Riverdale (population approximately 45,000, according to the 2000 U.S. Census) is a middle- and upper-class residential neighborhood in the northwest Bronx, New York City. Riverdale is about three square miles in area. It is bordered on the north by the city of Yonkers, Westchester County, New York; to the east by Van Cortlandt Park and the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx; to the west by the Hudson River; and to the south by the Harlem River. The five subsections of Riverdale are Spuyten Duyvil, South Riverdale, Central Riverdale, Fieldston, and North Riverdale. The leafy, scenic enclave of Fieldston, a private community, was designated as an historic district in by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2006.
Housing in Riverdale ranges from multi-story apartment buildings dating from the 1950's and 60's to large, architecturally distinguished houses built in the early 20th Century, mostly in Georgian- and Tudor-revival styles. In 2005-06, Central Riverdale experienced a building boom with the addition of over a dozen mid- and high-rise condominium buildings.
Riverdale is in a sense the closest northern suburb of New York City although it is not its own municipality. Administratively, Riverdale is part of Bronx Community District 8.
