About Residence
Park
Residence Park, located between North Avenue and Webster Avenue, is a historic and residential New Rochelle neighborhood with grand early-20th-century homes and leafy, curving streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Avenue corridor near Iona University, where coffee counters, small eateries, and campus-day foot traffic set a steady rhythm. Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival facades, stone walls, and mature trees give the blocks a composed, architectural feel. The New Rochelle Public Library anchors nearby cultural life with author talks and exhibitions. New Rochelle Council on the Arts adds a local gallery-and-events pulse. For a classic night out, the historic New Rochelle Opera House keeps live performance on the calendar.
