Getty Square is the energetic heart of downtown Yonkers, where landmark architecture meets a continually evolving waterfront. Steps from the Hudson, residents enjoy a walkable grid anchored by the centuries-old Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site, the daylighted Saw Mill River winding through Van der Donck Park, and river views from the esplanade. Weekdays buzz at the Yonkers Riverfront Library and the adjacent commuter hub at Yonkers Station, putting Midtown within easy reach. Families and eco-curious kids gravitate to Groundwork Hudson Valley’s Science Barge, an off‑grid floating farm that underscores the neighborhood’s green streak.
Education options are anchored by Yonkers Public Schools, with acclaimed programs at Yonkers Middle High School and Saunders Trades & Technical High School supporting STEM, IB, and career pathways. Day-to-day living is rich with global eateries, the downtown farmers market, and year-round cultural programming powered by the Yonkers Downtown/Waterfront BID. Getting around is seamless via the Bee-Line Bus network across Westchester County, plus bikeable streets and waterfront trails. Housing spans historic walk-up apartments, loft conversions in former factories, and new high-rise residences—offering choices for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors alike.
