Wave Hill is a 28-acre (11 ha) estate in the Hudson Hill section of Riverdale in the Bronx, New York City. Wave Hill currently consists of public horticultural gardens and a cultural center, all situated on the slopes overlooking the Hudson River, with expansive views across the river to the New Jersey Palisades. The estate includes two houses and a botanical garden. The oldest part of the main house, Wave Hill House, dates back to 1843; Glyndor House dates from 1927 and contains a multi-room art gallery. Perkins Visitor Center, which was originally a garage, contains a gift shop and an information desk. During the late 19th century and early 20th century, numerous highly notable people resided in Wave Hill, either because they owned it, leased it, or stayed there as guests. In 1960, the estate was given to the City of New York, and Wave Hill is now a cultural center as well as a garden. In addition to visual arts exhibits, paid-ticket concert series take place on some Sunday afternoons in Armor Hall. Wave Hill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a New York City designated landmark.

One of the most popular sites in Riverdale. A non-profit cultural institution located on 26 acres in the Bronx. There are studies and programs that explore the interaction between people and their natural environment. Through the maintenance of gardens, greenhouses and grounds, they offer environmental protection programs for residents and visitors. Both an urban garden and a scenic trail, the grounds are beautifully manicured. You can go for a walk or jog. The view over the Hudson River and Palisades is nothing short of magnificent. A real secret of the west Bronx. Don't miss it!
