Shopping centers near custom suburban properties
Beech Hill, 26 miles from New York City, is bordered by the highly sought-after Scarsdale and Eastchester. Residents of Beech Hill pay Yonkers prices but use the Scarsdale post office and many participate in Scarsdale community events. The suburban neighborhood is surrounded by foliage and hidden behind the Yonkers Gateway Center and the Central Plaza Shopping Center along Central Park Avenue. “The properties are very interesting, all custom built,” says Julia Ricciuti, a neighborhood real estate agent with Re/Max Prime Properties. These custom homes and Beech's more open, suburban atmosphere is why residents choose to settle in the area. Beech Hill combines the convenience of nearby shopping and dining with the appeal of custom properties in a suburban environment.
Custom homes along winding roads

Most properties are custom-built homes, while others are in the Tudor Revival or ranch-style with manicured front and back yards. Some have heated in-ground pools and fenced-in backyards. Bronx Hill is slightly elevated, and homes may offer views across Yonkers to the Hudson River and New Jersey to the west. Single-family homes range from $980,000 to over $2 million. The CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10. The national average is 4.
