Proximity to schools, parks and shopping in the Bronx
Though Olinville tends to be a quiet, residential neighborhood in the Bronx, its proximity to commercial areas adds to its convenience, while the many local schools appeal to residents with kids. “Olinville is a working-class neighborhood that is close to transportation, lots of shops and plenty of schools,” says real estate broker Miriam Rosa of Metro Star Realty. “The neighborhood is especially great for families because of its proximity to schools.” Along with a variety of recreational opportunities and transportation options close by, Olinville offers an accessible lifestyle in the Bronx.

New complexes contrast with established brick rowhouses
Despite a recent rezoning law allowing the new construction of multi-unit buildings, Olinville remains distinct because of its housing stock, which mainly contains brick buildings and homes. Rosa says the neighborhood has mostly private, single-family homes, but more multi-family complexes are popping up. “A lot of new construction in apartment buildings is coming up, especially regarding rental units,” she says. “But the main avenues all have private homes, between one and three-family.” While a 1-bedroom apartment in a co-op building may start at $80,000 to $225,000, pre-war colonial townhouses and Renaissance-style homes can range anywhere from $445,000 to $1.2 million. Some rowhouses have been converted into duplexes or multi-family homes.

Plenty of schooling options in District No. 11
Olinville students are zoned for the city’s District No. 11. Though parents have a range of options within the district, they may opt to send their kids to PS 41 Gun Hill Road Elementary and Bronx Green Middle School. Both schools receive a C-plus grade from Niche and are only blocks away from the neighborhood. The local Bronx High School for Writing and Communication Arts earns a B-minus and is rated in the top 20% of schools in the city for its writing-heavy curriculum which focuses on both technical skills and creative writing. The B-minus-rated Bronx Lab School sits in the northeast corner of the neighborhood and is currently undergoing construction. “They’re renovating the school and expanding the school grounds,” Rosa says. “Once that reopens, they’ll have a lot of community events right across the street from the school.”
Green space at Shoelace Park, recreation at Williamsbridge Oval
Olinville residents benefit from having proximity to many outdoor spaces and recreational facilities in the Bronx. Shoelace Park extends along the neighborhood’s westside, hugging the Bronx River. The green sliver of space has a playground, and paddlers take to the kayak launch to access the river. Trails provide scenic trails for dog walking, biking or an afternoon jog. The park’s east-west trails enter Woodlawn Cemetery, the final resting place of famous New Yorkers like writer Herman Melville and jazz musician Miles Davis. Further west still is Van Cortlandt Park, a 1,200-acre tract that features winding trails along the Van Cordlandt Lake, the historic Van Cordlandt House Museum and various athletic facilities, including tennis courts, baseball fields and cricket pitches. Closer to Olinville, the Williamsbridge Oval has additional sporting courts and is home to the Williamsbridge Oval Recreation Center, which offers recreational programs for all ages. The southern section of Olinville borders the Bronx River Forest where lies the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo.
