Dobbs Ferry Reviews

Write a review about Dobbs Ferry Tell people what you like or don't like about Dobbs Ferry…
Dobbs Ferry- NY City Review 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Dobbs Ferry is a very significant city to live. I lived in the town for ten years. A lot of employment opportunities are evidenced in the city. It made me have a peaceful stay and raise my family as I got enough jobs to sustain in the region. The people in the town are very coope ...Read More rative and willing to work. Their unity provides an opportunity to those who lack jobs to get jobs. Attraction sites include the Sunnyside where people run, walk or ride in to exercise themselves and memorial park which is a right place for a walk.

There are a lot of restaurants and shops which are in the city, and interior roads near these restaurants appear congested with vehicles. There is access to these shopping shops which gives residents opportunity to shop quickly. Also, students can get their essentials easily from nearby shops. However, the Hudson River hiders connectivity though not wholly. There is nightlife where people enjoy themselves to the maximum. It gives people opportunities to have leisure especially those work extensively throughout the daytime. I consider it an excellent place to reside. Read Less
