Our Take

This Bronx area offers great walkability, transit, and a short commute to Midtown, making it convenient for commuters. However, the cost of living is high relative to median income and the neighborhood is dense with noise and some crime concerns. If you value accessibility and high school quality, it’s worth a closer look, but be prepared for a pricey lifestyle.
