I zillowed a rather drab house on the market in Yonkers. Asking price is $450K with property taxes of $9K. That house would likely fetch around $160K where I live. I couldn't even find a house listed for $200K, just condos. The median household income for Yonkers is about the same where I live. Something doesn't add up...
Ha ha ha ha - no kidding - thisis why people are fleeing N.Y. and myself included as soon as I can.
Yonkers, is literally the border city of NYC, 15 minutes to downtown NYC.
And yonkers is considered affordable compared to the rest of westchester.
I actually have a client wh pays 60k a year in taxes in scarsdale for a nice, ut not extravagant house.
