Moving to Sleepy Hollow, NY
About Sleepy Hollow
Sleepy Hollow is a village in the town of Mount Pleasant on the Hudson River, famous as the setting of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Its identity centers on the Old Dutch Church and burying ground, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and Philipsburg Manor, with Kingsland Point Park and the RiverWalk along the water and Beekman Avenue as the small downtown strip. Housing runs from compact multifamily and older homes near the center to single-family neighborhoods and the newer Edge-on-Hudson waterfront development. Redfin's July 2026 all-home-types median of $1,731,133 reflects a highly volatile small market — treat it as a snapshot, not a trend.
