I'm new on here i see everyone has some good advice. So I am thinking of moving to yonkers. i just got my section 8. and want to move. I'm currently living in the bronx, I don't want to move to far into yonkers just close enough where I can still be near Family and friends. Can you get a nice Apartment out there with section 8 and is there a nice area to live?
The only areas that accept Section 8 in Yonkers are in the Southwest portion of the city. That area isn't much better than most places in the Bronx. Lots of public housing and crime in that area.
I live in Southwest Yonkers. I am not crazy about it, but I feel it is better than the bronx. Crime is everywhere. Even up north where the environment is supposed to be better quality of life. From what I hear it is just as bad, with the robberies, pedifiles, and murders.
I agree with UKEKA... I also have section 8 attend Lehman College and work full time! Section 8 has helped me in many ways, as a single mother is hard to work full time and attend school. I live very close to Riverdale in the BX... and have section 8; you'll be surprise to learn where they will accept your voucher. If you have good credit and no default with court housing issues you should be good! Good luck!
