Another Hudson River town for your consideration.

When you think of Ossining, perhaps you think of Sing Sing prison. You kind of can’t miss it when you’re there. It’s huge. And the prisoners have the best view in town. Unlike other river towns, the housing closer to the water is somewhat less valuable because of the prison. If you want waterfront property and don’t mind William “What’s the frequency Kenneth” Tager being your neighbor, you’re in luck!

Ossining is less than an hour from Grand Central on Metro North. The town is diverse in both it’s population and housing stock. It’s one of the few remaining Westchester towns that isn’t a fancy schmancy rich suburb, but rather a melting pot of cultures and economic variety.

Many of the structures in town are on the National Register of Historic Places. The village itself is quite a quaint, colorful experience. The housing stock is well varied. Let’s just say there’s something for everyone, whether you prefer a fabulous turreted Victorian, a run down fixer upper, a McMansion or a ranch.

Home prices are varied as well. However, as you can see from the listings, one can still find a home for under $400k… even under $300k.
