Between the Bronx Park and top-ranked hospitals
With Morris Park’s low skyline and houses that have a little breathing room in-between, this neighborhood is noticeably less dense than Pelham Parkway to the west and Westchester Village to the south. A few tree-lined blocks with Tudor-style houses have a nearly suburban look, and just west is one of the Bronx’s biggest parks. Musa Balidemaj, a local broker at Elite Real Estate, moved here 27 years ago for the “safety” and “convenience,” he says. “There are three major hospitals in the immediate area, a safe community and proximity to public transportation,” he says. Next to the medical center on the east side, a planned Metro-North station will bring even more transit and housing opportunities to the neighborhood.
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.

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.

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.
The Mosholu-Pelham Greenway, on the north end of Morris Park, has tree-lined walking paths.

Celebrating Italian-American history

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.

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.

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.
