Larchmont is a coastal village in Westchester County that blends scenic charm, deep historical roots, and a long-standing reputation for refined suburban living. Originally inhabited by the Siwanoy people and later developed as part of a colonial land purchase in the 1600s, the area gained prominence in the late 19th century as a summer retreat for affluent New Yorkers, especially after the New York & New Haven Railroad improved access to the city. The village's name itself reflects its distinctive character, derived from fast-growing larch trees planted by Peter Jay Munro, nephew of U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Jay. 

Today, Larchmont remains a highly desirable residential enclave with historic cottages, vibrant community events like the Larchmont Yacht Club’s Race Week, and a strong French-American cultural presence. Living at Allen places residents within reach of this storied neighborhood, where heritage, elegance, and coastal beauty come together effortlessly.
