Get to know Dobbs Ferry

Dobbs Ferry is a picture-perfect riverside village, leafy and pretty, and made up of tree-lined residential neighborhoods, a charming downtown, and plenty of open green space. Residents can wander in the 76-acre Juhring Nature Preserve or walk along the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail, a 26.5-mile Westchester pathway that winds through the center of town. The quaint downtown is a mix of the old and new, with long-time local favorite eateries like Sam’s Italian Restaurant, which has been serving families since 1952, alongside newer eateries that serve locavore cuisine, craft cocktails, and Michelin-guide recommended meals. There’s also strong creative community in Dobbs Ferry, and many artists can be found at the Hudson River Landing, a former brewery that was transformed into co-working spaces, artist studios, and entrepreneurial offices. Midtown Manhattan is about 30 minutes away by train, but for many residents, everything you could want is right here in town.

Living in Westchester

Don’t call it upstate. This cosmopolitan county north of New York City is a collective of towns, hamlets and mid-sized cities that put virtually every lifestyle imaginable within an hour’s commute of Manhattan. It’s due north of the Bronx, next door to Connecticut, and the gateway to the Hudson Valley. Metro-North’s Harlem, Hudson and New Haven lines make for speedy service into Grand Central — an express ride from many down-county communities runs comparable to the F train from South Brooklyn, with a much sunnier view. Lower Westchester’s villages prioritize convenience, while the verdant horse country to the north is a favored destination for those looking to fade away in privacy. The Hudson and Long Island Sound form its two coasts, conspiring with an inland chain of lakes and reservoirs for unbeatable boating, fishing and other recreational endeavors. Chain stores are noticeably absent from many Main Streets, which run chockablock with character-filled indie shops.
