Transportation

Getting around as a pedestrian is moderately practical for property owners in Mount Kisco; many common errands can be run without needing to resort to a car, and various businesses are reasonably close at hand. In contrast, it is difficult to commute by bike in this town since there is a significant amount of hills, and the cycling network is not very comprehensive. The preferred method to move around in this town is often a car. Finding a parking spot is quite easy. On the other hand, public transit users may experience limited choices in Mount Kisco due to the service's low frequency. Thankfully, train stations, including the Mt Kisco on the Harlem, are not very far-removed from the greater part of homes in the town.
