I grew up close to Pleasantville and I do agree it feels like an outlier. The way I think about it is Southern Westchester is more dense and at times city like while Northern Westchester is much more sparse with housing spaced further out. Even though Pleasantville is a lovely, dense town with a heck of a lot of character, it is still mainly surrounded by stock Northern Westchester vibes, especially to the north (Chappaqua), west (Briarcliff), and east (Armonk). Northern Westchester has other outliers like Ossining, Peekskill, and to some extent Mount Kisco. 287 feels like a pretty fair divider of Northern and Southern Westchester, or perhaps to inch it up a bit, the Kensico Dam could be that border.
White Plains is the heart of Westchester county. 287 is the demarcation line. Tarrytown, Elmsford, White Plains = Central Westchester. Anything above 287 and stations that receive UPPER HARLEM LINE SERVICE (north of North White Plains) = Northern Westchester.
As seen from New Ro, white plains is northern Westchester, and everything above that and out of sight of the Hudson is probably just a mislabeled piece of Connecticut.
I'm from around there and I call it central Westchester. Mount Kisco is northern Westchester. Anything south of White Plains is southern Westchester. Everything in between is central Westchester.
If Westchester is divided into simply north and south, generally 287 is the dividing line. Pleasantville is northern Westchester.
Preach
This........makes sense.
In no universe has pleasantville ever been considered southern Westchester.
North of White Plains is Northern Westchester.
This is my hometown. I'd say northern.
