"Beautiful area for families"
We walked down this street and found that there is a huge family feel. There are several culdesacs located off the main road that have kids playing and people cutting their grass. It is mainly residential and borders the woodlawn section of the Bronx.

"It's Like Mayberry"
When I visited Yonkers, this was my favorite area. It kind of reminded me of a modern mayberry. There were families playing in the yard, Young teenage boys playing basketball in a culdesac right off the main road. This area is mostly residential, and I believe there is an elementary school along this street to. Perfect for a young family!
"Most important place to visit"
S. Broadway is a very important place in the city of Yonkers. It contains and leads to most of the cities biggest attractions. The Historic city hall is on South Broadway. Farther north you will find the way to the train station, the Yonkers library, and the beautiful Lenior Preserve.

"Home of Uricks"
Roberts ave has long been known as the end of Yonkers because it borders the Bronx. However this quiet neighborhood is a haven for people wishing to step back in time. A large attraction of this road is Uricks which is a ole timey soda fountain! Its also the home to one side of the Hudson River Museum, which resides at the corner of Warburton and Roberts.

"A Historican Wonderland"
Ashburton Ave is by far one of my favorite streets in the United States to stroll down. First of all if border the beautiful Hudson River. Secondly the homes in the area are mostly Victorian homes with gorgeous views of the Palaisades. This area is rich in historic preservation. I highly recommend that everyone should at least take a drive through the area. It will truly leave you in awe of the beauties that most modern home builders do not bother with anymore.
