This is a lively area of the Bronx. Is considered the Morris Park section of the Bronx and there are nice Italian restaurants within walking distance along with several small Albanian, Jamaican and Chinese food restaurants as well. Along with Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts there are 2 grocery stores for your shopping needs. While this is an urban it isn’t necessarily quiet it is a diverse and safe area. We are also very close to Arthur Ave which is considered the more authentic Little Italy of NYC. We are also near the New York Botanical Gardens and Bronx Zoo. We are near the 2/5 subway lines and express buses that will take you to midtown Manhattan within 45 mins. There are also a few parks and playgrounds within walking distance for kids.
