Rowhouses and duplexes starting in the $700,000s
Renovated prewar Greek revival rowhouses feature open floor plans and ceilings with interior brick walls and outdoor spaces. Rowhouses with four bedrooms are listed for under $700,000. Investment opportunities for owner-landlords are also available. Two-family Italianate brick duplexes with separate apartments and several bedrooms are listed for under $900,000. Other detached brick rowhouses with original porticos and gated patios are listed for over $1 million. Hunts Point is a great place for home improvement aficionados, with original details in nearly every prewar home. Beautiful ornamentation like wainscotting and stained-glass doors have survived for a century.Charter schools and prep academies
Several promising charter schools have opened throughout the Bronx to address disparities in the educational system. The Bronx Charter School for the Arts is a fine arts-focused elementary school in Hunts Point. Girls Preparatory Charter School of the Bronx is a kindergarten through eighth-grade institution ranked in the top quartile of city schools by the New York City Department of Education. Longwood Preparatory Academy is an excellent high school ranked in the top 15% citywide.Food co-ops, local restaurants
Bringing 650 jobs to the neighborhood, the New Fulton Fish Market is open to individual buyers who can pay a small entry fee to buy fish straight from wholesalers for two-thirds less than what you'd pay at the grocery store. But you may want to go when it's still dark. It opens at 1 am, and most vendors sell out by 6 am. The fish market is one of three food co-ops that comprise the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center. The Hunts Point Produce Market is also open to the public. There are also several small independent grocers in the neighborhood. However, the Bronx has been traditionally underserved by grocery stores. Eater Magazine recommends Venice Restaurant, just a few blocks past the Bruckner Expressway that hems in Hunts Point. This Neapolitan restaurant has been in business since 1951. Hunts Point institution Mo Gridder's BBQ has been featured on the Food Network more than once. Boogie Down Grind Café celebrates the legacy of Bronx Hip Hop and the community that birthed it and is a local hangout in the neighborhood. New green spaces, such as Riverside Park, and refurbished older ones, such as the waterfront Baretto Point Park, are part of the renaissance of this section of the Bronx.Subway and bus stations nearby
While Hunts Point has its own subway station for the 6 train, it's just on the northwestern edge of the neighborhood, so residents living closer to the water may be better served by the expansive bus system of the Metropolitan Transit Authority. Energetic residents will be glad to know that thanks to a burgeoning new network of bike lanes, cyclists can be in Harlem in under 30 minutes. There are great water views on the ride.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love the warm community we have. There's a nearby program called "The Point," and they hold free events, programs for students, take pictures of the neighborhood, and overall bring everyone all together. I would like it if our safety improved, there's been a few incidents around the neighborhood of shootings and violence which can make it scary sometimes but thankfully isn't super common.

Hunts Point, although a food desert and not always safe, feels like home. You become comfortable within the neighborhood and the people. Access to the MTA is a big plus and Southern Boulevard is very close.
