Top neighborhoods in Bronx

Riverdale

Riverdale

What it’s like to live in Riverdale

Leafy sophistication characterizes Riverdale, where pre-war apartment buildings and historic mansions create a distinctly non-urban atmosphere despite Bronx location. Residents enjoy the extensive Wave Hill public gardens and the neighborhood's significant green spaces unusual for New York City. Though Manhattan commutes require planning via express bus or subway, the trade-off comes in more square footage, architectural character, and greenery than possible in most city neighborhoods. Many buildings feature Art Deco details and unexpectedly spacious floor plans that have attracted notable residents throughout the neighborhood's distinguished history.

Wakefield

What it’s like to live in Wakefield

Practical renters discover extraordinary value in Wakefield, where prewar apartment buildings offer significantly more space than trendy neighborhoods for a fraction of the price. The neighborhood sits at the Bronx's northern edge with quick Metro-North access to both Manhattan and Westchester employment, creating versatile commuting options beyond subway dependency. Most buildings include elevator service and laundry facilities – features commanding premium prices in Manhattan. The nearby Woodlawn Cemetery provides unexpected natural beauty with walking paths through immaculately maintained grounds, while Van Cortlandt Park offers extensive recreation facilities including New York's oldest public golf course. For best value, consider buildings along Carpenter Avenue, where well-maintained prewar properties often include utilities in rental costs – a significant budget advantage during expensive New York winters.

Living in Bronx, NY

Celebrated for both its up-yours attitude toward life and its pigheadedness in solving the latest social ills, the Bronx scatters the urban excitement and diverse population of New York City over wider and more affordable spaces. Unfairly characterized as a less-than-savory collection of tenement buildings, the borough also boasts architecturally awesome estates and about 7,000 acres of park land. Since the 1980s, large-scale community fixes have launched the Bronx on an upward trajectory and made it a great place to search for rentals.

While house rent in the Bronx is more affordable than Manhattan, if you're coming from out of the area, be prepared for sticker shock
