Highbridge Home for Rent

Highbridge, a predominantly residential neighborhood in the Bronx, is situated along the Harlem River just north of Yankee Stadium. Named after The High Bridge, a historic 19th-century aqueduct bridge, the area connects to Washington Heights and High Bridge Park in Manhattan, which features extensive green spaces, hiking trails, playgrounds, and an Olympic-sized pool. Highbridge itself is known for its parks, including the sizable Reverend T. Wendell Foster Park with sports fields and recreational facilities, Bridge Playground, and Nelson Playground. The Bronx Museum of the Arts is nearby in Concourse, adding to the local attractions. Housing in Highbridge consists mainly of mid-rise 1920s buildings with Art Deco elements, one- and two-family colonials, and contemporary brick low-rises. The neighborhood has a high rental rate, with only 5% of residents owning their homes. Co-ops are common, while detached colonials and multifamily properties are also available. Commuting to Midtown Manhattan takes about 40 minutes via the 4 train, and the area is well-connected by several major highways and bus routes. Jerome Avenue serves as the main commercial strip, offering a variety of dining options such as El Caldero and Don Sazon, as well as grocery stores like Fine Fare Supermarkets and Food Bazaar. The Bronx Terminal Market nearby provides access to big box stores. While local schools have mixed ratings, there are additional charter and private school options available.
