Winding residential streets north of Manhattan
Just under 25 miles north of the heart of New York City, Northeast Yonkers sits separate from the bustling metropolitan hubbub of the Big Apple. Its eastern half’s looping suburban streets are complemented by the massive, 278-acre Sprain Ridge Park occupying the western half, which is characterized by hiking trails and an expansive reservoir. “The trail along the Sprain Brook Parkway is very attractive to people,” says Clayton Jeffrey, an associate broker with Keller Williams NY Realty who's been selling homes for nearly 30 years. “There’s also one that goes up and down the Hudson River, and you’re a hop, skip and a jump from Ridge Hill.” An open-air mall lined with restaurants and shops, Ridge Hill Plaza also puts on movie nights, concerts and more. The appeal of Northeast Yonkers lies in the respite from city life offered by its quiet streets, which remain within the metropolitan area’s orbit for convenient commutes. “People look to move to Yonkers for a suburban lifestyle, yet they’re very close to the city,” Jeffrey says. “They like the affordability and taxes.”

Recreation at Sprain Ridge Park or near the Hudson River
Sprain Ridge Park occupies much of the western half of the neighborhood, serving as the primary recreational outlet for Northeast Yonkers locals. There are trails for biking and hiking through the wooded areas of the park’s 278 acres, as well as an 18-hole golf course and an outdoor pool. Visitors have to stay on the shores of the Grassy Sprain Reservoir if they want to fish; no boating or wading is allowed, and anglers need a permit to cast lines in the water.
On the edge of Sprain Ridge Park, Rory O’Moore Memorial Park has a baseball field for local youth teams to play and practice. “You can’t underscore the outdoor life,” Jeffrey says. “The Bronx River Parkway is usually closed from Yonkers all the way to the Kensico Reservoir. They call it Bicycle Sunday – whether you want to run, blade, ride or push a trolley, whatever you want to do.” Bicycle Sunday has been around for half a century and operates on a stretch of the parkway spanning 6.5 miles. Skaters visit the E.J. Murray Memorial Skating Center’s indoor ice rink, and extreme athletes head to Yonkers Skatepark's concrete bowl and ramps.

Lego creations and indoor skydiving
One of Ridge Hill Plaza’s most notable attractions is the Legoland Discovery Center Westchester, which has rides, interactive showcases, a 4-D theater and, of course, places for visitors to build Lego creations. Across the street, thrill-seekers hover at iFly Indoor Skydiving. “You see people come up from the city for that,” Jeffrey says. “I was talking with a woman from Brooklyn recently about sky jumping, and she compared it to the iFly at Ridge Hill. That complex is a huge attraction to the area.”
An annual St. Patrick’s Day parade is another staple of the Yonkers area, which has significant Irish heritage. “They have one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day parades in the area, and it’s a whole party on that weekend,” Jeffrey says. Cultural and seasonal celebrations are among the frequent events in the area, including the annual McLean Fall Festival and Yonkers Riverfest.

A neighborhood outlined by major roads
The Sprain Brook Parkway flanks the reservoir, splitting on the southern end and merging back on the northern side. Both sections run through Sprain Ridge Park, and it encompasses nearly 13 miles starting in Yonkers. Locally, Northeast Yonkers is convenient to the city, which is about 25 miles south, though commute times depend on the mode of transportation and traffic. “Realistically, it’ll take an hour,” Jeffrey says of the journey to Midtown Manhattan, adding that buses on Central Park Avenue, North Broadway and Tuckahoe Road help passengers travel through the area and reach transportation into the city. “It’s about a 20-minute or half-hour drive to the subway, and anywhere in New York City is easy to reach.”
Interstate 87 forms the western edge of the neighborhood, running over 330 miles from the Bronx up to the Canadian border, with Albany among the stops on the way.
