How can I find homes that are for sale or rent in Westchester?
You can start with Web sites that list available real estate in Westchester County. The Westchester Board of Realtors offers a link to a database of available homes, condominiums and co-operatives. The county newspaper, The Journal News, offers classified listings too. You can access the national database of available rental apartments, where you'll find listing of apartments, condominiums and town homes. This site offers free e-mail alerts for new availabilities and contains up to six photographs for each listing. The Penny Saver offers listings online as well as through their free publication. Most of these are apartments being offered by the owner of the property without broker representation. Many apartments listed are located in homes and are commonly called “accessory apartments."
