About
Fieldston
Fieldston, located between Van Cortlandt Park and Riverdale Avenue, is a residential and historic New York neighborhood with winding lanes and stone-and-timber homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fieldston Road and Riverdale Avenue corridor, where leafy setbacks, low traffic, and a quiet streetscape set the tone. Architectural identity leans Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival, with deep lots, mature trees, and occasional Hudson River glimpses from higher ground. The Fieldston Historic District reads like a curated garden suburb, with curving streets and preserved sightlines. Nearby anchors such as Wave Hill, the Kingsbridge Armory, and the Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course add culture and open-air ritual to the week.
