Why Buyers and Sellers Look at Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon sits at the southern edge of Westchester County, directly north of the Bronx. That location gives it one of the shorter trips to Manhattan in the county.
The housing stock is varied. You will find prewar co-op buildings, especially in Fleetwood, along with Tudors, Colonials and Victorians, and many two- to four-family homes that appeal to buyers who want rental income.
For sellers, the right price depends on the block, the property type and the condition. I have worked in this market for more than 26 years, and I price every Mount Vernon home against the sales closest to it.
