It is located on the Connecticut border of Westchester County, adjacent to New Canaan, about 18 miles northeast of White Plains, 40 miles from mid-town Manhattan. Pound Ridge's population is 4,450. An area of country characterized by lushly wooded hills, combined with rugged cliffs and rock outcroppings, Pound Ridge offers a unique setting for elegant country life: antique colonials, historically significant and beautifully restored, are prominently dotted along the winding lanes in serene compatibility with spectacular modern contemporaries, soaring above on high cliffs...or tucked away in total seclusion. A community with pride and privacy...for those who enjoy the involvement of small town life...or the peacefulness of a country retreat.
