What You Need To Know About Yorktown, NY Real Estate

Yorktown, NY is a town in northern Westchester County that is situated close to the New York-Putnam County border. In fact, Yorktown is attractive to New York City, especially because it offers a suburban atmosphere while only being 38 miles from midtown Manhattan.

Jefferson Valley Mall is the area’s major shopping center, featuring two floors and over 70 shops and eateries.

Thinking About Buying a Home in Yorktown?

Yorktown, which includes Yorktown Heights, is a popular next-phase location for many who’ve spent their growing years in southern Westchester County, because many would-be buyers feel they get “more bang for their buck” by going 30-40 minutes north.

If you’re thinking about schools as a reason to purchase a home in Yorktown, you may already know that the Yorktown Central School District is highly sought after—it was named “School District of Character” in 2016.

Yorktown has a newly revitalized downtown area that is home to several eateries and coffee shops. Additionally, Yorktown has a very historic heritage. Many years ago, much of Yorktown was part of the manor of Cortlandt—now known as Cortlandt Manor—which was established by King William III in the seventeenth century.

Uniquely, Yorktown is a Monarch Butterfly Town. The town started a butterfly sanctuary in June of 2020.

In fact, here’s a short list of reasons you should be able to quickly sell your home:

  • Commuters can be in New York City in about 52 minutes
  • A very rare full-day pre-kindergarten program and highly regarded Science Research Program in the high school
