Feb. 7, 2018: On January 30, 2018, Natasha Nordahl was unanimously nominated at the Democratic Caucus meeting as a candidate for justice of the Bronxville Village Court in the upcoming March 20, 2018, election.
Ms. Nordahl, a native of Brooklyn Heights, New York, has resided in Bronxville since 2002 with her husband, Stephen, and their three sons, Henry (18), Charles (15), and Oliver (12). Ms. Nordahl is a graduate of Duke University and Brooklyn Law School. She has over 20 years of experience litigating civil defense and real estate matters in the New York State and federal courts, including trials and mediation. For the previous eighteen years, she has been Of Counsel at the law firm Lester Schwab Katz & Dwyer, LLP.
Ms. Nordahl has served as the secretary of the Friends of the Bronxville Public Library and of the Bronxville Middle School Council and is a member of the Packer Collegiate Institute Alumni Advisory Board.

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
