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.

It's a neighborhood full of life. The people are nice. You can get a wide variety of food. The train station ties it all together.

One of the relatively safe parts of the Bronx, in my opinion. Of course, that just makes it harder for anyone to move in, since almost all the apartments are taken. Still, there's no shortage of food to eat or stores to visit, or trains and buses that'll take you just about anywhere. Raised around there and been so for most of my life, so it isn't that special to me, but the fact that people will often come from other parts of the Bronx just to do shopping here sometimes should tell you enough.

My neighborhood is very diverse and makes me feel safe to express myself and I can be who I want. I would like to see more playgrounds for kids in the areas and train stops.

The parkchester management officials are not able to help owners when they ask for help and chard them for anything that have to be fix. You pay the highest utility rates in the Bronx They have increase utilities by a 30% in the last 3 years and there is no benefit if you buy or rent.. Political officials have been going back and forth trying to help all the owners, but Parkchester is a broken system.
