Mount Vernon is an ideal community for New York City commuters looking to save money on living arrangements-- historic houses and apartments rent for much less here than closer to Manhattan, and it’s only 30 minutes from Grand Central Terminal by rail. However, the city of Mount Vernon has been developing its own local economy for many years, with a strong commercial district on the south side of town. Nearby attractions include Pelham Bay and Split Rock golf Courses to the southeast and the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium to the southwest.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
