Convenience defines the Bronx’s Parkchester neighborhood
Parkchester is an East Bronx neighborhood best known for its planned residential community, where brick Art Deco-style buildings and landscaped grounds surround the Metropolitan Oval. Beyond the complex, you’ll find blocks of multifamily homes that add more variety to the local housing options. Shops, restaurants and green spaces are woven throughout the area, while subway and bus connections make it easier to reach other parts of the Bronx and Manhattan. That mix of housing, walkability and everyday convenience draws buyers looking for a connected home base in New York.
Parkchester has condos, co-ops and multifamily homes
Condos make up most of Parkchester’s ownership market, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units in mid-rise and high-rise buildings. The Parkchester North Condominium and Parkchester South Condominium associations manage different parts of the community. Monthly common charges include heat, hot water and gas, with costs generally ranging from $700 to $1,400, depending on the unit. Condo prices typically fall between the upper $100,000s and lower $400,000s.
Beyond Parkchester’s condo buildings, buyers can find brick multifamily homes and a few co-op buildings. Multifamily properties generally sell from the upper $700,000s to around $1.3 million, while co-ops range from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $300,000s. The neighborhood’s overall median sale price lands in the mid-$200,000s, below that of nearby Van Nest and Westchester Square. That difference, driven in part by the large condo inventory, is one reason buyers consider Parkchester. “When you say Parkchester, everyone automatically thinks of the condos,” says Marithza Galloway , a Bronx native and broker associate with Real Broker NY.
Brick buildings surround landscaped courtyards throughout the planned community.
Multifamily homes add variety beyond Parkchester’s condo buildings.

Commuting to Manhattan by 6 train or express bus
Parkchester is walkable enough that you don’t need a car for most daily errands. “It’s great because everything is right there. You’ve got the 6 line, Macy’s and Starbucks. You’ve got so much in that little area,” Galloway says. The 6 train runs to Manhattan at all times, with limited peak-direction express service on weekdays. From Parkchester station, the trip takes roughly 40 minutes to Midtown and about 55 minutes to Lower Manhattan. Local buses connect the neighborhood to other parts of the Bronx, while the Q44 Select Bus Service runs into Queens. For a direct ride to Midtown, commuters can take the BxM6 express bus. Drivers are close to the Cross Bronx Expressway and the Bronx River Parkway.

Walkable shopping and dining in Parkchester
The neighborhood was designed as a city within a city, so you can shop, run errands and go out to eat without traveling far. Macy’s, Marshalls, Walgreens and smaller storefronts cluster around Metropolitan Avenue and Metropolitan Oval. More shops and services line White Plains Road, Westchester Avenue and Unionport Road, while Foodtown, Key Food and Chang Li Supermarket offer several grocery options. For fresh produce, stop by the seasonal Parkchester Greenmarket on Fridays. The dining scene is casual, with restaurants representing a range of cuisines:
Bangladeshi: Neerob Restaurant and Al-Aqsa Restaurant
American: Step In and Ellie’s Diner
Mexican: Taqueria Tlaxcalli and La Fondita
Dominican: Ajo y Oregano and Mirador Restaurant
Puerto Rican: Willie’s Steak House and Olivia’s Restaurant & Lounge
Macy’s has long been part of Parkchester’s commercial district.

I AM A NEW TENANT, MOVED IN ON SATURDAY 5/22/21. At the time of viewing the apartment I was promised some issues will be addressed before moving in. MY ISSUES WHERE NOT ADDRESSED. I had to call and schedule an appointment for my issues to be addressed. On hold for MORE THEN 30 MIN with the service department to only have a less than 5 min conversation. my appointment was scheduled, but not correctly. the job that needed to be done was not the job that was advised to the maintenance worker. he did not come ready to do the job I advised when scheduled the appt. So today same day as appt had to reschedule again. On hold again for more than 30 Min to have Raymond tell me he can't reschedule because the inspector need to see it and he is not available not this week or the Next. HONESTLY IF I WOULD'VE KNOWN THIS WAS LIKE THIS I WOULD'NT HAVE MOVED IN. PARKCHESTER SERVICE IS NOT WHERE IT SHOULD BE FOR THE AMOUNT OF TENANTS. THE OFFICE STAFF IS EVEN WORSE.

Parkchester is a pretty safe place. Occasionally you will have your hold ups in building lobbies, but there is security around the area that responds quick to any incidents of that sort. There is surveillance in the buildings. As mentioned before, you do have your occasional incidents, but we are in New York . We have to be realistic.
