The Bronx includes dense transit-served neighborhoods, waterfront communities, historic districts, and some of the city's largest parks.
Housing in The Bronx
Large apartment buildings, co-ops, new development, rowhouses, and detached homes all appear across the borough. Riverdale, the South Bronx, and the eastern Bronx should be evaluated as distinct markets.
Getting around
Subway, express bus, and Metro-North options create different commute patterns. A rail station can matter more than straight-line distance from Midtown.
