The Concourse neighborhood centers on the Grand Concourse, a 5.2-mile Parisian-inspired boulevard lined with the largest collection of Art Deco and Art Moderne apartment buildings in the United States. Five- and six-story prewar co-ops with wide entrance courtyards and ornamental facades define the streetscape, complemented by postwar mid-rises. The B and D trains run beneath the Grand Concourse, with the 4 and 5 trains at 149th Street-Grand Concourse, all providing express service to Manhattan.
