Peekskill is a charming small city positioned about forty miles north of Manhattan on the east bank of the Hudson River. The community hosts a thriving Downtown district loaded with locally-owned specialty shops, eclectic restaurants, and entertainment venues—Swing by the Peekskill Farmers’ Market at the center of town for the freshest produce and groceries around, grab a drink at the Quiet Man Public House, or catch a show at the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater.

One of the city’s most notable features is its access to nature: the sprawling Depew Park sits on the south side of town, providing an expansive network of trails to explore the natural splendor of the region. Bear Mountain State Park sits directly across the river, providing gorgeous scenery and putting outdoor adventures just a short drive away.
