"A lot of little conveniences and scenic too.."

Lived here for several years, and the biggest draws have always been the parks, access to public transportation, and relatively affordable rents/co-ops. Doctors offices available up to the Grand Concourse and whatever you can't find on the street is available right across the Parkway in Norwood. Easy and scenic walk to the Botanical Gardens.
Pros
  • Lots of green space available by Mosholu Parkway
  • Plenty of stores
Cons
  • Can be a little rough around the edges
  • Closer to the train yard, it is a little desolate
