Sleepy Hollow's infamous headless horseman is (allegedly) fictional, but the village itself is quite real, and located just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge in Westchester County. With a population of around 9,870, Sleepy Hollow is indeed sleepy. It's home to gorgeous historic mansions as well as the even grander colonial Philipsburg Manor and Kykuit, the former Rockefeller estate, which is now a museum with art galleries.
Of course, all that grandeur comes at a price—according to Trulia, the median home price is $735,000 and that's expected to climb. Still, compared to Manhattan prices, you get a lot of space for that amount. Take for example this four-bedroom, four-bath colonial, which is about a four minute walk from the church, now on the market for $889,000.

Sleepy Hollow is less than an hour's drive from New York City, or you can take Metro-North's Hudson line from Grand Central Terminal to Philipse Manor, in Sleepy Hollow, which also takes a little less than an hour.
