 Vestry, the same buildings that draw finance and entertainment elite.
Westchester's celebrity enclave of horse farms and wooded estates, where listings run up to roughly $15M on lots stretching to 100 acres. Long favored by entertainers and executives — Drew Barrymore and Ian Schrager among them — for its rural calm an hour from Midtown.
