Yorktown Heights

Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the northern part of the county, Yorktown has managed to retain much of its country atmosphere in spite of economic growth. Conveniently located near Routes 35, 202, and 118 as well as the Taconic State Parkway, Yorktown provides a quiet and comfortable residential haven for many commuters to Manhattan. Nearby Jefferson Valley Mall provides expanded shopping options. Turkey Mountain, scenic Teatown Reservation, and the Hemlock Reserve all offer a wide range of outdoor recreational activities. These areas balance the urban amenities with an abundance of natural beauty and topographical diversity. The lively Yorktown Community and Cultural Center serves as a major activity hub for the arts and special events. The regional recreational opportunities include lush parks, sports facilities, golf courses, lakes, tennis courts, and country clubs.
