A hillside Hudson River village where Main Street meets Metro-North.
Tarrytown is a historic, walkable Hudson River village in Westchester County, home to about 11,900 residents on just under 3 square miles. Downtown Main Street climbs the hillside from the Tarrytown Metro-North station, lined with restaurants, boutiques and Tarrytown Music Hall, while the Hudson RiverWalk and Pierson Park anchor life along the water below.
About 30 miles north of Manhattan, Tarrytown offers an express Hudson Line commute to Grand Central alongside genuine small-town character: the median home value across the village is approximately $685,000, a mix of Colonial, Victorian and Gothic Revival-era homes alongside newer condos near the waterfront.
Metro-North Hudson Line Access
Tarrytown's own station puts Grand Central within reach for daily commuters, without giving up river views and small-town walkability.
A Real Main Street
Restaurants, shops and Tarrytown Music Hall line a hillside downtown that residents actually walk to, rather than drive.
Gilded Age History
Lyndhurst, the 67-acre Gothic Revival estate built for Jay Gould, sits inside the village and remains open for tours and events.
Union Free School District of the Tarrytowns
A diverse district serving Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow together, with Sleepy Hollow High School carrying a 7/10 GreatSchools rating and ranking in the top 20% of New York high schools.
Life in Tarrytown centers on Main Street and the river. Residents walk down the hill for coffee or dinner, jog or bike the Hudson RiverWalk, and catch touring acts, comedy and film at the historic Tarrytown Music Hall, a working 1885 theater on Main Street. Pierson Park hosts summer concerts and waterfront gatherings, and Lyndhurst's grounds regularly host outdoor events from craft fairs to lawn concerts.
The village is notably diverse: Census data puts Tarrytown's population at roughly 64% White, with meaningful Asian, Black and multiracial communities, and a median age of 42. It's a village where longtime Hudson Valley families live alongside newer arrivals drawn by the train and the river.
Main Street is the village's dining and entertainment spine. Tarry Tavern serves seasonal New American food a few steps from Tarrytown Music Hall, while Mint Premium Foods, a Michelin Guide-recognized Mediterranean restaurant and gourmet market, anchors the block with imported cheeses and full dinner service. For waterfront dining with Hudson River sunsets, The Sailhouse offers seafood, live music and a tiki bar down by the river.
Tarrytown is served by the Union Free School District of the Tarrytowns, also known as the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns, which covers both Tarrytown and neighboring Sleepy Hollow. The district includes three elementary schools, one middle school and Sleepy Hollow High School, which carries a 7/10 GreatSchools rating, ranks in the top 20% of New York public high schools, and reports a 94% graduation rate. The district is one of the more diverse in Westchester County, with a student body that is roughly 61% Hispanic/Latino.
School assignment is based on home address; buyers should confirm current zoning directly with the Union Free School District of the Tarrytowns before purchasing.
Tarrytown's housing stock blends Colonial and Victorian-era homes on the hillside streets above Main Street with newer condos and townhomes closer to the train station and waterfront. Village-wide, the median home value is approximately $685,000 according to recent American Community Survey estimates, up meaningfully from pre-pandemic levels. Individual sale prices vary widely by proximity to the river and the train, and by condition and lot size, so recent monthly sale figures can swing sharply given Tarrytown's relatively low transaction volume in any given month.
Buyers are typically drawn by the commute, the walkability and the river views, while sellers benefit from steady, multi-year demand from New York City households trading commute time for space and lifestyle.
