Historic streets and new development sit side by side in Mott Haven.
Mott Haven's industrial past meets waterfront revival
Mott Haven sits at the southern tip of the Bronx, bordering the Harlem River and just across the water from Manhattan. It's an old industrial neighborhood that's found a second life, with a growing arts scene, locally owned restaurants and bars and streets where murals double as an open-air gallery. A historic district of brick brownstones anchors the community, while converted warehouses and newer waterfront buildings give you a mix of places to live. What draws people here is the blend of creative energy and city access, since you can commute to Midtown while still coming home to a neighborhood with its own character.
From historic rowhouses to modern apartment buildings
This is a renter-heavy neighborhood, so if you’re looking to buy, the for-sale options can be limited. Most of the housing is on the older side. You'll find 19th-century brick rowhouses, plus a mix of two- and three-family homes that investors often use as rental properties. Three of the Bronx's historic districts are here: Mott Haven, Mott Haven East and Bertine Block, where blocks of well-kept rowhouses showcase some of the borough’s oldest architecture. Down by the water, newer rental towers have gone up as part of the area's redevelopment. Even with all of Mott Haven’s growth, there’s still a sense of historic charm here. “Mott Haven’s Historic Districts remain a vibrant residential enclave dating to the region's original phase of urban development,” says Katherine E. Khan, an associate landmarks preservationist with the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Former factories and warehouses have been converted into residential buildings.
Newer rental towers have gone up along the Mott Haven waterfront.

How much homes cost in Mott Haven’s renter-heavy market
When something does come up for sale, prices typically range from the upper $600,000s to around $1.3 million. Larger multifamily buildings tend to fall at the higher end of that range, though prices have been climbing across Mott Haven. “In my opinion, Mott Haven is the most up-and-coming neighborhood in New York,” says Levy Tewel, an NYC native and associate real estate broker. “It's like Williamsburg 2.0. There's a very similar transformation in Mott Haven, the waterfront, proximity to the city and many former industrial buildings being converted into luxury rentals.” Mott Haven's median sale price falls in the lower $700,000s, significantly higher than the boroughwide median but still lower than in Manhattan neighborhoods like Astor Row.

Where to eat, drink and shop in Mott Haven
Mott Haven has become one of the Bronx’s more talked-about spots for food and drink, mixing long-standing local eateries with newer restaurants near the waterfront. A lot of the action centers on East 138th Street, Bruckner Boulevard and Alexander Avenue, where you'll find everything from neighborhood pizzerias to trendy restaurants. On a typical day or night out, you might stop by:
La Morada, a family-owned Oaxacan spot known for its mole
Golden Pizza, an easy spot to grab a slice
Charlie’s Bar & Kitchen, a sophisticated space for New American plates
Hudson Smokehouse, a casual barbecue joint with smoked wings
Ceetay, a neighborhood favorite for sushi and creative rolls
There isn’t a big nightlife scene in Mott Haven, but there are cocktail bars like Talavera Cantina and The Lit. Bar, a combination bookstore and wine bar. For groceries and everyday errands, you've got a mix of independent markets, bodegas and larger stores like Western Beef Supermarket. There’s also The Hub, a major shopping district between Mott Haven and Melrose.
Mott Haven’s car-free commutes into Manhattan
Most residents go car-free. Mott Haven is one of the easier South Bronx neighborhoods to get around, due in part to its central location just across the river from Manhattan. You have access to:
The 6 train, which gets you to Midtown in roughly 25 minutes
The 4 and 5 trains at 138th Street-Grand Concourse, with express service into Manhattan
Bus routes that connect across the Bronx and into Manhattan
Citi Bike docks, bike lanes and the Randall's Island Connector
Major Deegan Expressway and bridges over the Harlem River
Mott Haven residents can take the subway to Midtown and beyond.
There are several bridges over to Manhattan from Mott Haven.
