🔊 Listen to this Post Hastings-on-Hudson is a village in Westchester County located in the southwestern part of the town of Greenburgh in the state of New York, United States. It’s a suburb of New York City, located approximately 20 miles (32 km) north of midtown Manhattan, and is served by a stop on the Metro-North Hudson Line. To the north of Hastings-on-Hudson is the village of Dobbs Ferry, to the south, the city of Yonkers, and to the east unincorporated parts of Greenburgh. As of the 2020 US Census, it had a population of 8,590. The town lies on U.S. Route 9, “Broadway” and the Saw Mill River Parkway.

Although a suburb of New York City, Hastings-on-Hudson enjoys better mass transit service than many other suburbs in the United States. Commuter rail service is available via the Hastings-on-Hudson railway station, served by the Metro-North Railroad‘s Hudson Line to Grand Central Terminal, Croton-on-Hudson and Poughkeepsie; transfers to Amtrak‘s Empire Corridor are available three stops south, at the Yonkers railway station. Additionally, several bus routes operated by the Bee-Line Bus System, connect Hastings-on-Hudson with other places in Westchester and northern sections of the Bronx.

In 2018 Brooke Lea Foster of The New York Times stated that it was one of several “Rivertowns” in New York State, which she described as among the “least suburban of suburbs, each one celebrated by buyers there for its culture and hip factor, as much as the housing stock and sophisticated post-city life.” Of those, Foster stated that Irvington was the “artsiest”. Attractions and places for recreation include:

• Chemka Pool, a community outdoor swimming pool near the Hillside Woods/School
• Hillside Woods, a large wooded area with hiking trails
• Two north-south linear parks: the Old Croton Aqueduct Trailway state park, and the South County Trailway county park
• Sugar Pond, a small pond located in the Riverview Manor portion of the Hillside Woods; open to ice skating in the winter
• Numerous playing fields including the Burke Estate, Zinsser Park, Reynolds Field, and Uniontown Field
• Downtown Hastings-on-Hudson, with retail stores and restaurants
• Ever Rest, the homestead and studio of painter Jasper Cropsey (1823–1900), listed on the National Register of Historic Places in New York.
• A public library
• A farmer’s market on Saturdays (outdoors June–November; indoors twice monthly December–May)
• The VFW building with a dance studio and karate school
• Hastings High School, which presents theatre productions and other shows
• “Museum of the Streets”, a walking tour with historic markers maintained by the Hastings Historical Society.
• A new free outdoor Concert Series was launched at MacEachron Waterfront Park in 2018.
• The River Spirit Music and Arts Festival, the Village’s annual event, at Draper Park, on the second Saturday of September.
