North Ossining offers a spacious and leafy alternative to the larger, neighboring village of Ossining. The community, part of the larger Town of Ossining, blends hillside residential communities with the occasional park and small business. Though the neighborhoods’s houses may be more expensive than those in the village, taxes are lower and yards tend to be bigger.
Occupying the foothills of the Taconic Mountains, North Ossining’s streets tend to be hilly and heavily forested.

The town of Ossining gives way to the Hudson Highlands at North Ossining’s northern edge. Cedar Lane Town Park includes a pond for fishing, a community garden, a dog park and space for hiking. Preserved wildflowers surround visitors to the Sunny Ridge Preserve as they venture down the occasional boardwalk and unmarked trail and immerse themselves in thick forest. Trails like the Briarcliff-Peekskill Trailway connect North Ossining to the rest of the Hudson Valley. The Hudson Hills Golf Course carries on the legacy of the Rising Sun Golf & Country Club, founded in 1936 as Westchester County’s first Black-owned and operated country club. Though that club went bankrupt in 1939 and its land was bought by IBM, the land was returned to the county in 2004 and transformed into a newer golf course that’s open to the public. Ryder Park and the Veterans Memorial Park each put three baseball fields in the middle of residential sections of North Ossining.
Though most of the town of Ossining’s restaurants and shops are concentrated in the village, North Ossining has its own share of small businesses. Along State Road, Terra Rustica Ristorante Italiano serves Italian fine dining in a white-tablecloth setting. Flames Bar and Grill has a similar feel, specializing in upmarket fare like steak and lobster. Maya Riviera Bar & Restaurant includes a bar, a lounge and outdoor seating where diners can feast on Mexican culinary classics. Commuters might stop at Briarcliff Bagels & More for coffee and a breakfast sandwich, while grocery runs often take shoppers to Green’s Natural Foods, the Four Seasons Marketplace or John’s Grocery.
Students can start at Park School for kindergarten and Brookside School for grades 1-2; both schools receive B-plus ratings from Niche.

The B-plus-rated Ossining High School offers a three-year science research program that culminates with local and national science competitions, and it’s also known for its strong music education extracurriculars.
New York City-bound commuters can drive down several highways, including the Saw Mill Parkway, to access Midtown Manhattan within a 36-mile journey.
