Riverdale is a leafy, upscale neighborhood in the northwest Bronx perched above the Hudson, offering waterfront parks like Wave Hill, easy access to Van Cortlandt Park trails, a calm, walkable residential vibe with good cafés and markets—an inviting, homey base for multi-week travel therapy stays where evenings and weekends feel pleasant, not hollow.
You’re also a short train or drive from Manhattan’s museums, theaters and dining for big-city nights out, and within easy reach of Yonkers/Westchester for larger suburban shopping and waterfront activities.
