Why people choose Yonkers

Yonkers is Westchester's largest city and one of its most varied housing markets. It sits right on the Bronx border with miles of Hudson River waterfront, four Metro-North Hudson Line stations and easy access to the Saw Mill, Sprain and Bronx River parkways. Buyers come for space and value compared to the city; sellers benefit from steady demand from New York City buyers moving north.
