Banksville

Banksville is a historic community centered on North Street in northeastern Greenwich on the New York border.  It was named after Samuel Banks, who settled on the upper reaches of the Mianus River in the northeast comer of Greenwich in 1695.

Today, Conyers Farm is the home of many well-known residents who can afford its magnificent ten-acre lots. It is also the locale for the Greenwich Polo Club, where many town residents go in the summer to enjoy the polo games on a Sunday afternoon.

Banksville’s small business center near the New York State line is reminiscent of a simpler time. Many of its residents refer to Banksville as the land that time has forgotten.

The Connecticut-New York state border runs along Banksville Avenue and through Banksville’s small commercial center.  On the New York side, Banksville is a hamlet in the town of North Castle.

Nestled on the border of Greenwich and Bedford, NY is the Grand Slam Tennis Club.  It is one of two tennis facilities owned by tennis icon Ivan Lendl.  It features five well-maintained indoor courts, five outdoor courts Har-Tru (soft) courts, and three indoor Har-Tru courts for the winter season.
