One of the closest communities in Westchester to New York City, Bronxville shares little with its similar-sounding borough beyond their first five letters, a river, and its eponymous parkway, followed by a paved bike trail that’s just gushing with flora and fauna. Look below the surface of this buttoned-up suburb and you’ll find historic links to America’s greatest creative minds, from muralist Violet Oakley to beat generation luminary Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Modern Bronxville took shape at the hands of developer William Lawrence, who built a hilltop cluster of artful homes by such noteworthy architects as William Bates and Charles Lewis Bowman, perfectly shelved on yellow brick roads. You’ll find the latter still standing proud, soaring above a cultured business district with upscale clothiers, courtyard trattorias, a charming bookshop and a coffee house straight out of Dead Poet’s Society, beloved by professionals and Sarah Lawrence collegiates alike.

Don’t call it upstate. This cosmopolitan county north of New York City is a collective of towns, hamlets and mid-sized cities that put virtually every lifestyle imaginable within an hour’s commute of the city. It’s due north of the Bronx, next door to Connecticut, and the gateway to the Hudson Valley. Metro North’s Harlem, Hudson and New Haven lines make for speedy service into Grand Central — an express ride from many down-county communities runs comparable to the F train from South Brooklyn, with a much sunnier view. Lower Westchester’s villages prioritize convenience, while the verdant horse country to the north is a favored destination for those looking to fade away in privacy. The Hudson and Long Island Sound form its two coasts, conspiring with an inland chain of lakes and reservoirs for unbeatable boating, fishing and other recreational endeavors. Chain stores are noticeably absent from many Main Streets, which run chockablock with character-filled indie shops.

If any legends are true here, it’s how the past of this charming commuter-friendly community blends so effortlessly with its present. Immortalized in Washington Irving’s classic tale, this Westchester river town—a village of Mount Pleasant, to be technical—was called North Tarrytown through 1996, when residents voted to reclaim its historic place name. While you won’t cross paths with a headless horseman stalking its foggy, lantern-lit streets, you’ll certainly stumble upon welcoming neighborhood haunts pouring local craft beer, along with miles of trails, an 17th-century Dutch church, and a stout coffee pot-looking lighthouse. The revitalized riverfront boasts a slew of sleek modern apartments, contrasting classic Colonials and mansard-roofed Second Empires on leafy lanes. Metro-North’s Hudson Line stops right at Philipse Manor, which surrounds the stately neighborhood of the same name.

Tucked between the towns of Mount Pleasant and Ossining, Briarcliff Manor is a leafy Northern Westchester village stretching from Scarborough hamlet, on-Hudson, to the hills above the Pocantico River. It’s an easy sprint from the city, on Metro-North, and a natural fit for nature-lovers: There’s 170 miles of parkland here, from a plethora of soccer fields and sandy baseball diamonds to Hardscrabble Wilderness Area, filled with miles of meandering trails. Emporiums of handcrafted home goods and gift baskets, plump with local provisions, dot the brick sidewalks of downtown, punctuated with planter boxes and bistro tables. Colonials cocooned in front porches coexist in intimate neighborhoods with geometrically-intriguing Mid-Mods, enlivening Briarcliff’s snail-shaped borders with personality. The paved 22-mile North County Trail cuts past the Tudor library, once a train station, and the fish-filled waters by the current one in Scarborough invite you to cast a line.
