Haverstraw is one of the more urban communities in Rockland County, which makes the village an attractive place to live amongst former New York City residents, the artist community, and New Yorkers with Hudson Valley weekend homes. Because of this, the village is currently in a state of transition as gentrification takes hold. Interest in the village is fueled by its rich history and architecture, its vast Hudson River shoreline and natural amenities, its overall walkability and density, and trans-Hudson ferry service to Ossining and the Metro-North Railroad with direct service to Grand Central Terminal. North Rockland County is typically known for its car-oriented, suburban development pattern. However, Downtown Haverstraw is boasts traditional, development patterns, an historic street grid, sidewalks, street trees and street lamps. The Village of Haverstraw is essentially the wider North Rockland region's central business district.
