A blend of Manhattan and the Bronx
With a history of shifting topography and identity, the compact neighborhood of Marble Hill is named for the slopes and dolomite marble-rich soil on which it was built. Today, the neighborhood is connected to the Bronx, but that wasn’t always the case. “It’s technically part of Manhattan County because it wasn’t always physically connected to the Bronx. It was physically connected to the island of Manhattan,” says Compass agent Geoffrey Weiss, at Compass who specializes in Bronx and Upper Manhattan real estate. Buyers are drawn here by competitively-priced homes that often inspire bidding wars, as well as the proximity of the island of Manhattan to the south and, for some, the tony schools in Riverdale to the north.

Lower-priced Victorians and condos
Homes in Marble Hill include low- or mid-rise apartment and condominium complexes and detached single-families. Located on the neighborhood's west side, houses are mostly Victorians, with a few Italianate-style buildings mixed in. Detached homes list for about $800,000 to $1.2 million. Across the Major Deegan Expressway, the east side is predominantly occupied by the Marble Hill Houses, a complex of 11 low-income rental buildings. Co-ops can be found for less, starting at around $150,000 for a one-bedroom. Overall, inventory is scarce due to the area’s small size.

While officially part of Manhattan, Marble Hill is located in Riverdale’s Public School District 10.

I live in the NYCHA development (Bailey Houses) two blocks away from the Marble Hill NYCHA development. This neighborhood is close to a lot of great delis and superstores like Target and Marshall's. It hasn't been gentrified yet but it is safer than most neighborhoods with NYCHA developments. I love this neighborhood but I can't see myself living here forever.
