Our Take
The Bronx 10471 zip offers a decent commute to Midtown and some decent schools, but the area suffers from limited walkability, sparse nightlife, and moderate crime. It’s affordable for families who can tolerate a noisy, dense environment, yet it isn’t the best choice for someone seeking a quieter, more upscale lifestyle.
