Armonk, New York

Armonk is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the town of North Castle, located in Westchester County, New York, United States.

Winter precipitation comes mainly in the form of coastal storms that bring rain, snow and wind to New England and the Mid-Atlantic.

[13] The event involves local volunteers with the proceeds from the show benefiting the North Castle Public Library and its Whippoorwill Hall performance auditorium.

One week before the Art Show, the Armonk Chamber of Commerce sponsors the "Jamie's 5K Run For Love" run/walk road race.

The Friends also sponsors the Armonk Players, a community theater group that stages two full productions and several readings each year at Whippoorwill Hall.

In addition, local restaurants set up tents to sell food and there are rides and midway games for children.

[17] A parade goes down Main Street onto Bedford Road, past the "Village Square" mentioned in the song "Frosty the Snowman" to Wampus Brook Park for a gala holiday lighting ceremony.

Steve Nelson, the song's lyricist, was a frequent visitor to Armonk after World War II from his home in nearby White Plains.

In 1950, he wrote the song's lyrics which he put to Walter E. Rollins' music; it was the same year that he was looking for land in Armonk on which to build his new home.

New condominiums, town houses, and larger single-family homes were constructed primarily north of the Armonk business district and just to the west.

Armonk real estate prices have increased substantially since the late 1990s, having peaked in the mid-2000s, and never returning to their pre-2000s rates despite the subprime mortgage crisis.

In a construction project, a real estate company purchased the long-standing Schultz's Cider Mill just south of Main Street and had it razed.

The company then constructed a premium gated community of 27 townhouses and homes (named "Cider Mill") in its place.

A former librarian at the town's middle school, Berman's campaign promise was to put a moratorium on new residential construction to be enacted during her term in office.

Armonk Square is a 3.5-acre development of shops, banking center, offices, one-bedroom apartments and food market.
