Croton-on Hudson People say they enjoy Croton-on-Hudson for the small town atmosphere, its beauty and interesting history. The majestic Hudson River borders the village to the west, and Teatown Lake Reservation frames the east. Mountain roads and lake drives around Croton Reservoir, across Croton Dam, and along the Croton River complete the serene setting and offer panoramic views of water and highlands. Croton's train ride along the Hudson River is a desirable commute. Metro-North offers dependability and a 48-minute Express Rail service to and from Grand Central Station. Bus service is offered to White Plains and other nearby towns. Route 9A for the Saw Mill River Parkway and Route 129 to the Taconic Parkway, are both accessible to Interstate 287 and the N.Y.Thruway. The village is dotted with playgrounds, ballfields, and tennis courts. There is hiking along the Croton Aqueduct, fishing, picnicking and canoeing at Croton Point Park, a 500-acre peninsula jutting into the Hudson River. The 639-acre Teatown Lake Wildlife Preserve provides educational and recreational programs all year round.

Rich history, scenic river views and cozy, old-fashioned surroundings provide an unsurpassed setting.
Peekskill Peekskill is located in the northwest corner of Westchester County bordering the Hudson River about 40 miles north of New York City. Peekskill is a lively, multi-cultural city in the midst of a revival. Industrial development at Charles Point has strengthened the city’s business base. With the creation of the Downtown Artist District, the live/work art lofts, and the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Peekskill has emerged as a thriving arts center. A new waterfront development by Ginsburg Development Corp. is home to over 200 families. This beautiful site is incredibly convenient to the railroad station and minutes to many fine restaurants. The 15-acre Riverfront Green Park with its breathtaking views of the Hudson Valley offers a playground, waterfront trail, public boat launch, kayaking, boat excursions, concerts in the summer and relaxation.
