Why people choose Riverdale

Riverdale is a hilly, green corner of the northwest Bronx overlooking the Hudson River. It offers a suburban feel with New York City convenience, from high-rise co-ops with river views to large homes in Fieldston. Many Riverdale owners eventually move north to Yonkers and lower Westchester, and many Westchester buyers start their search here.
