Historic Fieldston is one of New York City’s most beautiful and well-planned early-twentieth-century suburban communities consisting of approximately 257 houses and related structures. The “hidden gem” community is regarded for its winding roads that followed the natural topography and preserved as far as possible its “wooded knolls, dells, and hillocks.” Truly the best of both worlds, Fieldston residents enjoy a quiet suburban residential feel removed from the chaos and noise of city life. Yet are steps to Delafield and Van Cortland Parks as well as great Riverdale restaurants and have a quick easy commute to midtown Manhattan.
