A revitalized riverfront and film studio reshape Getty Square
As Yonkers’ downtown district, Getty Square has always been busy, but developments along the Hudson River and a Hollywood film studio are attracting new residents. Riverfront apartments have led to new parks and restaurants that complement the longstanding businesses around Main Street. Lionsgate at Great Point Studios has three campuses in Getty Square, creating jobs and bringing more business to downtown. The Yonkers train station is another draw for the area. “If you get an express, you go right into Grand Central Station, so you’re literally minutes into New York City,” says Kenneth Rabasco, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty who’s sold homes in the area for around 11 years. The 30-minute ride into Manhattan, which is around 14 miles away, makes Getty Square a popular spot for commuters to find lower rents outside of the city.
Residents can take a scenic stroll along the Alfred B. DelBello Riverwalk.

Apartments and condos overlooking the Hudson River
Most residents here rent apartments in high- and mid-rise buildings or multifamily properties with Italianate or Queen Anne architecture. Some of these are new, luxury apartments that overlook the Hudson River and have amenities like parking garages and fitness centers. “Everything new that’s being built right now is a luxury rental,” Rabasco says, adding that even though the buildings are considered luxury, rents here are less expensive than in Manhattan. Condos are also available, and some of these can have river views too. Prices for a studio or one-bedroom condo generally range from around $210,000 to $390,000, plus monthly homeowners association fees between $570 and $1,010 that cover heat and hot water. Some riverfront properties can be at high risk of flooding.
