Pelham Parkway

Bronxdale doesn’t exactly look like the loveliest neighborhood, and with neighborhoods you can usually feel free to judge them by their covers. There are a lot of empty lots around the neighborhood, and the careless (as in, non-artistic) graffiti and run down streets do not make for the most welcoming sight. The fact that housing is relatively cheap here is not a very good sign for the neighborhood, either, though it makes for decent housing for students of the nearby campuses (one of which is Columbia, which isn’t too far from the area). This neighborhood is extremely residential (though not in a warm, welcoming residential sort of way), meaning that there aren’t a lot of shopping commodities to be had. Tourists – just don’t even think about it.
