With its picturesque riverfront and a slew of hip establishments, Dobbs Ferry is both quaint and happening, beckoning buyers who crave a sophisticated yet laid back lifestyle just 20 miles north of midtown Manhattan.
Dobbs Ferry is an ideal mix of small-town charm with suburban convenience, known for its stunning river views, tree-lined trails and one-of-a-kind restaurants. Whether indulging in the whole suckling pig dinner at Italian gastropub The Cookery, a bourbon cocktail with sage-infused maple at Harper’s, or a farm-to-taco brunch at Tomatillo, nothing beats a post restaurant stroll while soaking up the beauty of the Lower Hudson Valley.
The Dobbs Ferry vibe is friendly, laidback and artsy. Locals love to be outside—favorite outdoor activities include strolling the village’s walkable main drags lined with mom-and-pop shops, climbing the playgrounds along the Hudson River, or hitting the sports fields and swimming pools at Memorial and Gould Park. Perhaps most notable is Dobbs Ferry’ setting along the National Historic Landmark Old Croton Aqueduct State Historic Park, with gorgeous trails for walking, running, and even horseback riding, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.
Dobbs Ferry also boasts a burgeoning arts scene. Hudson River Landing, a 100-year-old waterfront building that once housed Anchor Brewing Company, has been gradually rented out to local artists and is now a prime stop on the area’s RiverArts Studio Tour. There are also multiple arts spaces which allow kids to create with wild abandon.
