What are the best places to live in Yonkers?

I love New York City, but I feel like it’s time for something a bit more chill. I’ve heard that some of the areas north of the city are nice—what are some of the best places to live in Yonkers?

If you want to put a little distance between you and NYC but still be close enough for a visit,
Yonkers
is a great option—this safe and cozy suburb of tree-lined streets and lovely old houses is still close to the big city while offering a much quieter pace. Some of the best places to live in Yonkers are:
  • Getty Square: The downtown area of Yonkers, Getty Square is highly walkable and has lots of restaurants, shops, and transit options.
  • Southeast Yonkers: This area is just 15 miles north of Manhattan, so if you still want to be close to the bustle of NYC while living in a laid-back residential area, this is a great choice!
  • Cedar Knolls: If old architecture is your thing, this affluent burg is a National Historic Landmark and has some gorgeous early 20th-century homes.
No matter what area of Yonkers you decide to call home, make sure you add updating your
