Neighborhood Reviews
Cottage-like Tudors and multifamily homes from $700,000
“Morris Park is divided into two areas. The north part, called Indian Village, has classic Tudors, and properties there have more land,” Balidemaj says. “The south side is more congested and has more two- and three-family homes.” Throughout the neighborhood, Colonial-inspired single-family homes start at $600,000, and semi-detached Tudors start at $650,000. Larger detached colonials and corner-lot properties are priced at $700,000 and above, and a small number of estate-style houses can go for as much as $1.3 million. According to Balidemaj, new housing construction is rare. “People usually renovate, but they don’t knock down.” Multifamily homes, many of which are red-brick, semi-detached properties, are priced from $700,000 to $900,000. Detached multifamily homes range from $1 million to $1.3 million. In the area’s only condominium building, units are priced from $300,000 to $400,000.

Pocket parks, green walking spaces and a major Bronx nature area
Near the center of the neighborhood, Loreto Park has playgrounds, basketball courts and a well-kempt running track around a soccer pitch. Along the north end, the Mosholu-Pelham Greenway has a 2-mile walking path next to busy roads. And to the west is the 718-acre Bronx Park, giving residents immediate access to open green space and athletic fields. Farther west, the park becomes the Bronx Zoo, and to the north it becomes the Botanical Garden.

Above-average public schools and a top-ranked charter
Morris Park is within District 11 of the NYC education system, which received an overall B-minus grade from Niche and an A-minus grade for its teachers. Local students in kindergarten through eighth grade can attend P.S. 83, which has a B grade from Niche. Icahn Charter School, another local K through eight option, has an A-minus. Just north in Allerton, the Collegiate Institute for Math & Science is a high school with a B-plus grade.

Celebrating Italian-American history
Since 1977, the Morris Park Community Association has organized an annual Columbus Day parade on Morris Park Avenue. Neighbors cheer on marching bands, floats and the parade’s grand marshal, and in recent years, the event has culminated in a children’s carnival at Loreto Playground.An express subway and soon-to-be commuter station
From the Morris Park subway station in the neighborhood’s northwest corner, the 5 express train stops along Manhattan’s east side and reaches Grand Central Terminal in 40 minutes. A new Metro-North station, planned to open on the east side in 2027, will offer an even quicker commute to Midtown and the option to travel upstate on the New Haven line.Old-school Italian eateries
Great Italian food is easy to find in Morris Park, with both casual and white-tablecloth options on the two main business districts. Williamsbridge Road, which runs north and south through the center of the neighborhood, has Enzo’s and Pasta Pasta, two decades’ old eateries. Morris Park Avenue, the central east-west throughfare, has more old-school joints like Patsy’s and Patricia’s, as well as bodegas and restaurants serving other cuisines. On the neighborhood’s western edge, there’s a CTown for grocery shopping.

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.

Niche Review
I feel pretty safe in my area. I do not hear police sirens. I live in an area that's mostly old people, so it's usually pretty quiet. The only noises I hear is fireworks whenever a New York team wins.

Very safe neighborhood with a diverse demographic. Excellent place to start a family ( many young families have also been moving in.)

most areas of morris park are pretty quiet, the areas around the edges, but now towards the middle, there's a lot going on. there's been a good amount of crime reported and i just wish the area was safer to be in.
