Port Morris Home for Rent

Port Morris in the Bronx is an evolving neighborhood with a mix of industrial and residential areas. Historically challenged by neglect and pollution, the area is now seeing significant investment and environmental improvements. Industrial warehouses are adopting solar energy, and there are plans to decommission or convert peak power plants. The neighborhood features Italianate and Greek Revival row houses, many with original prewar details, available at relatively low prices. Although residential sales have slowed recently, the proximity to Manhattan, just two-thirds of a mile away, adds to its appeal. Dining options are limited but notable, with Chocobar Cortés offering innovative chocolate dishes and Maisonetta serving French-Mexican cuisine. The Port Morris Distillery and Bronx Brewery attract visitors citywide. For groceries, residents often travel to nearby Mott Haven or take the 6 train to East Harlem. Educational options include Hostos-Lincoln Academy of Science, a highly rated middle and high school, and P.S. 48 Joseph R. Drake, which offers a dual language program and a rigorous music curriculum. The neighborhood lacks official green spaces, but plans for a new greenway promise future connectivity to Van Cortlandt Park and Randall’s Island. Public transportation includes several 6 train stops in Mott Haven and new Citi-Bike stations.
