Yonkers' growing historic Waterfront neighborhood features new luxury high-rise apartments offering stellar views of the Hudson River and Palisades, gourmet restaurants, shops, parks, and 40 sculptures and art installations, just a 25-minute train ride to Midtown Manhattan.
The Hudson River Museum
The largest cultural institution in Westchester County, the Hudson River Museum is a multi-disciplinary complex that draws its identity from its site on the banks of the magestic Hudson River, and seeks to broaden the cultural horizons of all its visitors. The Museum also features a new open-air performance amphitheater and state-of-the-art Planetarium.
Untermyer Gardens
Designed by Beaux Arts architect Welles Bosworth nearly 100 years ago, Yonkers' Untermyer Gardens is a 43-acre public park and walled garden situated along the Hudson River in North Yonkers. One of the finest examples of a Persian Garden in the Western Hemisphere, the gardens, fountains and statues of Untermyer have undergone a recent restoration by the Yonkers Parks Department and Untermyer Gardens Conservancy.
