What it’s like to live in the Bronx’s Concourse Village

Concourse Village is a South Bronx neighborhood whose midcentury co-op buildings are steps from Yankee Stadium and Grand Concourse attractions like The Bronx Museum of the Arts. Residents have access to transit connections across the borough and into Manhattan, but there are plenty of things to do closer to home. You can spend time at Joyce Kilmer Park or Franz Sigel Park, then walk to Bronx Terminal Market for shopping and dining. It’s a convenient home base for buyers who want city access and everyday amenities close by.

Co-ops for sale in the Grand Concourse Historic District

The neighborhood is home to the Grand Concourse Historic District, which includes Art Deco and Art Moderne co-op buildings along the Grand Concourse. Units range from studios to three-bedrooms, with some buildings offering 24-hour doormen, parking garages, on-site laundry and resident superintendents. Renters will find plenty of apartment buildings in the neighborhood, too. “Pretty much all of the homes around the Grand Concourse were torn down, and apartment buildings have been built,” says Matthew Bank, a licensed real estate broker with Bank Neary Real Estate. “It’s almost entirely an apartment building neighborhood now.”

Prices start in the mid-$100,000s for studios and reach the lower $600,000s for larger three-bedroom co-ops. Monthly maintenance fees generally range from around $900 to $1,600. Concourse Village’s median sale price is in the upper $300,000s, similar to the boroughwide median but lower than in Manhattan neighborhoods like Washington Heights. “I think people who buy in Concourse Village are searching for commutability and price point,” says Ariela Heilman-Faiola, an associate broker with Brown Harris Stevens who has lived in the area since 2006.

How residents commute from Concourse Village to Manhattan

Concourse Village is walkable and transit-friendly, so you don’t need a car to live here. It’s also closer to Manhattan than many people realize. “People come to visit their friends for housewarmings and parties, and when they come out of the subway, 99 out of 100 times they say, ‘I’m so early, I didn’t know you were so close,’” Heilman says. Residents can get around using:

  • The 4, B and D trains at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium
  • The 2, 4 and 5 trains at 149th Street–Grand Concourse
  • Metro-North trains at Yankees–East 153rd Street
  • Local and express bus routes
  • Citi Bike stations and bike lanes across the Harlem River
Depending on your starting point, the subway can get you to Midtown in about 20 minutes and to the Financial District in a little over 30 minutes. For residents with cars, the Major Deegan Expressway and Cross Bronx Expressway are nearby.

Living near Yankee Stadium and seasonal markets

Yankee Stadium anchors the neighborhood’s events calendar with baseball, soccer and other major sporting events. Game days and other events see a huge surge in the amount of traffic in the area, and residents here need to plan for road closures and other delays when the Yankees are playing. The Bronx Museum of the Arts features rotating exhibits and community programs, while the seasonal Bronx Borough Hall Greenmarket brings local farms and food producers to the Grand Concourse. The Bronx Night Market also fills East 161st Street and the Grand Concourse with food vendors, live music and performances on select dates.
