Nestled on the Hudson River, Northwest Yonkers is a sprawling part of the city that’s home to Untermyer Park and Gardens. Since 1912, this landscaped park has offered pristine gardens and views of the river. Other unique attractions to the area await, such as the Hudson River Museum, a cultural complex hosting art galleries, history and science exhibits, lectures, a planetarium, and more. Northwest Yonkers sits approximately 16 miles north of Manhattan for those intending to commute.

Although roadways are an option, there are also several train stations along the river as well. The neighborhood is minutes from Sprain Ridge Park, Tibbetts Brook Park, Van Cortlandt Park, and even the New York Botanical Garden. Apartments in this walkable neighborhood are more expensive than other neighboring areas, but there are affordable options available as well.
