Crotona Park East Homes for Rent

Crotona Park in the Bronx is a neighborhood centered around one of the largest parks in the borough, offering residents extensive green space and recreational amenities. The 125-acre Crotona Park features a 300-foot swimming pool, a 3.3-acre lake with turtles and ducks, 20 tennis courts, five baseball diamonds, and 11 playgrounds. The area is well-serviced by several large supermarkets, including Western Beef on Southern Boulevard and Stop & Shop in the New Horizons Shopping Mall, which also houses various shops and services. Bravo Super Markets and Food Bazaar are additional grocery options for residents. Commuting to Midtown Manhattan is convenient with the 2 and 5 trains at 174th Street and Boston Road, and the B, D, and 4 lines within walking distance, making trips to 42nd Street and Wall Street relatively quick. Historically marked by urban decay, Crotona Park has transformed significantly, now featuring single-family ranch houses with driveways, yards, and even some with swimming pools. This unique suburban feel within the city is complemented by the neighborhood's safer-than-average crime rates compared to the national average.
