Gentrification in Yonkers? Pffft.

Yonkers used to be a nice little town, almost like a cross between an outer borough and the suburbs. Lots of working class and middle-class families. Let's just say it's gone downhill.





True.. very true.. still got some nice neighborhoods. . Crestwood, Colonial Heights, Bronxville Heights, etc.. bit it ain't what it used to be. .

Right. But every one of those neighborhoods borders the Tuckahoe/Eastchester/Bronxville line. And don't forget, Tuckahoe is a partial septic tank itself, especially by the train station. Give it a few more years, and some more government and section eight housing, watch what happens.

We're in Florida now. But my Dad lives in Lake Isle when we're up there. For now, anyway. He's 85 and slowing down. Anyway, Lake Isle is beautiful. But we're talking about Eastchester and an entirely different demographic.
