Scarsdale NY Housing History -
The Twenties saw a building boom that
tripled the population by the end of
the decade to 9,690. The Bronx River
Parkway, the first parkway in the
country, was opened in 1924. New
stores and banks opened on East
Parkway and Popham Roads. Fox Meadow
and Crane-Berkley were developed.
Heathcote's "Five Corners" thrived,
although the New York, Westchester and
Boston Railroad, around which it had
been built, did not survive. Fox
Meadow Elementary School was built in
1928. Many of the Tudor-style houses
and business fronts date from this
period. In 1922 the Village Board
adopted a Village-wide zoning plan,
the first zoning law passed in New
York State by a suburban community.
Court challenges to the code have been
met successfully, and Scarsdale has
remained primarily a residential
community of single-family detached
houses.
Another building boom occurred after
World War II. The area that
experienced the greatest development
was Quaker Ridge, which derived its
name from its early Quaker settlers.
Quaker Ridge Elementary School opened
in 1947, Heathcote in 1953 and the
Junior High School (now the Middle
School) in 1956. The Village and
School Districts purchased land for
both public use and open space. Major
strides in community recreation
included public tennis and paddle
courts, public day camps, a swimming
pool complex and a vast array of
programs. Now the Village appears to
have entered a new era of relative
population stability as a result of
the almost complete development of its
privately owned land. Scardale's 1990
population was approximately 17,000.
