Wakefield

Wakefield sits at the northern edge of the Bronx with a mix of detached single-family Victorian homes, two-family brick houses, and low-rise apartment buildings along quiet residential streets. The 2 and 5 trains terminate at East 241st Street, and the Metro-North Harlem Line at Wakefield station provides a second commuter option to Grand Central. Van Cortlandt Park, one of the city's largest green spaces at 1,146 acres, offers extensive trails and recreation nearby.
