The character of Tarrytown is exemplified by its slower-paced ambience. This part of the Greater New York metropolitan area is reasonably quiet, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue - although there are still several louder sections, especially around the railway line, I-287 or Cross Westchester Expy. Finally, there are over 50 parks nearby for residents to explore, including Irvington Woods and Cross County Trail Area, making them very easy to access from a large number of locations in Tarrytown.
