Waterside Bronx neighborhood that celebrates its diversity
Castle Hill is a residential neighborhood in the southeast section of the Bronx known for its close communities and convenient highway access to Manhattan. Situated along the banks of Westchester Creek, pockets of Castle Hill deliver views of the East River. The neighborhood has attracted diverse communities of immigrants from areas like Bangladesh and Pakistan, reflected in the vibrant eateries and houses of worship, including churches and mosques, found along Castle Hill Avenue. “It’s a melting pot of people,” says Marithza Mcfadden, a Bronx native and agent with Keller Williams Realty NYC Group. As with other areas of the Bronx, families try to live close to one another and properties are often passed to relatives. “The Bronx is pretty much people saying, ‘I want to stay close to my family.’ So, they’ll pass on the house to someone that’s in the family,” Mcfadden says.

Multi-family brick homes and Bridgeview on the Water
Colorful awnings peak out from the rows of brick homes along Castle Hill Avenue. “There are a lot of multifamily homes,” says William Beltran, a realtor with Douglas Elliman. “Some homes even have an extra basement apartment that people like to use as an in-law suite.” Two-family houses are most common, though in high demand and typically cost between $650,000 to $885,000. The Castle Hill Houses include 27 low and mid-rise brick buildings that are part of NYCHA, between Lacombe and Seward Avenues. On Zerega Avenue, Bridgeview on the Water is a gated community of Mediterranean-style villas, with townhouses selling for $920,000 to $1.2 million and offering views of the East River and the Whitestone Bridge.

Waterside views at Pugsley Creek Park and Castle Hill Point
Pugsley Creek Park stretches nearly 84 acres on the southern edge of the neighborhood along Westchester Creek. Walking paths hug the waterside and offer scenic views of wetlands and marshes, while paddlers launch their kayaks and canoes into the river. The park, which also features a baseball field, connects to Castle Hill Park on the neighborhood’s southern tip, also known as Castle Hill Point. Here, areas allow for fishing and additional water recreation. Less than a mile to the west, Soundview Park spans 269 acres and includes a running track, amphitheater, and plenty of green space. The Castle Hill YMCA is also a community gathering place which has indoor and outdoor pools, fitness classes and programming.
