Tucked along the Hudson River in Southwest Westchester are the villages of Hastings-On-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. These Rivertowns along with Ardsley, offer the comfort of small-town life conveniently located a short distance from Manhattan. The majestic Hudson River paints a scenic backdrop as you travel from Hastings to Tarrytown. Like other mature New York suburbs, they have winding tree lined residential streets, homes of many vintages, excellent schools, abundant shopping and a convenient commute.

But unlike other suburbs, history plays an integral role in the Rivertowns. The past is always present here, and places like Lyndhurst, Sunnyside, and Philipsburg Manor transport visitors and villagers alike to another era; lodgings such as the Castle at Tarrytown, offer the guests a glimpse into the past in a luxurious, medieval setting.

Seniors play a vital role in the river villages. The Andrus Retirement Home, a residence for seniors, is located in Hastings. Programs such as the Busy Bees and the Senior Canteen involve the senior population in numerous social activities, lectures, health programs and trips.
