Cold Spring, New York

Cold Spring is an incorporated village in the Town of Philipstown, Putnam County, New York. The village sits on the east bank of the Hudson River in the Hudson Highlands. Addresses in the area may fall inside the village itself or in the wider Town of Philipstown outside village limits, and the two are governed separately, so it is worth confirming which applies to a specific property.

Setting and Open Space

Breakneck Ridge and the surrounding state park land are documented hiking areas near the village. West Point, across the Hudson in the Town of Highlands, Orange County, is a nearby landmark rather than a Cold Spring amenity.

About the Data on This Page

Census, Walk Score, Yelp, and school widgets shown on this page come from third-party sources. They are estimates, have not been verified by our team, and their geography may mix village and town boundaries. School ratings are one organization's opinion and are not a recommendation; Haldane is the commonly referenced local district, and you should contact the district directly to confirm district lines and programs for a specific address. We do not steer buyers toward or away from any area.
