Rochelle Heights is a residential area in the city of New Rochelle, in Westchester County, New York. The area is bordered by the City Park area on the east, Interstate 95 on the south, and Rochelle Park on the west.

History

Rochelle Heights was established starting in 1905 on the former estate of George G. Sickles, a Wall Street financier. Plans were developed by New York City architects Mann, MacNellie and Lindeberg, including lots and homes in a wide range of sizes.[1] 

In its early years, the area proved attractive to professional artists and illustrators including Edwin Windsor Kemble, the original illustrator of the Mark Twain book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.[2]
