The Bronx’s leafy suburbia on the Hudson River

Urban Family-Friendly Community Riverfront Nightlife Wooded

Wooded and winding residential streets make way for local restaurants and shops in the city of Riverdale. Situated in the Bronx, Riverdale is the perfect blend between the quiet comforts of suburban living and the hustle and bustle of big-city life. The schools are great, the streets are safe, and the neighbors are welcoming. Though Riverdale is located in New York City, it has a peaceful feel with plenty of parks and riverfront views.

On the Hudson River, Riverdale offers not only riverfront views, but outdoor recreation at popular parks like Van Cortlandt Park. A golf course, recreation area, house museum, sports facilities, a dog park, and more are available to this city’s residents. History buffs appreciate the historic monuments in various parks throughout town, as well.

The Riverdale Metro is an easy way to get around town, and the subway stations along Broadway are an option as well. Many residents of Riverdale live in this city for its secluded suburban feel, while commuting into Manhattan for work, shopping, or a night out on the town. However, Riverdale has some late-night, local perks of its own like the Bronx Alehouse, known for its wings, burgers, brews, and brunch!
