The full relocation guide covers what housing costs, which section to look at, kosher shopping, schools, and how families actually get around on Shabbos — written for someone deciding whether Riverdale, NY is the right community for them.
Read the Riverdale moving guide →Riverdale is the part of New York City that does not feel like the city — hilly, leafy streets above the Hudson, a mix of large apartment and co-op buildings and private houses, and a Modern Orthodox community that has been established here for decades. The Riverdale Jewish Center on Independence Avenue and the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale on the Henry Hudson Parkway sit a few blocks apart at the community’s center; the Young Israel of Riverdale, the Riverdale Minyan and, further north, the Young Israel Ohab Zedek of North Riverdale and Yonkers fill out the map.
Families come for the combination of space and access: SAR Academy anchors the school scene, the Riverdale Mikvah is on the Henry Hudson Parkway, and Manhattan is a Metro-North, express bus or 1-train ride away. Housing runs from co-op apartments, which are the usual entry point, up to private houses at the top of the market.
Note: Riverdale has a community eruv; Young Israel of Riverdale and the Riverdale Jewish Center publish its map (yiriverdale.org). ShulMap has not found a published status line — check with your shul before Shabbos. Checked 23 September 2026; follow your own rav.
