Briarcliff is a hidden gem as a small village surrounded by larger towns and cities. The "downtown" is well maintained with some great food and shopping where you'll soon become known as a regular customer. But if you want large chain stores instead of family owned & run, you can travel to nearby communities of Ossining, Millwood, Croton, Chappaqua, Pleasantville, Thornwood, Hawthorne, and Tarrytown in 10 minutes or less. As a Briarcliff resident you get the advantage of small, friendly neighborhoods and strong local "small-town" pride with easy access to shopping & commercial centers just outside the village.
