A mix of rentals and condos in a long-established Parkchester
The East Bronx neighborhood of Parkchester is home to diverse immigrant communities and families who’ve resided in the area for decades. Much of the Parkchester neighborhood is devoted to the Parkchester residential buildings, originally built by MetLife and opened in 1938. While some of the buildings’ units are rentals, many are condominiums, managed either by Parkchester North or Parkchester South, with the Metropolitan Oval at the center of the complexes and built-in restaurants and retailers. “When you say Parkchester, everyone automatically thinks of the condos,” says Marithza Mcfadden, a Bronx native and agent with Keller Williams Realty NYC Group. “It’s great because everything is right there. You’ve got the 6 line, Macy’s, Starbucks – you’ve got so much in that little area.”
Parkchester condos and brick family homes
Some 50,000 residents reside in the 171 buildings that comprise the Parkchester residential community. The large brick buildings are adorned with fanciful terracotta statues and plaques. A two-bedroom condo in one of the Parkchester buildings can cost between $259,000 to $320,000. On the western side of the neighborhood brick colonial rowhouses can be found near Bronx River Avenue. Two and three-family brick homes run between $695,000 to $1.3 million. Single-family homes are rare and can cost between $590,000 and $1 million. Several co-op buildings can be found as well on Thieriot Avenue.

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.
