Community development plan bolsters Nodine Hill

The Nodine Hill of today, 19 miles from New York City, is a far cry from the Nodine Hill of the early 2000s. Considered one of the rougher areas of Yonkers, its challenges have included littered streets, unkempt sidewalks and neglected parks. But in 2006, the city created the Nodine Hill Master Plan and Urban Renewal Plan. One of the most visible changes to come from this plan have been the conversion of the low-income Parkledge Apartments five high-rises into rent-controlled units. Westhab, a community development organization, partnered with the city of Yonkers to create the Nodine Hill renewal plan and continues to help families find housing. The organization also turned an old church into the Dayspring Community Center in 2022 and opened the 63-unit Dayspring Commons housing development for those needing affordable or transitional housing. Proposals for more low-income housing units continue as redevelopment progresses.

Commuters use Saw Mill River Parkway and Yonkers train station

“One of the main reasons people move here is accessibility to the highways,” says Ramanjit Dhanoa, a local Westchester County broker with eXp Commercial. “It’s really near Saw Mill River Parkway, which leads to Cross County and 87.” Saw Mill River Parkway borders the neighborhood, leading to New York City in an hour or less. A swath of greenery between homes and the parkway muffles most traffic. The Yonkers station, 2 miles away, gets commuters to Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal in 40 minutes on the Hudson Line. Residents may walk into downtown and to the waterfront, which borders the area, in about 20 minutes, or hop on the Bee-Line bus system to reach Cross County mall and other areas of Yonkers. LaGuardia Airport is 16 miles South. For medical needs, NewYork-Presbyterian is 4 miles away along Saw Mill River Parkway.

Nodine Hill includes rowhomes and multifamily homes

“Another reason people move here is for the property because there’s some older homes and some new construction,” says Dhanoa. “Prices go from $500,000 up to $1 million.” Tall rowhomes and multifamily units in Colonial Revival and Postmodern styles border wide sidewalks. Some homes have fenced-in front yards bordered by trees, but most are built side by side and extend back into small lots with shared backyards. The area is primarily rentals and multifamily homes, with 15% of residents owning. The CAP Index crime score is 5 out of 10. While this is close to the national average of 4, violent crimes score an 8 out of 10. The Dayspring Community Center offers career prep, community service opportunities and youth programs.

Rowhomes are common on the steep streets of Nodine Hill.
