I have been living here for 6 years now and have nothing but good things to say. People here are very nice and town services are second to none and town is continually looking to improve. No arrogance here just nice families and a warm friendly environment. Puts “neighbor” on neighborhood. Thanks Ardsley!

Ardsley is probably the best schools, best location, and best town you can get for your money in Westchester. Want to live closer to a train or a bigger town? You're going to pay an unreasonable amount. This is the best bang for your buck in the county.
A wonderful place to raise a family. Good people, great schools, great location, easy to get to highways, trains, and commercial areas.
