Riverfront character.
Village life, beautifully connected.

Piermont is an incorporated village in the Town of Orangetown in southern Rockland County. It sits along the Hudson River at the base of the Palisades, just north of the New Jersey border.

Piermont is known for its mile-long pier, Hudson River and marsh views, walkable village center, restaurants, galleries, historic railroad and paper-mill heritage, and its World War II history as Last Stop USA.

Piermont includes historic houses, cottages, colonials, contemporary and hillside homes, townhomes, and riverfront condominium communities. Elevation, parking, water views, lot size, and proximity to the village center vary considerably.

Much of the village center is compact and walkable, especially along Piermont Avenue, Ash Street, Flywheel Park, and the route toward the pier. Walkability differs for hillside homes and properties closer to Route 9W.

Piermont’s historic railroad station is no longer used for passenger service. Commuters may use direct bus service, drive to a park-and-ride, or connect to Metro-North in Tarrytown. Check current schedules for the specific trip.

Options include direct commuter buses, driving, or combining a cross-river connection with Metro-North service from Tarrytown to Grand Central. Travel time varies significantly with traffic, schedules, transfers, and the final destination.

Piermont pricing changes with the mix of condominiums, village homes, hillside properties, and waterfront listings available at a given time. Use Jennifer’s live Piermont market report for current pricing, inventory, recent sales, and days on market rather than relying on a figure that may already be outdated.

Piermont is served by the South Orangetown Central School District. The district uses grade-level schools: William O. Schaefer for Pre-K through grade 2, Cottage Lane for grades 3 through 5, South Orangetown Middle School for grades 6 through 8, and Tappan Zee High School for grades 9 through 12. Always verify by property address.

School quality means different things to different families. Review the New York State School Report Card, district programs, graduation data, extracurricular activities, and services important to your student. Confirm the school assignment for the exact property address.

Flood exposure is property-specific and especially important to investigate near the river, marsh, and other low-lying areas. Review current FEMA maps, available elevation certificates, insurance history and quotes, drainage, prior mitigation, and inspection findings before purchasing.

No. Flood designations vary by individual parcel and structure. Never rely on a general description of the village. Check the exact address using current FEMA information and confirm requirements with the lender and insurer.

Review the declaration or offering plan, bylaws, budget, reserves, master insurance, recent meeting minutes, assessments, litigation, parking rights, pet rules, rental restrictions, and any flood-related coverage or responsibilities.

Taxes vary by assessment, exemptions, and taxing jurisdiction. Piermont properties may have county, town, village, and school taxes. Review the latest complete set of tax bills for the individual property and ask which exemptions may change after a sale.

Public and permit parking rules vary by location and time. Some homes and businesses have private spaces while others rely on village parking. Verify parking rights for the property and review current village regulations.

Residents can enjoy Piermont Pier, Piermont Marsh, the Old Erie Path, Tallman Mountain State Park, local marinas, fishing, birdwatching, walking, running, cycling, and seasonal community recreation.

Piermont hosts the weekly Piermont Farmers Market on Sundays at Flywheel Park, along with arts and music events, holiday activities, and community celebrations. Event names and dates change, so consult the Village of Piermont and Piermont Chamber calendars for current information.

Browse the current Piermont listings, then schedule a consultation to discuss timing, budget, housing type, parking, commute needs, flood-risk comfort, and whether downtown, riverfront, or hillside living best fits your priorities.

Most buyers begin with financing and a focused search. After an accepted offer, attorneys prepare and review the contract. Buyers typically complete inspections, sign the contract with the agreed deposit, finalize the mortgage and appraisal, conduct a final walkthrough, and close. Timing and terms vary.

I always strongly recommend at least a general home inspection when buying a home in Piermont. A professional inspection helps you understand the condition of the structure and major systems before you move forward. Depending on the property, buyers may also consider flood, drainage, sewer or septic, radon, mold, oil tank, chimney, pest, retaining wall, seawall, dock, or other specialized evaluations.
