National study of renter’s satisfaction with their cities and states
Apartment List has released results for the Bronx from the second annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. The survey, which drew on responses from over 30,000 renters, provides insight into what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the 105 million American renters nationwide.
“Bronx renters expressed high dissatisfaction with their city,” says Andrew Woo, Director of Data Science at Apartment List. “They gave below-average scores to most categories.”
Key findings in the Bronx include the following:
Waterfront serenity defines this peninsula offering sunset views from Bayswater Park's fishing pier. Renters face 45-minute subway commutes but enjoy weekend escapes via the NYC Ferry's Soundview route.
















Academic energy permeates this enclave surrounding Fordham University's Gothic Revival campus. Renters enjoy authentic Italian markets along Arthur Avenue but contend with match-day crowds flooding Metro-North stations during Yankees home games. The New York Botanical Garden's holiday train show draws winter visitors who temporarily overwhelm street parking.
Surrounding the iconic Bronx Museum of the Arts, Concourse blends history with affordability near multiple subway lines. Many apartments occupy pre-war buildings with art deco details and surprisingly spacious layouts. The neighborhood offers excellent access to Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Zoo, and Manhattan via the B/D trains, though some areas remain in transition requiring urban awareness.
