Ardsley
Tight Knit Community
About the area
The only Rivertown not actually located on the river, Ardsley boasts a terrifically central location, just down the road from the Hudson River, Scarsdale, and all major highways. A hyper-local, unpretentious, tight-knit community tucked between the hustle and bustle of much larger towns with stellar sports, including high school state championship teams. Ardsley offers a more affordable and diverse housing stock relative to its neighbors, with a small but complete business district all its own.

Hastings-on-Hudson
Eco-conscious and communal
About the area
Hastings, named by a British settler after the cliff-top town in England, consists of three huge hills with winding residential roads lined with trees and a valley that holds the village's apartments, quaint shops, and restaurants. Meander down the hills and toward the waterfront for views of the majestic New Jersey Palisades across the Hudson River.

Dobbs Ferry
A Picturesque Riverfront Town
About the area
Named after the ferry service that carried residents across the Hudson River during the late 1800s, this bustling Westchester river town sprouted as an encampment during the Revolutionary War. Just over 11,000 people live in the 2.4- square-mile village. Dobbs Ferry beckons buyers who crave a more laidback lifestyle just outside New York City. Residents from all walks of life enjoy the village's lush parks, tree-lined trails, and delectable dining. The walkable village's two main drags are lined with mom-and-pop shops and family-run restaurants. You will also find a large chain drugstore and supermarket, and a few minutes' drive away-a newly constructed shopping center with national fast-casual chain restaurants and an upscale LOOK cinema.

Irvington
A piece of living history on the Hudson
Irvington's historical significance can be traced back to its many famous residents-Louis Comfort Tiffany (the famous glassmaker), Madam C.J. Walker (the first African-American millionaire), and John Jacob Astor III (patriarch of the British line of the family), to name a few. Just 20 miles from New York City, and hugging the Hudson River, this verdant village is known for its lovingly preserved 19th- century architecture and natural landscapes.
