Greenburgh

Greenburgh NY is a fantastic place to live and visit. A city in Hudson River-based Westchester NY, it contains many popular villages like Tarrytown, Irvington and Dobbs Ferry, which offer plenty of entertainment attractions, restaurants, and shopping for the enjoyment of both visitors and residents alike.

While homes are a bit expensive at $769,000 and up, it’s still affordable for the growing middle class that resides here, and continues to allure more new residents every year. It’s famous for historic sites like Lyndhurst, a colonial-era style mansion that overlooks the Hudson River and which is now a museum open to the public, and Irvington is home to its namesake Washington Irving’s lovely mansion known as “Sunnyside”. There’s also the Greenburgh Nature Center, where people can learn all about Greenburgh (and Westchester’s) flora and fauna (it’s great for kids, teens and adults alike, as there’s programs to satisfy all). Elmsford offers the Greenburgh Multiplex, National Amusements, Inc. (an arcade that hosts lazer tag, among other things, and is a great place for parties), and an indoor ice skating rink, where you can watch ice hockey tournaments and skate indoors year round.

There’s great shops in Dobbs Ferry like a Musik store, Affordables consignment, and a local Stop & Shop; in Tarrytown, there’s a CVS and a 7-11, and other stores are common---and unique---stores are located throughout Greenburgh as well.

Transportation is made easy from the Saw Mill River and Sprain Brook Parkways. Interstate 87 also runs through Greenburgh as well as Rts 9A, 100 and 119. Schools here are excellent (the kids even call you “Miss”), and the population is very diverse, which makes things even more interesting. It’s an area steeped in Revoluationary War history and pre-colonial times, as the area was used mainly for farmland.

Come to Greenburgh and you’re sure to not soon forget your experience, and you most definitely won’t regret it---I’ll bet you’ll return for years to come!
