I am a young, black female, currently working and living in NYC. I am thinking of purchasing a condo on Palisades Avenue in North West Yonkers. However, I've read some posts online stating that North West Yonkers has a history of racial issues and some posts state that the area is simply not safe.
I think the racial issues are from long ago. Safety probably varies where you are on Palisades Avenue. I would guess that as you get closer to Ashburton Avenue, it's less safe.
The best thing about the area is you get the most for your money in lower Westchester County. Also, downtown Yonkers has come a long way in the last 10 years. Check out the waterfront area near the train station. And more apartment development has been proposed.
