Quick Profile
Searching for a little bit of country that can be your home base, while still being able to take advantage of everything that NYC offers? Do you want a slower pace of living, focused on family and the great outdoors? Riverdale may be your perfect choice. Only about ten miles north of Midtown, Riverdale’s bucolic paradise feels like you have left the city entirely. You would never guess that you are still within the confines of the Bronx.
Riverdale is primarily residential with a substantial number of single-family homes and corridors of high-rise apartments. There are many large parks, and they play a major role in the lives of the residents, as they are a primary source of entertainment. Clean, safe streets make Riverdale a great place to walk or cycle. There are trees everywhere, and the air is fresh and invigorating. It is a great place to raise a family, but more and more singles and young professionals are moving into Riverdale, in search of larger, less expensive apartments, and to enjoy the parks and the remarkable views of the Hudson River and Manhattan.
While the grid layout of the rest of the city makes it easy to find your way from here to there, Riverdale chose to forego that structure, choosing instead to let the verdant streets twist and wind their way around natural obstacles in designs by Frederick Law Olmsted, of Central Park fame. Some streets are divided, with traffic in one direction being at an entirely different level than traffic headed the opposite way on the same street. This quirkiness adds a certain charm to this neighborhood.
If you're looking to buy or sell a property, you want Linda Lepson to represent you. Her highly detail-oriented, communicative and resourceful skills come from owning a successful food and beverage business prior to entering real estate. Located in the popular Columbus Circle area, Linda knew back then that location was a key factor. Her entrepreneurial and merchandising background have been put to good use when it comes to her clients. She is genuinely concerned about their best interests and remains actively involved in every step of the transaction. Part of this understanding of people results from the four years she spent in Europe and the Middle East, working in various jobs, including teaching English, and learning about different cultures and people. Linda specializes in sales and rentals in Washington Heights, Hudson Heights, the Upper West Side and Skyview-on-the Hudson in Riverdale. When not working, Linda is involved in community projects and is a single mom to Benjamin, a student at the School of American Ballet. She is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York and MANOR.
