Building decks in Somers
Somers is a town in northern Westchester with the Amawalk Reservoir in its north and the Muscoot and Croton river valleys reshaped by the reservoir system between 1890 and 1910. Lake Lincolndale, Lake Purdy and Lake Shenorock began as summer communities in the 1920s.
Somers mixes single-family homes with townhouse communities such as Heritage Hills. If you live in a townhouse or condo community, your association likely has rules on deck size, materials and colors, so get approval first. Lakeside homes may face wetland setbacks.
