Dunwoodie

College Students

Although Yonkers doesn’t have the feel of a traditional college town, it’s still home to Sarah Lawrence College and many students choose to live in the city as opposed to commuting in from NYC. This area feels like the Bronx, so it’s great for people who want walkability, convenience, and easy access to restaurants and bars.
