If you don’t have a car⛽, Uber is readily available (❤️). Although having a car makes it easier to get around, there are plenty of ways to enjoy yourself in the area without one. A respectable walkscore of 62 with plenty of sidewalks in the village and places to eat and drink located relatively close. There is Enterprise car rental in Croton too. Although Croton on Hudson is a suburb of New York City, there are some wild animals and birds that you may encounter from time to time. During summer time there are blue jays and other birds living in magnolia trees near the house and on occasion deer and raccoons could be spotted. A beautiful hawk lives nearby and can be seen in the morning as it flies above the house. Away from industry and pollution, enjoy a breath of clean air and the outdoors. If you go hiking, take note that poison ivy has been spotted in the area and, as always, there are risks of ticks in any woods and tall grass, so dress appropriately. There is abundant information about ticks and tick bites on internet, it is worthwhile to be informed. Streets in the village are illuminated but driveways tend to be a bit darker. It is noticeably darker at night on the street, compared to a large city like New York, but as an added bonus, you could see stars! Mars’ red dot is easily seen with a naked eye as well as white dots of Jupiter and Saturn. Orion's belt, Ursa Major and Minor, Vega, Polaris and many more to be discovered. Even though Croton on Hudson is a relatively small village, it is not “lost in the woods” and has a walk score of 62. The roads may be somewhat active during rush hour, although there is no traffic jams or congestion in the village, to and from train station. As soon as you leave the populated area and go into a natural park like the Tea Town Lake Reservation, you can enjoy nature to its fullest with 1000 acres of protected terrain and 15 miles of hiking trails. Note: There is an outdoor security camera at the bottom of the stairs facing out. A second camera is at the parking lot.
