Dobbs Ferry Reviews
Rating 4.07 out of 5 30 reviews
It has a beautiful waterfront park, it has many cute shops to spend the day window shopping or getting a nice coffee. A pool for the summer with a great park. A very easy 40 minute commute to New York City. The High School is pretty good, has good offerings in sports. and has a great set of teachers.
Have lived in Dobbs Ferry for 40 years and raised my kids here. It is a remarkable community for kids, particularly if they are interested in sports and the arts. The local School District is one of the few that offers the International Baccalaureate degree. But the community is not all about the kids. In fact, the number of households in Dobbs Ferry with kids is about 30%. There is a vibrant downtown that makes Dobbs a real village. If I have a concern, it is that the amazing effort that was made between 2000 and 2010 to focus on Dobbs being a more sustainable, diverse, and complete community, which resulted in wonderful projects being developed in the downtown, has generated a group that now complains about anything that is proposed. The projects that have been built have restored older buildings and reinforced the historic character, but now there is a group that seems to complain about anything. Still, they are few, although their loudness brings them too much attention.
Such a cute little rivertown! Plenty of exquisite dining options and so many cute little stores. The public school system is great and it's an amazing place to raise a family.
