Clason Point offers car-friendly living and ferry access in the Bronx

Clason Point is a unique place with enjoy abundant greenery, East River views and ferry access to Manhattan, just blocks away from the urbanized East Bronx. “Soundview is a very residential-vibe area. You have a ferry point at Clason Point, and it’s a nice park,” says Emran Bhuiyan , a licensed real estate broker and CEO of Emran Estates Realty. “I sometimes myself 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 peninsula’s Soundview waterfronts have been transformed into large parks that feature baseball fields, trails and the Soundview ferry terminal. White Plains Road offers local conveniences from a supermarket to Latin American eateries. Clason Point has an almost suburban feel, as many residents live in single-family homes and own cars.

Single-family homes share Clason Point with gated communities

While 60% of Clason Point’s residents live in rented apartments, much of the neighborhood consists of single-family homes and townhouses. “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,” Bhuiyan says. Many single-family homes were built from the 1920s to the 1950s. “We see a mix of both ‘ready to move in’ and renovated, or also needs some work,” Bhuiyan says. Clason Point stands out for its abundant parking spaces, making it a prime destination for Bronxite car owners. “Even if you come 10-15 minutes closer to more subways, like Parkchester, finding parking can be hectic. Soundview is one of the neighborhoods where finding parking is never an issue,” Bhuiyan says.

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 than 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 Clason Point is home to Clason Point Park, where commuters can stroll along waterfront paths as they wait for the Soundview ferry to arrive at the pier. 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 205-acre Soundview Park includes a track-and-field course, playgrounds, waterfront paths, a dog park and an amphitheater that hosts an annual music festival. Residents can also try their green thumb at the Harding Park Community Garden.

Clason Point attracts Bronx homebuyers for its affordability

Townhouses mostly cost between the lower $400,000s and the upper $500,000s and multi-family homes tend to sell from the low $700,000s to nearly $1,100,000. Single-family residences run from the mid-$300,000s to the mid-$700,000s and are mostly 1920s-1950s construction. “Soundview has pretty much everything in terms of options. That’s one of the reasons why many buyers are interested, and it’s a growing community right now,” Bhuiyan says. Clason Point’s median sale price of $515,000 roughly midway between neighboring Soundview’s $358,000 and Castle Hill ’s $717,000. “There are not too many homes in people’s budgets around Parkchester, so people started to move into Soundview and Castle Hill,” Bhuiyan says. “Four or five years ago, people were hesitant to move there but, now, people are moving there more than before because of the affordability.”
