Clason Point offers car-friendly living and ferry access in the Bronx
The Clason Point peninsula has abundant greenery, East River views and ferry access to Manhattan, just blocks from the more urbanized East Bronx. Along with neighboring Soundview and Castle Hill, much of the peninsula’s waterfront has been transformed into large parks that feature baseball fields, trails and a ferry terminal. Clason Point has an almost suburban feel, as many residents live in single-family homes and own cars. Plus, White Plains Road offers local conveniences, including a supermarket and Latin American eateries.
Affordability attracts homebuyers to the Clason Point peninsula
Clason Point’s median sale price of $515,000 is roughly halfway between Soundview’s median of $358,000 and Castle Hill’s median of $717,000. Emran Bhuiyan, a licensed real estate broker and CEO of Emran Estates Realty, says homebuyers were drawn to the area after prices started going up in nearby communities like Parkchester. “Four or five years ago, people were hesitant to move there, but now people are moving there more than before because of the affordability,” Bhuiyan says. While 60% of Clason Point residents live in rented apartments, much of the neighborhood consists of single-family homes and townhouses, including many single-family homes built from the 1920s to the 1950s. “We see a mix of ready-to-move-in and renovated, and also some needing work,” Bhuiyan says. “If you’re someone who’d like to stay in a gated neighborhood and be in the Bronx, Shorehaven is a gated community where you can live in a townhouse or condo with 24-hour security.” The peninsula also stands out for its abundant parking, a major draw for car owners.

Commuters come to Clason Point for ferry access
Wall Street-bound commuters can take the Soundview ferry to Wall Street Ferry Pier 11, a trip that takes around an hour. “Since the ferry came in, a lot of people are actually taking advantage of that. Even if they don’t live in Soundview, but they live close by, they prefer to take the ferry over the subway,” Bhuiyan says. Clason Point doesn’t have its own subway stations, but the 6 express train is a mile north. As many residents own cars, they can take the Bronx Parkway and several other nearby highways to access the rest of New York City.
Waterfront parks wrap Clason Point’s shoreline
The southern tip of the peninsula is home to Clason Point Park. “You have a ferry point at Clason Point, and it’s a nice park,” Bhuiyan says. “I sometimes go there with my family, especially in the summertime, just to see the water view. You can see Manhattan, and you can see the Queens side.” The Shore Haven Bikepath runs from the park’s entrance to a playground, basketball court, tennis court and swimming pool next to the Shorehaven Clubhouse. Pugsley Creek Park offers wetland trails, an outdoor fitness station and sites from which kayakers can set out on Westchester Street. The 200-acre Soundview Park includes a track-and-field course, playgrounds, waterfront paths, a dog park and an amphitheater that hosts an annual music festival. Green thumbs often head over to the Harding Park Community Garden.
