New Castle is a 23-square-mile town in central Westchester County, comprising the hamlets of Chappaqua and Millwood. Chappaqua is the commercial and residential center — a walkable downtown along King Street with a direct Metro-North Harlem Line connection to Grand Central in about 47 minutes, surrounded by rolling wooded hills and large-lot single-family homes that have made this one of the most sought-after addresses in Westchester for several generations. Millwood, the quieter western hamlet, has a more rural character with its own shopping center, larger lots, and a direct connection to the Taconic State Parkway. Horace Greeley, founder of the New York Tribune, farmed 78 acres in New Castle beginning in 1853, and the town has been home to prominent residents ever since.

New Castle's large-lot properties on rolling terrain, its significant tree canopy, and its mix of older colonial and contemporary homes all create specific exterior maintenance demands — from gutter debris loads on wooded lots to the roofing and chimney needs of homes built across a wide range of eras, from early 20th century colonials to newer construction and luxury townhomes at Chappaqua Crossing.

New Castle’s rolling wooded terrain and larger lot sizes create exterior maintenance conditions different from the more compact suburban neighborhoods in southern Westchester. Dense overhead tree canopy throughout Chappaqua and Millwood means gutter debris loads are heavy, roof surfaces accumulate moss and algae faster on shaded elevations, and fallen branches from larger trees are a more common cause of roofing and siding damage
than in more open residential areas. The town’s topographic variation — rolling hills with significant grade changes — also means downspout routing and drainage need property-specific assessment rather than standard suburban assumptions.
New Castle’s housing stock spans a wide range of eras. Historic homes in the Old Chappaqua Historic District and along the established streets near downtown Chappaqua include early-20th-century colonials with period masonry chimneys and original roofline complexity. The broader residential areas are dominated by postwar and later colonials and contemporaries on large lots. Newer luxury townhomes at Chappaqua Crossing represent the most recent addition. Each era and style has different maintenance priorities.
