A scenic and historic village with haunting allure on the Hudson River
Sitting on the Hudson River, just above the Mario Cuomo Bridge, Sleepy Hollow Village keeps 11,000 residents. But while this is a small community in many respects, there’s plenty of open space to roam across. Go northeast, and there are nature preserves. Go southwest, and there are waterfront promenades. Residents also find connection to a world of adventure through historic locations, regular events, walkable retail strips and a rail station on the Hudson Line. “We have close proximity to New York City with trains, but we’re in the country,” says Phyllis Lerner, a local resident and realtor with Corcoran Legends Realty.
Formerly a Dutch mill town, today the local economy is sustained by small businesses and tourism. Fall brings the most tourists, thanks to the town being synonymous with Washington Irving’s 1820 ghost story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Roughly 30,000 people showed up for a street fair in October 2024. The town is also frequently chosen by television and movie crews as a site for filming.
Sleepy Hollow Village, New York is home to the legendary tale of The Headless Horseman.
Sleepy Hollow Village sits at the foot of the Mario Cuomo Bridge which crosses the Hudson River connecting Westchester County to Rockland County.

Victorian charm mixed with luxury waterfront condos
Much of the town features a gridded layout. On the south side, streets feed into Beekman Avenue, one of the downtown drags. The north side is bounded by nature preserves and Broadway Avenue, the town’s other main thoroughfare. It’s not uncommon to see homes built from 1850s to 1900. Victorian-era charm is a strong suit for Sleepy Hollow Village. Closer to the downtown core, yards are substituted for sidewalks. There’s an assortment of homes, some with sharp gabled roofs and others that are flat-topped, rectangular and more like rowhouses. The northern part of town feels more classically suburban with ranch-style homes on grassy lots with mature shade trees. Luxury waterfront condo developments are the newcomers, like The Edge on Hudson, built at a former General Motors complex. “Development on the riverfront keeps expanding,” says Lerner. “It will be a whole world once it’s done.” The median price is $700,000, more than the national median.
The Edge-on-Hudson offers stunning views, luxury living and a wonderful community in Sleepy Hollow Village.

State parks and historic haunts to wander through
Rockefeller State Park Preserve is a popular place for birders and hikers, thanks to its extensive wooded trails and designation by the Audubon Society as an Important Bird Area. But there are more traditional parks closer to downtown, like Douglas Park, where the annual egg hunt and Haunted Hayride are held in spring and fall, respectively. There’s also a playground and a walking trail. Ball fields and athletic courts are found at Devries Park. For waterfront excursions, Kingsland Point Park is the site of the Tarrytown Lighthouse and a promenade. Historic places to wander include Old Dutch Church, Phillipsburg Manor and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where Irving, Andrew Carnegie, Walter Chrysler and William Rockefeller are buried.
All around Sleepy Hollow Village the town will remind you of its haunting folklore.
Sleepy Hollow Village is home to the Old Dutch Church mentioned in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Shopping and dining along Beekman Avenue and in Tarrytown
Beekman Avenue is a reliable strip when it comes to dining. Plenty of pizza places, Mexican spots and modern pubs line the way. Beekman extends to the river, where more conveniences are going in. “Right now, they’re building a supermarket,” says Lerner. The much-needed grocery store, part of the DeCicco & Sons chain, is expected to open in early 2025. There’s a farmers market in Patriot Park every Saturday from May to October. But further inland, Beekman intersects with Broadway, which leads south to downtown Tarrytown. Destination restaurants include Goosefeather, which serves Chinese fusion cuisine in an 1840s mansion. Mint is where diners can sample gourmet Moroccan dishes alongside a market full of Mediterranean goods. A mile further south along Broadway leads to the Harvest Field Market grocery store.
