Sleepy Hollow is a charming Rivertown village that has it all. It is conveniently located 37 minutes by Metro North Rail Road from Mid-Town Manhattan. Located along the banks of the picturesque Hudson River there is lots of fun recreation including boating, swimming (there's a beach & boat club), golf (Sleepy Hollow Country Club), hiking (The Rockefeller Preserve, The Croton Aqueduct trail, the River Walk), shopping & excellent restaurants.
And of course there's the history! Almost everyone has either read "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" or seen the new Fox TV show loosely based on Washington Irving's tale set right here in scenic Sleepy Hollow. Well you can visit The Old Dutch Church, tour the Rockefeller estate Kykuit, visit Philipsburg Manor (a recreation of a working mill & farm from the 1700's).
There are endless possibilities. And for high end shopping The Westchester Mall is 15 minutes by car or you can train into Manhattan in 37 minutes.
As you can see even after 27 years of living there, I am still as enthusiastic as when my husband & I first "discovered" the area on a weekend drive from NYC.
Sleepy Hollow is truly a great place to live.
