Characteristics

Transportation

Ardsley is particularly car friendly. It is especially convenient to come across a place to park, and the majority of properties for sale are a short drive from the closest highway, such as Gov Thomas E Dewey Thruway. However, the public transit service in this part of the village is not very frequent. Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most residences. Ardsley is not particularly bike-friendly as bicycle riders are faced with a significant amount of slopes, and the cycling network is rather poor. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very popular in this part of Ardsley, although meeting daily needs is convenient without the need for a car.

Services

When it comes to education, residents will find that no matter where their house is situated in Ardsley, primary schools are close by. On the other hand, there are only a few high schools and therefore they can be a rather long trip away.
