Greenville, commonly known as Edgemont, is a census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Greenburgh in Westchester County, New York, United States. The population was 9,394 at the 2020 census. Most of its residents refer to the area as Edgemont, which is also the name of its school district.
It is an inner suburb of New York City, lying 22 miles (35 km) north of Columbus Circle. It is a partial bedroom community, with some of its residents working in Midtown Manhattan. Other workplaces of Greenville residents are in the offices and factories of White Plains, Yonkers, The Bronx, Rockland County, New York or Stamford, Connecticut, as well as many businesses and hospitals in southern Westchester County. The hamlet was originally ethnic Jewish and Italian but is now ethnically diverse. Its main street is Central Park Avenue. It's populated with strip malls, gas stations and outlet stores and caters mainly to shoppers from Yonkers and The Bronx.
The limits of the CDP are essentially defined by the areas served by the Edgemont Union Free School District and the Greenville Fire Department, whose areas slightly differ.
Greenville was originally a development designed by different architects for summer homes for Manhattanites. With its antique colonial homes and outstanding schools, it is an option for those seeking to move from New York City. Metro-North trains are accessible via the Scarsdale and Hartsdale train stations, and they run 25–55 minutes to Grand Central Terminal, depending on if one has an express or local train.
In March 2018, Bloomberg ranked Greenville as the 22nd wealthiest place in the United States, and the third wealthiest in New York.




Postal address


Greenville comprises two ZIP codes: 10583 (Scarsdale, New York) and 10530 (Hartsdale, New York). Both ZIP codes encompass significant areas outside of Greenville as well. While the bulk of Greenville lies within the Scarsdale zip code, none of Greenville is part of the village of Scarsdale. According to a local real estate broker, "Edgemont is smaller and more intimate than Scarsdale". Essentially, Greenville is an unincorporated CDP within Greenburgh, New York, but with a Scarsdale, New York or Hartsdale, New York mailing address depending on where in the CDP someone is.




Schools


Greenville is known for its public schools, served by the Edgemont Union Free School District. This district consists of three schools: Edgemont Junior/Senior High School, Greenville Elementary School, and Seely Place Elementary School. Each elementary school has students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Edgemont Junior/Senior High School, which sits on an 80-acre (320,000 m2) campus, contains students from grades 7 through 12.
In the U.S. News & World Report 2018 ranking of public schools, Edgemont was ranked 14th in New York State and 87th nationwide. In Newsweek magazine's 2007 ranking of public high schools, Edgemont was ranked first in Westchester County and 41st nationwide. Similarly, in Newsweek's 2006 public high school listings, Edgemont was ranked second in Westchester County and 56th nationwide. The magazine's 2005 listings ranked Edgemont first in Westchester County and 26th in the nation. Similarly, in Westchester Magazine's 2005 rankings of public schools (the most recent time the magazine ranked schools on any criteria other than income), Edgemont was ranked first among 44 public schools in the county. In 1999, U.S. News & World Report named Edgemont as one of its "examples of excellence" for a suburban public school.




Incorporation


In 2016, a group of residents began circulating a petition to incorporate the Greenville Fire District into the Village of Edgemont and developed a website informing residents of the impacts and opportunities of such a change. In February 2017, it was filed with the Town for certification so that the residents may vote in a referendum. Town Supervisor Paul Feiner rejected the petition, but the petitioners sued the Town and the State Supreme Court overturned the Supervisor's decision and ordered the election. The Supervisor appealed the State Supreme Court's decision.

Geography


Greenville is located at 40°59′56″N 73°49′13″W (40.998977, -73.820147), in the southeastern corner of the town of Greenburgh.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.649 square miles (6.86 km2), of which 2.615 square miles (6.77 km2) is land and 0.088 square kilometres (0.034 sq mi), or 1.34% is water.




Transportation


The main highway to Edgemont is the Sprain Brook Parkway, which is accessed at the Jackson Avenue exit at the Edgemont-Yonkers border. The parkway is the western border of Edgemont. Some residents prefer to utilize the Bronx River Parkway, located along the eastern border of Edgemont. The main north–south road through Edgemont is Central Park Avenue, often referred to as Central Avenue by residents. Central Avenue is part of New York State Route 100. This road extends from Yonkers in the south to Somers in the north, by way of White Plains. There are four major east–west roads through Edgemont, notably Jackson Avenue, Ardsley Road, Mount Joy Avenue, and Underhill/Old Army Road. Ardsley Road experiences many backups through Edgemont into the village of Scarsdale, due to it being the primary east–west road between the eastern and western reaches of Westchester County in the 12-mile (19 km) gap between Interstate 287 and the Cross County Parkway.
Many residents commute to New York City on the Metro-North Railroad, using either the Scarsdale or Hartsdale station. Some residents can walk or take the Bee-Line Bus #65 to Scarsdale station, although parking tends to be more readily available at the Hartsdale station. Central Avenue also has an express bus running to 5th Avenue in Manhattan, but this takes considerably longer than the Metro-North due to traffic on the Major Deegan Expressway. Bee Line Bus route 20/21 runs from the NYC subway in the Bronx north to White Plains, and route 66 runs across Ardsley Road from the village of Dobbs Ferry to the city of New Rochelle.
