Rendering of River’s Edge beside the Hudson River

Nature and New York City. Together at last.

Set on 32 acres along the Hudson River in Riverdale, River’s Edge offers something increasingly rare in New York City: room to breathe. Here, sweeping river views, mature trees and green space create a sense of retreat, while Manhattan and everything that makes New York extraordinary remain just minutes away.

It’s an unexpected combination—a true oasis within New York City, where nature is part of everyday life and the energy of Manhattan is always within reach.

A campus designed for living Well.

There’s something different about living where nature is always within view. At River’s Edge, the Hudson isn’t simply a beautiful backdrop. Water, light, mature trees and green space are part of the environment you experience every day. Walk landscaped paths beneath a canopy of trees. Dine outdoors overlooking the river. Watch the seasons change across the Palisades. Find a quiet spot in the gardens or simply look out your window and see the Hudson moving below.

And there’s growing evidence that these surroundings matter. Regular exposure to trees, green space and water has been associated with lower stress, greater well-being and more opportunities to move and spend time outdoors. At River’s Edge, those restorative elements of nature aren’t something you have to seek out—they’re part of where you live.

Living well goes beyond the View.

The natural setting is only part of the story. River’s Edge is being created with features that support a healthier, more sustainable way of living—from geothermal heating and cooling and bird-friendly glass to hydroponic growing that will bring fresh herbs and greens closer to the table. It’s part of a larger approach to creating a community that respects the natural environment around it.

Well-being extends indoors, too, with an indoor saltwater pool and restorative spaces that include a Himalayan salt sauna and red-light therapy. These aren’t simply amenities. They’re part of a larger approach to creating a place where the environment, the buildings and the experiences within them all contribute to living well.

Discover the character of Riverdale.

Riverdale may be one of New York City’s best-kept secrets. Set along the Hudson River, it has a character all its own—tree-lined streets, historic homes, remarkable green space and a pace that feels worlds away from Manhattan, even though the city is just minutes away.

Spend an afternoon exploring the gardens at Wave Hill. Walk the trails of Van Cortlandt Park. Stop at a neighborhood café or a longtime favorite like Liebman’s Delicatessen. Explore local shops, restaurants and places that give Riverdale its neighborhood character. It’s distinctly New York, but perhaps not the New York you expected. And that’s exactly what makes Riverdale so special.

Travel on your terms.

One of the greatest advantages of living at River’s Edge is how easy it is to experience New York as you see fit. The Riverdale Metro-North station is just two blocks from campus, with convenient service into Manhattan. Scheduled private town car transportation provides regular trips to and from the city throughout the day, while RiverSpring Living shuttle service and on-campus ZipCars make shopping, appointments and local errands equally convenient.

Meet friends for lunch. Do some holiday shopping and see the city lit up for the season. Catch a game. Spend the afternoon in Central Park. Visit family. Have dinner downtown. Or simply take care of the errands that are part of everyday life. And when your plans take you farther, New York’s major airports make River’s Edge an ideal home base for travel across the country and around the world.
