A riverfront bedroom community in Westchester County
Dobbs Ferry in Westchester County is a small, quaint village 30 to 40 minutes north of Manhattan by car. Located in the town of Greenburgh, Dobbs Ferry is popular with homebuyers who work and play in the city but want to come home to a house with room to roam. “The community's riverfront location is a distinguishing feature, setting Dobbs Ferry apart from other downstate New York communities," says Gia Young, a licensed real estate salesperson with Julie B. Fee Sotheby’s International. “Most often, people come here for the small-town ambiance and the proximity to NYC.”

Restaurants in Dobbs Ferry
Young, a resident of southern Hudson River villages for two decades, says the restaurants in Dobbs Ferry are top-notch. “The Cookery Italian gastropub, The Parlor woodfired pizzeria and Half Moon steak and seafood eatery offer a spectacular riverfront setting. These are perfect places to watch the sunset over the water.” The village’s half-mile-long pedestrian strip is at the intersection of Main and Cedar Streets.
