Living in Tuckahoe NY: 2027 Prices, Taxes, Schools and Commute

Tuckahoe at a Glance (Updated November 2026)

What is it like to live in Tuckahoe NY?

Living in Tuckahoe NY means a compact, walkable village of about 0.6 square miles with 7,084 residents at the 2020 Census and two train stations close by. It sits inside the Town of Eastchester and has its own village government.

The village has an industrial past. Tuckahoe was known for its marble and was once called the marble capital of the world. The Church of the Immaculate Conception was built with Tuckahoe marble, and the Ward House, a rebuilt Revolutionary War-era house, stands at 230 White Plains Road.

There is science history too. The former Burroughs Wellcome labs on Scarsdale Road are where Nobel laureates Gertrude Elion and George Hitchings worked.

Day to day, Tuckahoe appeals to buyers who want a village address, a short walk to Metro-North and a mix of co-ops, condos and houses. Co-ops and condos make up a large share of sales, which is part of why prices here start lower than in neighboring Bronxville. Because Tuckahoe is a village inside a town, owners pay both village and Town of Eastchester taxes, and some services come from each level of government. That layering is normal in Westchester, but it is worth understanding before you compare tax bills with a city such as New Rochelle.

Walk the blocks around both stations at different times of day to get a feel for noise, parking and the walk home.

How much do homes cost in Tuckahoe in 2027?

The Redfin median sale price, all home types, 3 months ending Sep 2026, is $778,000, down 12.8% from a year earlier. The median price per square foot was $404, down 10.9%, per Redfin.

Do not read too much into that drop. Redfin's Tuckahoe market follows ZIP codes 10707 and 10708, not strictly the village, and the sample is small, so one quarter with more co-op sales can pull the median down sharply. Zillow's home value index, which tracks typical values rather than sales, was $863,000 as of Sep 30, 2026, up 8.9% year over year, according to Zillow.

The gap between those two numbers tells you the median moves with the mix of sales. A buyer near $778,000 should expect to be looking mostly at co-ops, condos and smaller homes. Single-family houses generally sit above the all-home-type median, so set your budget by the home type you actually want.

If you are buying a co-op, plan for board approval and ask for the building's financials and monthly maintenance, which are separate from the property tax estimate below. For condos, ask about common charges and any planned assessments. These costs can change your monthly payment as much as the purchase price does.

How high are property taxes in Tuckahoe?

The combined rate in Tuckahoe is about 2.5% of market value, roughly $19,000 a year on the $778,000 median. That is an estimate that excludes special districts and STAR.

The estimate combines county, Town of Eastchester, Village of Tuckahoe and Tuckahoe Union Free School District rates (2025 roll, 2025-26 school year, village fiscal year ending 2026), converted to market value. It leaves out special districts such as sewer and refuse and does not subtract STAR.

Two cautions. First, the Town of Eastchester's 2025 equalization rate was 0.88%, so assessed values are a tiny fraction of market value and individual assessments can be far off; always ask for the actual tax bill. Second, the village's adopted budget for fiscal year 2027 raises the village rate by 4.23%.

For comparison, that combined rate is close to New Rochelle's 2.4% and above unincorporated Eastchester's 2.0%. Because the median here is lower, the estimated dollar bill is among the lower ones in our series.

Check the school rates in the Westchester County 2025-26 school district tax rate table, and read our Westchester property tax guide for how STAR and grievances work.

What are the schools like in Tuckahoe?

Most of the village is served by the Tuckahoe Union Free School District, a small district with 3 schools: William E. Cottle School (elementary), Tuckahoe Middle School and Tuckahoe High School.

District lines do not match village lines exactly. The district also serves parts of unincorporated Eastchester, and some Tuckahoe village addresses fall in the Eastchester or Bronxville districts. Confirm the district for every address you consider, using the Tuckahoe UFSD website.

We do not have a Niche grade for this district in our data, so we are not quoting one. Visit the schools and ask about class sizes and programs. In a three-school district, children attend the same elementary, middle and high school, which many families value. Our guide to Westchester school districts covers how to compare districts.

How long is the commute from Tuckahoe to Manhattan?

From Tuckahoe or Crestwood stations, the Harlem Line reaches Grand Central in about 35–45 minutes. That is an approximate range from MTA weekday timetables (Oct 2026), covering express and local trains.

A monthly ticket to Grand Central costs $243.50 on the MTA Hudson and Harlem fare chart. Having two stations is a real advantage, since many buyers can walk to one of them. That range is similar to neighboring Bronxville's 30–45 minutes and a bit shorter at the top end than unincorporated Eastchester's 35–50 minutes, where most buyers drive to the train. Check the Harlem Line schedule for the trains you would use.

Who is Tuckahoe a good fit for?

Tuckahoe fits buyers who want a walkable village and a Harlem Line commute at one of the lower price points in southern Westchester.

• Good fit: first-time buyers leaving a city rental, downsizers who want a co-op or condo near the train, and families who like a small district.
• Trade-offs: the village is small, single-family houses are a smaller share of what sells, and school district lines need checking address by address.
• Watch: the small sample makes the Redfin median swing, so judge value on recent comparable sales for the exact home type.
• Ideal visit: take a weekday morning train from Tuckahoe or Crestwood, then walk the village at school pickup time to see traffic and parking.

Which towns near Tuckahoe should you also look at?
