Woodlawn Heights
Large colonial-style homes and co-op buildings
Single-family colonial houses cost between $499,000 and $750,000, depending on size. Larger two-family brick or colonial houses go for $835,000 to $990,000. Midcentury brick co-op buildings are common and a one-bedroom can run between $145,000 to $179,000. “Woodlawn Heights is very nice and very quiet,” says Bronx native William Beltran, a licensed real estate agent with Douglas Elliman. “It used to be a neighborhood on the down low that not many people knew about. But lately a lot of millennials are moving there for the big colonial homes.”

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
