A riverside community in Cortlandt, New York
Croton-on-Hudson, called Croton by locals, is a haven for artists and outdoor enthusiasts that’s forty minutes from New York by train. "It's a highly creative community," says Valerie Nolan, a recreation assistant with the Croton Recreation and Parks Department. "There are a lot of people who work in the arts in New York and use the train to commute." Marc Cheshire, the Croton Village historian, attributes the town's comfortable atmosphere to its history. "Croton was settled by working-class immigrants who built the Croton Dam, and historically, artists, businesspeople, college professors and journalists have had summer homes in the village." That tradition extends into today. "You might find the descendent of a dam worker living next to a writer for The New York Times," says Cheshire. "It's that combination of people that creates the social atmosphere in Croton."

Homes on the river
Croton's natural landscape is home to a diverse mix of housing styles. Down the street from the columned porticos of colonial homes, asymmetrical storybook-style houses mix brick, siding, and wood materials in their construction. Tudor and Colonial homes are the norm in the heart of the village, and modern-style homes overlook the area from nearby hilltops. Homes range in price from $500,000 to $800,000. Some homes with riverfront views and 1-plus acres of land sell for around $4 million. Homebuyers should know that the area scores a 2 out of 10 on the CAP Crime Index, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Life happens at the park and on the Hudson
The village is often buzzing with activity. The ring of bicycle bells sound along the streets, and soccer balls thump in the grass at Croton Landing Park, one of the village's riverside green spaces. Croton is known for its river views and wooded landscape. "Croton has incredible natural beauty," says Nolan. Croton Point Park is one of the village's most popular outdoor areas. This 500-acre expanse of land stretches out like a curved finger into the Hudson River, with plenty of space to camp and relax along the waterfront. "We're a community of people who like to do things," Nolan says. The Hudson River is a launching point for the Croton Yacht Club, which has a dock along the river. Hudson National Golf Club is about two miles from the area, and has an 18-hole course and a clubhouse with a bar and grill.
