The Tarrytown station of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority Hudson Line is just under one mile from the community, providing access to Grand Central Station in Manhattan in approximately 45 minutes.
The Westchester market has demonstrated significant employer growth attracting corporate headquarters to downtown Harrison, as well as neighboring towns of West Harrison, White Plains, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Tarrytown, and Yonkers.

Emerson is part of the Edge-On-Hudson mixed-use community and joins the Toll Brothers for-sale communities located there.”
