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.

What it’s like to live in Throgs Neck
Maritime character defines Throgs Neck, where this Bronx peninsula extends into the East River creating a surprisingly suburban feel within New York City limits. Residents enjoy waterfront parks, authentic Italian restaurants along East Tremont Avenue, and more parking than typically found in New York neighborhoods. Though public transportation options are more limited than central Bronx areas, the trade-off comes in larger living spaces and water views rare in the city. The neighborhood's strong Italian-American heritage manifests in summer street festivals and family-owned businesses spanning generations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Apartments for Rent in the Bronx

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. Size, quality and amenities vary considerably. You may end up in a turn-of-the-century studio the size of a closet, where the only amenity is electricity, or you could enjoy a modern two-bedroom apartment with hardwood floors and wonderful views, perched on top of a tower with a heated pool, rooftop deck and doorman.

The only way to be sure of what you're getting is to visit. Time your tour for when everyone else is at home in the building, so you get a sense of how active the community is and how peaceful your potential place is going to be. Paper-thin walls may force you to listen to sweet-nothings from the lovebirds next door and inadequate ventilation may clue you in to who's eating pasta again tonight.

Average Rent in the Bronx

The following rent averages come from current listings on our website. Rent prices listed are averages and may not reflect the cost of specific units. Rental prices can vary depending on factors like size, location, amenities, and availability.

Transportation in the Bronx

In the Bronx, much like NYC in general, you can get just about anywhere using public transportation and your own two feet. In fact, many see owning a car in NYC as more of a liability than a convenience. With that in mind, here’s a few things you should know about the MTA:

Subways and Buses: The MTA operates a vast network of subways (trains) and buses that cover all five boroughs (New York City is made up of five distinct boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island).
MetroCard or OMNY: To ride the subway or bus, you'll need a MetroCard (a reloadable fare card) or contactless payment through OMNY (available with most smartphones or credit cards). Both options allow you to pay-per-ride or purchase unlimited ride MetroCards for a set period.
Subways: The subway system runs 24/7 and consists of numbered lines (1, 2, 3, etc.) and lettered lines (A, B, C, etc.). Each line has its own route and stops throughout the city.
Buses: Buses offer another convenient option, especially for reaching specific locations within a borough. While some routes operate 24/7, most follow daytime schedules.
Transfers: With a single MetroCard swipe or OMNY tap, you can transfer between subways and buses within a two-hour window, allowing you to reach various destinations using a single fare.
Quick Note: The left side of the subway escalator is for those rushing, stay on the right side if you’re feeling like a casual stroll.

Pet-Friendly Apartment Hunting in the Bronx

Finding a pet-friendly apartment in New York City can feel overwhelming, but don't despair! While the city boasts a vibrant mix of cultures and energy, pet policies can vary significantly.

Weight restrictions: While dogs are popular even in the busiest parts of the city, be aware that many buildings (especially high-rises) have weight limits for pets, often stricter than other locations.
Building size and amenities: Larger buildings and those with dedicated pet amenities like dog runs are more likely to be pet-friendly.

The good news? New York City offers a surprising number of pet-friendly options. Here are some resources. Furthermore, major rental listing websites like Apartment List allow filtering by pet-friendliness. Simply select “Dog-Friendly” or “Cat-Friendly” in your preferences when you start your search.

FAQs About Living in the Bronx

Still have questions about renting in the Bronx? Here are some of the most commonly posed queries by renters.

Is the Bronx or Queens More Expensive?

According to our rental estimate data, the Bronx is slightly more affordable than Queens, with one-bedrooms in the Bronx averaging around $2,250 a month compared to $2,923 in Queens.

Why Are Co-Ops Popular in the Bronx?

Co-ops may look superficially like apartments because some are located in low-rises and skyscrapers. They may also act like condominiums because units are individually owned. They're their own animal, though, so you better be aware of the differences if you score one as your rental home.

Co-ops are membership entities that grant each owner the right to occupy a unit. If you rent a co-op, just as with any private lease, you'll most likely negotiate with a single individual. However, you'll also need to contend with a board of elected representatives, who have the final say in who lives in the complex. If the reps meet only once a month, which is typical, you may need to wait that long to get your application approved.

What Is the Bronx Famous for?

The Bronx has two strong contenders for its claim to fame:

The birthplace of hip-hop: The Bronx, particularly the South Bronx, is widely recognized as the cradle of hip-hop culture in the 1970s. This influential movement in music and art continues to shape popular culture today.
Home to the New York Yankees: For baseball fans, the Bronx is synonymous with Yankee Stadium, the longstanding home of the legendary New York Yankees.

Neighborhoods in the Bronx

The number and boundaries of Bronx neighborhoods grow more indistinct with each new population and urban development. The City Planning Commission tallies 49 hoods, the borough president claims that there are 61 and the Mayor's Community Assistance Unit counts 68, according to a New York Times article. The following are just the two major divisions of the borough, each having many smaller neighborhoods.

East Bronx

A relatively flat area lying east of the Bronx River, the East Bronx includes such neighborhoods as Pelham Bay, Parkchester, Van Nest, Morris Park and Eastchester. The housing options include single-unit homes, older tenements, public housing complexes and five-story apartment buildings. The nautically inspired city island looks very much like a fishing village in New England and contains several marinas, yacht clubs and boat yards.

West Bronx

This hillier expanse rises in both elevation and desirability, like in the lush park and forest greenery of Riverdale. This neighborhood is known for its early 20th-century mansions, although it also contains more modern smaller homes and apartment buildings. In contrast, the South Bronx is one of the more affordable, and some say, least desirable, areas of New York, with high-density apartment towers, multi-unit dwellings and public housing developments. Other neighborhoods in the West Bronx include Bedford Park, Woodlawn, Port Morris, Belmont and University Heights.

Living in the Bronx

While the urban delights of Manhattan are nearby, there's also plenty to do in the Bronx itself.

One of the best places to drop your dough is at the Hub, where East 149th, Third, Willis and Melrose meet in the South Bronx. You'll find almost everything in this bustling business district, ranging from toy trucks to big-screen TVs. This miniature Times Square also boasts theaters and more risqu forms of evening entertainment. The Bronx Terminal Market puts big-box stores, like Home Depot and Staples, in one location. For a selection of individual boutiques and well-known chains, try Fordham Road.

For fun that's less strenuous on the wallet, head for Pelham Bay Park. With 600 acres, it's New York City's largest park property and boasts 13 miles of saltwater shoreline, as well as two golf courses and lots of hiking and horse trails. Bronx Park schools you in plants at its New York Botanical Gardens and in wild creatures at its Bronx Zoo.

Get a taste of people power through the community's many events. Catch the Bronx Culture Trolley on the first Wednesday evening of each month for a quick dip into the borough's hot spots. The Salsa Fest offers international flavor in a month-long celebration of south-of-the-border entertainment, art, food and drink. Cheer the participants or ride your own two wheels in the Tour de Bronx, which encourages a non-race through a 25-mile or 40-mile route. Finally, the City Island Arts and Crafts Fairs put together the best in juried artwork for sale as often as twice a year.

Almost everyone in the Bronx is carless and gets around on the subway, which stops at over 70 stations. If you want to travel above-ground by rail, hop on the Metro-North commuter trains from 11 stations. The Metropolitan Transit Authority offers over 40 local and a dozen express buses.

Those who prefer to travel privately can take their wheels to Manhattan on three major north-south avenues: Third, Park or Broadway. (East-west thoroughfares are easier to track because their names start with East or West, depending on their side of Jerome Avenue.) Connecting with other areas are seven limited-access highways, such as the New England Thruway to Connecticut, the Bronx River Parkway to Westchester County and the Major Deegan Expressway, part of I-87 all the way to the Canadian border.
