OverviewPicturesque Tarrytown, meaning Wheat Town in Dutch, was founded around 1650 by Dutch settlers and is nestled within the wooded hills above the banks of the mighty Hudson River. It's most dominating landmark is the Tappan Zee Bridge which connects the New York Thruway between Tarrytown and Nyack. The Village of Tarrytown blends the quaint charm of a historic river village with the hustle and bustle of a popular downtown area complete with thriving retail businesses, varied dining opportunities and interesting antique stores. Few Hudson Valley regions offer the variety of hotels, shops and restaurants that Tarrytown possesses. Furthermore there are also a number of very beautiful historic sites to see, such as the Gothic Revival Mansion Lyndhurst, Washington Irving's Sunnyside and...

The River towns of Westchester NY run along the eastern side of the Hudson River.  The area being covered is largely in the town of Greenburgh and includes the villages of Hastings-on-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley, Irvington, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.  Sleepy Hollow is actually located in the town of Mt. Pleasant, but Sleepy Hollow shares the 10591 zip code and a school system with the village of Tarrytown.  The Westchester to NYC commute is extremely easy from these locations.  Each village boasts an Metro North Westchester train station with a commuting time of less than 45 minutes to Grand Central Station.   The area is serviced by Metro North’s Hudson line. The fact that these are commutable villages with walkable neighborhoods, makes these areas very desirable for New Yorkers lo...

Waiting for the market to bottom out! No one, and I mean no one, can predict exactly where the market is going to be in a few months, next year, or further down the road, so trying to time your home purchase with the bottom of the market is pretty much futile. Generally there is really no bad or good time to buy if you are buying for the right reasons. If you're financially and emotionally ready to be a homeowner, it's always a good time to buy. Just think: all the time you spend on figuring out when to purchase a home, you could have been building equity, getting tax deductions and enjoying the many other benefits of home ownership! Buying a short sale, foreclosure or fixer-upper without doing your homework! Some home buyers are so set on finding a bargain, and many times they overlook...

The river towns comprise the towns/villages in Westchester that are located along the Hudson River.  This blog covers the lower Westchester region primarily in the town of Greenburgh.  Sleepy Hollow is included since it shares a school district with Tarrytown.   Initially I ran these statistics on Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow, but the sales volume was too low to create reliable statistics. In general, prices in the river towns such as Tarrytown NY showed some signs of stabilization in the river towns. Certainly the area has been badly beaten up over the past few years, so it was good to see a slowdown in declining prices. Cooperatives: The pricing for cooperatives was dicey because during the 4th quarter there were practically no 2BR sales.  This skewed the price point dramatically  dow...

Westchester residents enjoy some of the highest energy costs in the nation.  If you heat your home with home heating oil - you are well aware of the pain. But even home owners who use natural gas are getting hit.  ConEd has some of the highest service costs nationally - so everyone feels the heat - no pun intended. On Wednesday, Feb 3 at 7 PM, the Tarrytown Environmental Advisory Council will be hosting an event "Stay Warm, Save Money" at the Silver Tips Tea Room on 3 North Broadway in Tarrytown NY. Enjoy the Tea and Nibbles while learning how to save energy and money.  Included are cheap tricks as well as information on government subsidies. I could definitely use some help in this department. My heating costs have been steadily escalating.  So I plan to stop by and learn.   For more i...

  Over the past couple of years, I’ve written several blogs about local businesses.  One of my favorite haunts has been Coffee Labs of Tarrytown NY.  Coffee Labs was established in  2002 and for seven years has roasted and served wonderful coffee drinks and freshly roasted coffee to brew at home.  Coffee Labs was named for the owner’s chocolate Labrador Retrievers. During tht time, Mike and Alicia have established Coffee Labs as a  eco-friendly and  pet-friendly coffee shop.  Since they don’t prepare food on-site, they had an arrangement with the health department that allowed patrons to bring their dogs into the shop.  The dogs had to be properly leashed and be well-behaved.  I even wrote a blog about how Jade and I often spent mornings at Coffee Labs while I completed correspondence a...

This is the first time I’m including several “River Towns” of lower Westchseter in one report.   The reason for this is that because of low sales volume in each individual village, it is difficult to nail down market trends.  The small numbers produce wild gyrations that are often the result of one or two sales at the high or low end of the spectrum.   Including villages that have similar price ranges, commutes and tax structures in one report creates a  more accurate picture of the area. The River Towns included in these stats are in the lower portion of “Area 3″,  including Hastings-on-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley, Irvington and Tarrytown (which are all part of the town of Greenburgh.) Also included is Sleepy Hollow – which shares a school system with Tarrytown.  Sleepy Hollow is loc...

  Coffee Labs of Tarrytown NY -  A place to enjoy a great cup of coffee - with your best canine friend! I confess that I have a coffee habit.  It’s easy to point fingers at my 1/4 Spanish/Cuban heritage - but let’s face it - I’m addicted.  This is particularly true of really fine coffee.  And Coffee Labs offers some of the best blends there are.  Once you’ve tried it, there really is no going back. Sometimes  I go to Coffee Labs in the morning with Jade - my mellow Siberian Husky.  For those of you who have read the antics of my two White Siberian Huskies,  you know that I hav two females named Jade and Tundra.  Tundra is my wild child and Jade is as relaxed and mellow as Tundra is exuberant.  So Jade gets to accompany me to the coffee shop where I get a great cup of coffee, pull up a t...
