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.
Dobbs Ferry is your typical suburban town. Conveniently has a train station that goes to Grand Central Terminal. Dobbs Ferry offers trendy eateries like the Dawg House and the cookery. Residents are not always that friendly and the public school system is subpar. Dobbs Ferry is really what you make of it!
