The Short Answer
Irvington is a village of about 2.8 square miles of land on the east bank of the Hudson River, inside the Town of Greenburgh in Westchester County. It sits between Dobbs Ferry to the south and Tarrytown to the north and holds two Metro-North Hudson Line stations: Irvington and Ardsley-on-Hudson.
The fastest weekday morning peak train from the Irvington station reaches Grand Central in 43 minutes, and a monthly ticket costs $271.50. Houlihan Lawrence puts the single-family median at $1,590,000 for 2026 through August. The village was named for Washington Irving in 1854 and incorporated in 1872.
The detail to check first: the Irvington mailing address covers more ground than the village. East Irvington, unincorporated Town of Greenburgh, shares the 10533 ZIP code and, for most homes, the school district, but not the village’s tax lines or services.

Village, Town and the East Irvington Line
Irvington is one of six incorporated villages in the Town of Greenburgh, with Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings-on-Hudson and Tarrytown. Under New York law a village stays part of its town, so a village homeowner pays both a village tax and a town tax.
The village government at 85 Main Street runs its own police, a volunteer fire department, a public library and resident parking permits. The Town of Greenburgh assesses every property in the village and collects the town, county and school taxes.
East Irvington is different. The Town of Greenburgh lists it among its unincorporated neighborhoods. Homes there have no village government: the Greenburgh Police Department serves them, and the Greenburgh Public Library issues their library cards.
The 10533 Address Trap
In the 2020 Census, ZIP code area 10533 held 3,030 housing units: 2,649 in the Village of Irvington, 305 in unincorporated Greenburgh and 76 in the Village of Tarrytown. Roughly one home in eight with an Irvington 10533 address is outside the village. The trap also runs the other way: 85 homes inside the village sat in ZIP area 10503. The address does not decide the tax lines, the police department, the library card or parking permit eligibility. The municipal line does. We cover the same trap in Scarsdale separately.
Before you make an offer on an Irvington address, run three checks:
- Read the tax bill. A village home has a Village of Irvington tax bill and pays the town rate for inside villages. An East Irvington home has no village bill and pays the town rate for outside villages.
- Confirm the school district. Ask the Irvington district registrar about the specific address, since the district line does not follow the village line.
- Look up the parcel. Westchester County’s tax parcel records list the municipality for every lot.

Commute to Grand Central
Irvington has 15 weekday morning peak trains to Grand Central, with a fastest trip of 43 minutes and a median of 47. The station sits at the bottom of Main Street by the river, and Main Street climbs east from it to Broadway.
The village’s second station, Ardsley-on-Hudson, is one stop south and also inside village limits: 15 morning peak trains, a fastest trip of 41 minutes and a median of 45. Both stations are in fare Zone 4, where a monthly ticket costs $271.50, a weekly ticket $96.50 and a one-way peak ticket $13.75.
One Stop North Costs $498 a Year
Irvington is the last Zone 4 station on the Hudson Line. Tarrytown, the next stop north, is Zone 5 at $313.00 a month: $41.50 more every month, or $498 a year, for a monthly commuter. Tarrytown has two 40-minute trains, but its median morning trip is 49 minutes against Irvington’s 47.
Parking follows the village line. The village’s 2026 permit application prices an annual Ardsley-on-Hudson station permit at $531, expiring January 31, 2027. Resident permits for the Aqueduct lot on Main Street, the South Buckhout Street lot and the East Sunnyside Lane lot are $100 a year, and a daytime Aqueduct permit is $200. Non-residents are not eligible and a waiting list can apply, so call the Village Clerk before you count on a space. Our comparison of Westchester commuter towns puts Irvington next to stations on the Harlem and New Haven lines.
Trains arriving at Grand Central 6 to 10 AM, Monday to Thursday, Metro-North Hudson Line timetable as of March 29, 2026 (Ardsley-on-Hudson from MTA’s schedule feed for September 22, 2026, which matches it). Fares: MTA, effective January 4, 2026. Parking: Village of Irvington 2026 Parking Permit Application (rev. 11/2025).
Homes and Prices
Irvington’s housing mixes one-family houses, two- and three-family houses, condominiums and co-ops; one-family houses are the largest group. The Houlihan Lawrence August 2026 report puts the Irvington single-family median at $1,590,000 for 2026 through August 31, up from $1,343,000 on 70 sales in 2025. The Westchester County single-family median was $1,240,000 in Q2 2026.
The village’s 2025 assessment roll lists 1,944 parcels: 1,195 one-family houses, 81 two-family and 20 three-family, plus several condominium complexes with about 300 unit parcels and co-op and rental apartment buildings, including co-op buildings on Buckhout Street. The median one-family lot is 0.35 acres; about 440 house lots are under a quarter acre and about 160 are an acre or more. The 2020 Census counted 2,734 housing units in the village.
The Main Street area holds more than 200 structures built between 1850 and 1930. The National Park Service designated the Main Street and waterfront area the Irvington Historic District in 2014, and the village adopted design guidelines for it in 2017.
Two cautions on the price figure. The report does not define its Irvington boundary, so read it as a market-level figure, not a village-line one. And one month moves a lot: August 2026 had 12 single-family sales at a median of $1,520,000.

Property Taxes
A home in the Village of Irvington pays four main levies (village, school, Town of Greenburgh and Westchester County) plus county refuse and sewer district charges. On the rates billed in 2026, a typical village home in the Irvington school district pays about $29.55 per $1,000 of assessed value before exemptions such as STAR.
Greenburgh has assessed the town and its villages at 100 percent of market value since 2016, and the state’s equalization rate for the village is 100, so $29.55 per $1,000 is about $29,552 a year on a home assessed at $1,000,000.
| Levy | Rate per $1,000 | Period | Collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Irvington school district | $18.6808 | 2026-27 | Greenburgh, September and January |
| Village of Irvington | $7.2806 | 2026-27 | Village, June and December |
| Westchester County | $2.267751 | 2026 | Greenburgh, April |
| Town of Greenburgh, inside villages | $0.462783 | 2026 | Greenburgh, April |
| North Yonkers county sewer district | $0.576306 | 2026 | Greenburgh, April |
| County refuse disposal district | $0.283940 | 2026 | Greenburgh, April |
The village rate fell 2.55 percent, from $7.4714 in 2025-26 to $7.2806 in the 2026-27 budget adopted April 20, 2026. The county’s map puts almost every village home in the North Yonkers sewer district, and the village bills water and sewer use separately. A small part of the village is in the Dobbs Ferry school district, at a 2026-27 rate of $19.1581.
East Irvington homes in the Irvington school district pay the same school rate but no village tax. They pay the town’s outside-villages rate of $5.503765 instead of $0.462783, plus $0.416040 inside the East Irvington Fire Protection District. On those lines alone, the village home pays about $7.74 per $1,000 and the East Irvington home about $5.92, before any other special districts that apply to a given parcel, and each set of lines pays for a different set of services. Our Westchester property tax guide covers the countywide mechanics.
Greenburgh values property as of July 1 of the prior year, files the tentative roll on June 1, and hears grievances through the third Tuesday in June.

Main Street, Waterfront and Trails
Main Street and Town Hall
Main Street drops from Broadway to the river and the station, at a grade above 8 percent west of Cottenet Street. Town Hall holds the 432-seat Irvington Theater, opened in 1902 and on the National Register since 1984, and the Tiffany Reading Room, decorated with Tiffany glass mosaic tiles.
Scenic Hudson Park
Co-owned by the village and the Scenic Hudson Land Trust and reached by Bridge Street between the river and the tracks: two ballfields, two playground areas, nearly a mile of paths, about 4.5 acres of lawn and a senior center. Leashed dogs are allowed on its paths as of September 2026.
Matthiessen Park
A second riverfront park, reached from North Astor Street and Bridge Street, with a playground, a spray pool, picnic tables and barbecue pits.
Aqueduct and Irvington Woods
The Old Croton Aqueduct trail crosses the full north-south length of the village. Irvington Woods covers about 241 acres, nearly 14 percent of the village, and joined the Old-Growth Forest Network in 2024.
The aqueduct is a state historic park: 26.2 miles of the original 41-mile aqueduct, which first carried water to the city in 1842, running from Van Cortlandt Park at the Bronx line to the Croton Dam.
One correction on Washington Irving. His home, Sunnyside, uses the mailing address 3 West Sunnyside Lane, Irvington, NY 10533, and the village describes it as sitting at its north end. On the Westchester County tax roll and in Census boundaries, however, the parcel that holds Sunnyside’s buildings is in the Village of Tarrytown, just over the line; a smaller Historic Hudson Valley parcel on Sunnyside Lane is inside Irvington. Lyndhurst, at 635 South Broadway, is also in Tarrytown.

School District Boundaries
The Irvington Union Free School District serves almost all of the village, but its boundary is not the village line. It also covers part of the Village of Tarrytown and part of unincorporated Greenburgh, while a small part of the village belongs to other districts.
In the 2020 Census, the Irvington district held 3,838 housing units: 2,680 in the Village of Irvington, 859 in the Village of Tarrytown and 299 in unincorporated Greenburgh. Inside the village, 51 units were in the Dobbs Ferry district and 3 in the Elmsford district. The Village Historian notes that Lyndhurst is in Tarrytown but within the Irvington School District.
Enrollment requires residency inside the district’s boundaries. The district asks for a deed, signed lease or mortgage or closing statement, plus two documents showing the address. Confirm assignment for a specific property with the District Registrar at 914-269-5114 or Registration@IrvingtonSchools.org before you sign a contract.

Irvington vs. Tarrytown and Dobbs Ferry
All three are Greenburgh villages on the same town roll at 100 percent, so their village rates compare directly. The practical differences are the fare zone, the train pattern and the school district lines.
| Factor | Irvington | Tarrytown | Dobbs Ferry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fare zone, monthly | Zone 4, $271.50 | Zone 5, $313.00 | Zone 4, $271.50 |
| AM peak trains, fastest / median | 15, 43 / 47 min | 17, 40 / 49 min | 15, 38 / 43 min |
| Village tax rate per $1,000, 2025-26 | $7.4714 | $7.3792 | $6.6615 |
| School district, 2026-27 rate | Irvington, $18.6808 | Tarrytowns, $18.8518 (part of the village is in Irvington) | Dobbs Ferry, $19.1581 |
On price, Houlihan Lawrence puts the Dobbs Ferry single-family median at $1,462,500 for 2026 through August, against Irvington’s $1,590,000. We compare the two northern villages side by side in Irvington vs. Tarrytown.
