Neighborhood Profiles

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.

Gowanus

Gowanus features a striking mix of 19th-century brick warehouses, Greek Revival rowhouses, and new glass-and-steel condominiums rising along the canal waterfront. The F, G, R, D, and N/W trains are accessible at nearby Smith-Ninth Streets and Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street stations, with Atlantic Terminal a short walk north. Washington Park and the Old Stone House landmark anchor the neighborhood's green space, while a major rezoning is bringing thousands of new residential units and waterfront parkland to the area.
