Chappaqua is a hamlet and census-designated place in the Town of New Castle, in northern Westchester County, New York. It is not its own town. The hamlet is the name of the community and its center; the municipal government that handles zoning, permitting, and local services is the Town of New Castle. When an address is described as Chappaqua, the municipality to verify with is New Castle.
Chappaqua has a station on the Metro-North Harlem Line. For roads, NY-120 and NY-117 serve the area, with the Saw Mill River Parkway and nearby I-684 as regional context. We do not publish train times or commute estimates; check current Metro-North schedules and your own route for anything time-sensitive.
Reader's Digest was historically headquartered in Chappaqua, and the property is referenced locally as a historic corporate campus. The company has since left, so we treat this as history rather than a current employer.
Housing here ranges from older stock in and around the hamlet center to larger properties on New Castle lots. These are types, not guarantees: lot sizes vary, and zoning, setbacks, and permitted use should be confirmed directly with the Town of New Castle. For what is actually available now, look at live listings or ask our team.
The Chappaqua Central School District is the district commonly referenced for the hamlet. District boundaries do not always follow hamlet lines, so confirm assignment for a specific address with the district directly. We do not rate schools or steer buyers.
