Northwest Yonkers is a commuter haven an hour from Manhattan
Northwest Yonkers, in Westchester County, is 21 miles from New York City, and offers a variety of housing options, from brightly painted single-family Victorians to brick-sided co-ops near two train stations. “There’s a lot of people who are coming up from the city and moving into Westchester,” says Dennis Aboagye, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty who has been selling homes in the area for three years. Many commuters settle here, wanting access to the city without living in Manhattan.
Views of the Hudson River from condos and single-family homes
The neighborhood is hilly and mountainous, starting at the waterfront and rising steadily, ensuring many homes have windows facing the sun as it sets over the Hudson River, nicknamed ‘America’s Rhine.’ Homes are organized within a residential pocket bordered by industrial and commercial areas to the east, and a shopping mall and nature preserve to the north. Victorian, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and custom homes range from $700,000 to over $1 million, while split-level, minimal traditional and Cape Cod styles range from $400,000 to $675,000. Multifamily homes range from $700,000 to over $1 million. Co-ops are organized in large brick buildings, costing $375,000 to $650,000. Condos and townhouses range from $400,000 to $675,000.

Saw Mill River Parkway cuts through the area, and commuters use the roadway to reach New York City in about an hour. “Now, if you’re a commuter and don’t have a car but want to get into the city,” says Aboagye. “Take the six bus to the waterfront and catch the train.” Northwest Yonkers has two train stations, Greystone to the north and Glenwood to the south; both reach the city in less than an hour on the Hudson line. Interstate 87 borders the area and leads to the Ridge Hill mall and LaGuardia Airport, 18 miles away. St. John’s Riverside Hospital is in the region and provides medical services.
