In case you hadn’t heard, millennials from Brooklyn have fallen in love with Westchester’s Rivertowns.
These quaint Hudson River communities — Dobbs Ferry, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington, Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow — offer small-time charm, easy walkability, good schools, a lively restaurant scene and plenty of opportunities for hiking and biking.
Unfortunately for first-time home buyers eager to land a home in a suburban charmer, they also offer anxiety-ridden bidding wars for starter homes that are priced to sell.
If you’ve got a budget of $750,000 or so, here are five homes in the Rivertowns to get you thinking about owning a home of your own in Westchester.
