Walking and biking along the Bronx River Pathway
One of the main draws to living along the eastern ridges of Yonkers is the Bronx River Pathway, which spans the neighborhood and leads south to New York City and north to Valhalla.

Garth Road Park, under a mile away, is a small green space with a stream, community garden, a playground and basketball court. Beech Hill residents wanting more parkland can head a few blocks east to access the nearly 280-acre Sprain Ridge Park. The park's has a county pool open from mid-April to mid-October, along with walking paths, a playground and other outdoor amenities.

Students may enroll in college courses through Roosevelt High School
Yonkers Public Schools receives a B from Niche and serves the Beech Hill area. While students may apply to attend any school in the Yonkers area through the district’s open enrollment program, many locals prefer the Casimir Pulaski School, located in Beech Hill, for prekindergarten through eighth grade. The school earns a B-plus. The nearest high school is Roosevelt High School Early College Studies, which receives a B and is listed as one of the top 10 best magnet high schools in New York.

Christmas tree lighting, block parties
“We have a neighborhood association,” says Ricciuti. “They’re very active in the community, so we have a Christmas tree lighting and a block party every year in September.” For larger-scale events, residents head to the Down to Earth Scarsdale Farmers Market near the Scarsdale train station. The farmers market is open on Sundays from May to November and offers locally sourced produce and artisan goods. Religious services are held at Faith Church New York, Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Our Lady of Fatima Church and others around the area.Commuters use Bronx River Parkway and Scarsdale station
Commuters use the Bronx River Parkway to reach New York City in about an hour and LaGuardia Airport, 20 miles west, in 50 minutes. Those wanting to avoid driving in the city use the Scarsdale train station, a mile away, to reach New York in under an hour on the Harlem Line. Bee-Line bus stops along Central Park Avenue take residents to other parts of Yonkers and Westchester County. For medical services, the NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester hospital is 3 miles away.Shopping and dining along Central Park Avenue

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
