Furnace Woods blends wooded backroads and river proximity with everyday convenience, making it a sought-after corner of Cortlandt. Residents enjoy quick access to Hudson River recreation and a network of county parks; weekend plans often start at Blue Mountain Reservation for miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails, or along the shoreline at George’s Island Park. Arts, dining, and live music are minutes away in Peekskill, while farmers markets and village favorites in Croton-on-Hudson round out the local scene. Everyday errands are easy in nearby Buchanan, and the broader amenities of Westchester County are within a short drive.
Families value the strong local schools served by the Hendrick Hudson School District, including well-regarded Furnace Woods Elementary, with Blue Mountain Middle School and Hendrick Hudson High School continuing the pipeline. Commuters appreciate options: the Hudson Line’s Cortlandt station offers a straightforward ride to Manhattan, and Croton-Harmon expands express service choices. Housing ranges from classic colonials and mid-century splits to updated contemporaries on generous lots, and quiet streets make evening strolls and bike rides part of daily life. Outdoor lovers can add Croton Gorge Park and the New Croton Dam to their list for dramatic views and picnic spots.
