About Bedford
Bedford is the part of Westchester that never agreed to become a suburb. The Town of Bedford covers roughly forty square miles of hills, reservoir watershed and horse country, and the three hamlets inside it — Bedford Village, Bedford Hills and Katonah — are each distinct enough to trade separately. Bedford Village is the oldest and quietest of the three: a triangular green, a 1787 courthouse, and dry stone walls running along roads that were laid out for carriages. Four-acre zoning across much of the town has held the density down for a century, and the reservoir land the City of New York owns for its water supply cannot be built on at all. The result is a landscape that reads as rural at a forty-mile radius from Midtown.

Bedford is served by the

- 4-Year Graduation
- 83%
Bedford Central is geographically large and takes in Mount Kisco, Katonah and Bedford Hills alongside Bedford Village, so its district-wide figures describe a considerably broader population than the hamlet — including a four-year graduation rate lower than its immediate neighbours’.
Per-pupil expenditure is not published in a form we can verify, so we do not show a figure for it.

Getting to Bedford
- Metro-North
- Bedford is on Metro-North’s Harlem Line, not the LIRR, and Bedford Village has no station of its own — the stops are at Bedford Hills and Katonah, a few minutes’ drive north. Grand Central runs roughly seventy minutes. Almost everyone drives to the platform, so parking permits are part of the calculation here in a way they are not further south.
- By Car
- I-684 runs up the eastern edge of the town with the Saw Mill and the Taconic to the west; Midtown is about an hour and a quarter off-peak. Greenwich and the Merritt Parkway are twenty minutes east, which matters for the households commuting to Connecticut rather than the city.
