Characteristics

Transportation

Commuting by car is very convenient in this community. It is very easy to park, and it is a reasonably short drive to the nearest highway from any home in Bedford Hills. On the other hand, the transit system in Bedford Hills is not particularly practical. Nonetheless, train stations, including the Bedford Hills with access to the Harlem, are generally a short distance away from the bulk of homes in the community. Property owners have access to a few bus lines, and the closest bus stop is typically around the corner. Bedford Hills is not very convenient for people who travel as pedestrians since few day-to-day needs can be carried out without the use of a car. Biking is also very hard in this part of the Greater New York metropolitan area as the bicycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive, and riding is rendered arduous by the typically hilly topography.

With respect to eating, in all but a few cases, a car is needed to buy groceries in one of around 10 stores.
