There has been a particular increase in young professionals who are attracted by the area's relative affordability and convenient location. There are also executives who mainly live in the more affluent areas of Northeast Yonkers, such as Cedar Knolls or Lawrence Park. These more expensive parts of the town are closer to the railroad stations and have homes that are far more spacious. There are a few MetroNorth stops that you can access from Northeast Yonkers, making it quick and convenient to get to Manhattan. Even if you don't leave to go to the city, there is a lot to do right here in Northeast Yonkers. There are very cute and trendy stores and restaurants along Tuckahoe Road and Central Park Avenue. The population here is mostly white; it is dominated by the strong Irish and Italian communities here. However, there has been a small increase in the town's diversity over the past few years as more people have sought more affordable housing options.

Northeast Yonkers is more suburban than the rest of Yonkers. There are the typical moderately large houses that you find in most suburbs and it is more wooded. It's also very hilly and if you climb high enough there are some great views of New York City.

Sprain Ridge Park is close by and has some top rated trails. Some of them are a little tricky for beginners but they offer a good variety. There's also a pool here which is very convenient for residents of Northeast Yonkers. O'moore's Park, which is much smaller, has a baseball diamond and a little nature walk. If that's not your cup of tea then there's a country club right next to it.

This is probably the best part of Yonkers to start a family. It's definitely the more affluent part of the city and the houses can be on the expensive side.

There is a large Italian and Irish community but not much diversity past that.

In the heart of the residential area there aren't very many places to eat but once you get to Central Park Ave there are tons of restaurants and coffee shops. Because of the large Italian population there are some great pizzerias and pasta.
