Ichabod’s Landing is name after Ichabod Crane, Washington Irving’s  famous character from the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow.”  This is relatively new construction that was only available for purchase in 2004. Most  notably the complex sits right on the  Hudson River, literally steps from a swath of the Hudson River Walk that is under construction and will eventually run from the tip of Westchester county (at the Putnam border) to the border of New York City in the South (from Peekskill to Yonkers.)  The views from the River Walk are spectacular and I have a few pictures of the area immediately surrounding Ichabod’s Landing. What a dramatic walk to have steps from your front door!

The complex itself consists of town houses that are three stories high. Some boast of roof top decks and gardens along with two balconies and often , a ground floor patio – some of which are literally flow out to the River Walk and the Hudson River.  Everything here is top of the line, with granite kitchens, hard wood floors, berber carpeting, gas fireplaces in the living rooms, alarm systems, central air, with private driveways and garages. Commuting is easy – you can walk to the train or take a short drive.

Cost of Living:

All of this comes at a price of course. Recent sales have a wide range from $732.5k for a little over 2000 sq. ft. with 3 BR and 2.1 baths to $1.6 million for nearly 3500 sq.ft. and 4 BR/ 3.1 BA.  The taxes range from roughly  $13,300 for 2100 sq.ft.  to $27,900  for 3500 sq.ft.  This does not include the STAR deduction of approximately $2100 a year.  The monthly fees range from $325 to $455.  So excluding mortgage and including tax benefits and STAR, the cost to living could range from  $997 a month for roughly 2100 sq.ft. to about $2000 a month for the high end units.

Pet-Friendly Status:

There are no restrictions on pets.
