Yonkers is the fourth largest city in the State of New York and the largest city in Westchester County.
It is home to Yonkers Raceway, a harness racing track, and is also home to the Cross County Mall.
An old city, Yonkers has recently begun renovating the waterfront for housing. It is one of the most accessible communities to Manhattan.
Yonkers has four Hudson-Line Metro-North Railroad stations providing commuter service to New York City and is also served by Amtrak.
Several Harlem-Line stations are on or very near the city's eastern border. Bus service is provided by the Westchester County Bee-Line Bus System, and a MTA Bus Company express route to Manhattan.
