==Postal code== Bronxville's 10708 [[ZIP Code]] covers the village of Bronxville proper, plus Chester Heights and other sections of Eastchester, parts of [[Tuckahoe, Westchester County, New York|Tuckahoe]], and Lawrence Park West, [[Cedar Knolls, New York|Cedar Knolls]], [[Armour Villa, Yonkers|Armour Villa]], and other sections of [[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]]. These areas are collectively known as "Bronxville P.O."<ref>{{cite web |title=10708 Zip Code |url=http://www.usa.com/10708-ny.htm |publisher=usa.com |access-date=October 29, 2014}}</ref> This brings the ZIP Code's population to 22,411 (2000 census), covering an area more than twice as large as the municipality of Bronxville itself and encompassing several institutions, including [[Sarah Lawrence College]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=10708 Zip Code Detailed Profile |url=http://www.city-data.com/zips/10708.html|website=www.city-data.com/ |access-date=October 29, 2014}}</ref><ref name="NY Times">{{Cite news |last=Gross |first=Jane |date=May 28, 2000 |title=County Lines; The Lure of a Bronxville Address |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/05/28/nyregion/county-lines-the-lure-of-a-bronxville-address.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=October 29, 2014}}</ref> Many of the residential properties located within Bronxville PO are within walking distance of Bronxville's downtown, but are officially within the municipal boundaries of the City of Yonkers. As such, residents of these areas do not pay Village of Bronxville property taxes, but cannot take advantage of the Village of Bronxville's nationally-recognized, elite public school system. These neighborhoods remain popular with families not requiring schooling for children, or who intend to send their children to private schools, such as those in Riverdale, Bronx, or religious schools in Yonkers or Bronxville. That said, the Yonkers Public school system has demonstrated dramatic improvement in student outcomes over the past two decades, and elementary schools located in Bronxville PO (and the neighboring Tuckahoe PO neighborhood of Yonkers) are more highly rated than many in Yonkers. All said, the greater Bronxville area comprises a larger population of more mixed income residents that is also more ethically and religiously diverse than those living within the Village itself. Many of Bronxville's downtown businesses rely on customers from these nearby neighborhoods, and many Bronxville business owners also live in neighboring Yonkers.
