Perched along the scenic Hudson River just 30 miles north of Manhattan, Ossining is known for its stunning Victorian architecture and rich history dating back to 1813. The downtown area features beautifully preserved 19th-century buildings, including the landmark Squire House and the historic Double Arch, while neighborhoods like Sparta and Crotonville offer a variety of housing options near local amenities. The town's Metro-North station provides a direct 45-minute train ride to Grand Central Terminal, making it a convenient choice for commuters. Houses for rent in Ossining's 16 square miles of rolling terrain average $3,120 monthly for three bedrooms, typically offering more space than apartments. Residents enjoy waterfront access at Louis Engel Waterfront Park, hiking trails at Crawbuckie Nature Preserve, and the town's tree-lined streets. Many rental properties feature gardens and private parking, all within walking distance to the historic downtown shopping district and the Hudson River waterfront.
