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... 08/18/2009

  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... 07/05/2009

Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow have been in the midst of a buyer’s market for some time. This has been particularly true of the single-family home market in the area. The higher tax rates that some of the river towns deal with put this particular market into bearish mode rather early in the correction when compared to other areas of Westchester. One of the symptoms of a buyer’s market is low volume. Volume was way down on the cooperative market. So much so that there weren’t enough sales to run pricing statistics with any accuracy - which is why they are omitted. Condo prices and volume were down significantly when compared to the previous year. But single family homes that have been really beaten down in the last few quarters - had a volume consistent with 2007 levels - significantly dow... 03/04/2009

This sought after Hudson River Village offers a number of good housing options ranging from co-ops in the high 100's, through condos starting in the low 200's to single family homes ranging from the mid 500's to well over a million. The local real estate market is echoing the national trends of lower prices and slower sales albeit not a as severe. Properties priced correctly and in good condition are still selling near asking.  ZIP Code: 10591Location Characteristics: Tarrytown is a bustling and popular Hudson River village with a good selection of housing offerings.

Friday was a very busy day for me. I had tried to attend the Annual Pet Parade last year and work got in the way...and I almost had to bypass it this year as well. But I was able to work out a very short and fashionably late attendance and was glad I did. The parade begins on Route 9 and extends down Main Street. Animal rescue and, pet products, and anything to do with pets in general was out in force. There were “Pooch Games” sponsored by Bark & Meow. Greyhound rescue was out in force with dogs that are up for adoption. Best Friends (Doggie Day Care) made their presence known by having a street booth. I was only able to stay a short while and take a few pictures (not my best while holding Jade and Tundra on leashes.) Third Friday’s are fun for everyone - with specials all along the rou... 06/21/2008

Recently, I wrote a series of blogs about Sleepy Hollow. One was about the Sleepy Hollow portion of the River Walk, which is a very ambitious plan to create a long linear park where one could literally walk along the Hudson River from the Putnam County border all the way to the border of the Bronx. I had several photos of the River Walk from Sleepy Hollow from Ichabod’s Landing - which is a work in progress that has stalled because of the controversy surrounding the development at Lighthouse Landing. Yesterday, I took some time to take a walk along the Tarrytown portion of the River Walk – just south and one train stop south of Sleepy Hollow. Much of the River walk has been in use for sometime there. What is new is the park along with the development at Ferry Landing which is to be a co... 06/07/2008

Early this evening I took  Jade and Tundra on a trail that I don't take very often...The Tarrytown Lakes.  It's a short flat trail perfect for a casual stroll or vigorous walk.  It is paved and many local residents bike, walk or job this trail quite frequently.  It appears to be a favorite for joggers as the hills are minimal. The walk begins (or ends) at Saw Mill Road just off the Saw Mill River Parkway and ends (or begins) right at the edge of the Marymount College entrence.  It is a quiet walk where you don't hear the whiz of traffic on the other side of the lakes (reservoirs.)  For those who want an "easy trail" with few surprises, this is an excellent walk to take.     To Search for Homes and for further information go to my website/blog with free home search at The Westchester Vie... 05/24/2008

Once again, I got carried away with pictures!  So I decided to post a pictures that I didn't include in my first blog on February's Third Friday in Tarrytown, NY.  The First set of Photos is from Baby Bee's Children's Boutique.  They had such a wonderful array of things for youngsters - that I couldn't help but click away.... Here is a sample:                                                                From the Flying Fingers Yarn Shop which lended itself to fabulous color photos:                                                On a more formal and sophisticated note, here are some photos from Gallery du Soleil.                              My next stop was Bark & Meow where the NYC dog was reigning supreme!  They had coats and collars and leashes with all the subway lines on them!

The third Friday of every month is a busy day if you are merchant in Tarrytown,  NY. That’s because the village and merchants in conjunction with Chamber of Commerce and other supporters bring a special evening of shopping, dining and entertainment to the public every third Friday of each month from 5-9 PM. Over the past year, since I have been bringing my two huskies to the dog park at Kingsland Point Dog Park, I had been hearing a great deal about  Tarrytown (and Sleepy Hollow’s) “Third Fridays.” So this month I decided to go there myself for an hour or so and see what was happening.  I went early in order to take pictures and I wasn’t disappointed.  The area participating in  Third Friday  covers  Main Street and extends for about three blocks in each direction on North Broadway.
