If you are an agent in or around the bedroom counties of New York City (suburbs, Hudson Valley, Long Island, Fairfield County, CT) I am hiring both full and part-time agents. I offer ongoing mentorship, help with prospecting, training, and, oh yes, LEADS. Email me for details. I belong to the following MLS systems:

  • Westchester-Putnam (includes the Bronx)
  • Greater Hudson Valley (Rockland, Orange, Ulster, Sullivan)
  • MLS of Long Island (Nassau, Suffolk, Queens)
  • Fairfield and CT Statewide MLS (All of CT)
  • Mid Hudson (Dutchess)
  • I am open to joining REBNY or another local MLS for the right agent's needs. This could mean Brooklyn, Staten Island, or Greenwich. The Bronx MLS appears to be approaching obsolescence with the expansion of Westchester-Putnam.

If you are not an agent but in a related industry and would like a Scarsdale mailing address, I have an open desk available in a very nice office in Scarsdale. This is perfect if you do mortgages, survey, appraise, are an attorney and need a pit stop locale, or do commercial brokerage. The facility has parking and many other amenities. I am willing to rent the desk to an agent, but only under specific circumstances. It goes without saying that you have to be of top notch character to be considered for either opening.

Email me for details on either possibility.

Silly question, but what exactly is a "bedroom county"?

Similar to a "bedroom community", it is outlying areas of a large major metropolis

Westchester is hardly a "bedroom county." White Plains and New Rochelle in particular are destinations in their own right.  THey aren't Manhattan, but they are in some ways closer in character to Manhattan than parts of Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx.

Ruthmarie-

I don't see why you feel that way, as I coined the phrase myself. Bedroom communities are nearby commuter communities to a city. Westchester and the surrounding counties like Rockland and Putnam are  nearby commuting counties.

I see it as an apt term.

Bedroom communities imply that you go home only to eat and sleep.  There is PLENTY to do in Westchester - particularly lower Westchester.  There are bedroom communities within the county - but a city like White Plains that has a commuter population of close to 300,000 is not  a bedroom community. Further, when I take buyers to bedroom communities such as Mamaroneck or Scarsdale, they want to be able to "easy access to White Plains and New Rochelle for the nightlife." Some villages are bedroom communitites, but the cities of lower Westchester are not.

Ruthmarie:

Bedroom communities are suburbs. Bedroom counties, as an extension, are suburban counties. That is the conext of my posting, and I am referring to suburban counties.

From a Kansas State economist who sems to have originated the phrase:

A bedroom county is where more people live in the county than work in the county - the daily net flow of people coming into work is smaller than the net flow out.

Not exactly what I meant, but since the phrase never caught on from his use, I took license.

 From the dictionary:

Noun 1. bedroom community - a community where many commuters live suburb, suburban area, suburbia - a residential district located on the outskirts of a city

 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Bedroom community):

A commuter town is an urban community that is primarily residential, from which most of the workforce commute out to earn their livelihood. Many commuter towns act as suburbs of a nearby metropolis that workers travel to daily, and many suburbs are commuter towns. Commuter towns belong to the metropolitan area of a city, and a ring of commuter towns around an urban area is known as a commuter belt.

I really don't care what the esoteric characterization of Mamaroneck or Bronxville is in relation to White Plains or Yonkers. That is not the context of my posting.

I agree with the definition bedroom community.  But WHite  Plains and New Rochelle  and quite probably Yonkers are  CITIES not bedroom communities.  They have suburban sections, but even there many commute within the city/county to their jobs.  White Plains has a net influx every day. We have about 60,000 residents and we host clost to 300,000 commuters daily.  In other words there is a huge net flow IN to the city during the day.  Larger and larger portions of the population are working in the county and not commuting to NYC. Neither White Plains nor New Rochelle shut down at night either.  Although you can't yet get pizza at 2 AM we are getting close.  Portions of the county are bedroom communities, but with two vibrant cities with substantial night life and commuter populations to its name - I question calling all of Westchester a "bedroom county."  Your area is definitely a bedroom community, but the persepective at the Southern tip of the county is changing.

Ruthmarie-   I appreciate your scientific overview of the matter. I studied English, so it is probably natural that we'd interpret this differently. I don't see the need for scientific rigidity on a subject that is a generalization in nature.

For instance, if I go to your website, you appear to work for Nelson Vrooman GMAC realty, yet no firm exists. But rather than hold you to rigid standards, I figure that you are a busy person and you'll make your updates when you get the chance. The important thing is that you are a licensee who offers a service. It's like that.

=)
