Mount Vernon The City of Mount Vernon is located in the southern portion of Westchester County only 20 miles from New York City. It offers a wide variety of housing options for its very diverse population of over 80,000 residents and 90 different nationalities. Single family homes, multi-family homes, condominiums, co-operatives, and even many rentals are main attractions for the commuter’s dream that is Mount Vernon. Serviced by three Metro North train stations in only 4 square miles, almost all residents are able to walk to the train and to Bee Line bus stops on virtually every corner. The commute to Grand Central Station in the heart of New York City is only 27 minutes. Most of Mount Vernon’s homes are pre-war in traditional 1920’s style, with architectural details that are very unique to the area. They feature all the charm of yesteryear without the “Big City” prices or higher taxes of some other communities. The public school system consists of 11 elementary schools, two middle schools and a high school with strong academic programs, and an amazingly strong vocational program for any trade the student might like to explore. There are also 5 parochial schools available if preferred. Adult education programs are abundant. The Department of Recreation provides year-round activities such as basketball, baseball, football, track and golf to name just a few.
All religious faiths are represented, with most houses of worship located within walking distance of each neighborhood. Tree-lined and diverse, Mount Vernon is a wonderful place to call home.
