"Hidden gem in The Bronx"

Nice, clean and pretty green neighborhood. Ideal for families and professionals who look for a quiet neighborhood but don't want to move to the suburbs. You'll have more space for your money and will still living in New York. Diverse community, mostly Italians, Hispanics and Greeks. Not a good place for nightlife or entertaining beside the park, eating out it's ok (not as diverse as Astoria where I live now). Even if it's a long subway ride to Midtown, it's a reliable one. I lived there for two months and the only reason I moved was because I'm young and single, and was needing a more vibrant neighborhood with a lot of things to do and closer to Manhattan.

"Quality Living in the Bronx"

As you near this neighborhood you are also about to leave the city – it’s pretty far from the nightlife and the action on Wall Street. It’s a suitable enough seeming neighborhood, though, for those who are interested in settling down away from their nocturnal ways, and creating a family or just retiring from their family life. This area is not as suburban as you would think, being so far from the city, but it certainly isn’t Park Ave, either. The streets are clean here and the house fronts are welcoming and appear well maintained – though there aren’t many shops and restaurants that would interest anyone who wasn’t a resident.
