Harbor Heights is a neighborhood of the Mamaroneck Village bordered by an arc of the Mamaroneck River on the north and east, Saxon Woods Park on the west and the New England Thruway on the south.
[edit] History
Originally known as the Knolls, Harbor Heights was first developed by Harry Rich Mooney in the 1920s and anchored by homes on Knollwood Avenue as the premiere showcase for his real estate development. Mr. Mooney built a varied selection of modest homes including those in the Tudor Revival and French Provincial styles that were a hallmark of southern Westchester design of the early 20th century.
Mr. Mooney promoted the Knolls as a wholesome and convenient alternative to living in New York City. He advertised The Knolls in a nominal publication called Mooney's Megaphone in the New York Herald Tribune. Once Knollwood Avenue was established, other developers built homes east (across Mamaroneck Avenue) to the Mamaroneck River and the name Harbor Heights is inclusive of this area.
