Oak-draped streets and neighbors with character
Pelham Gardens is a homey, suburban neighborhood occupying just 2 square miles in the northeastern section of the Bronx. In this typically serene, tree-lined neighborhood, residential properties primarily consist of single-family homes and two- to three-family homes, as well as some low-rise apartment buildings. While the neighborhood is nearly entirely made up of residential properties and local businesses, prime shopping can be found in the nearby Bay Plaza Shopping Center. However, the big draw for buyers is the local attractions, which include the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Gardens, located only about 1 mile away. "Pelham Gardens is a residential neighborhood with a longstanding community that is pretty centrally located," says local Realtor Joe Cosentino of Morris Park Realty. "The Pelham Parkway is close by, you have big employers like the Jacobi Hospital and it's a safe area. Even though it's the Bronx, it feels more like a suburb."

Moderately priced architectural gems, including brick-clad Queen Anne single-family homes
Pelham Gardens is known for its impressive lineup of handsome brick rowhouses and townhouses scattered amongst single-family 19th-century architectural marvels, including prewar Tudor and Colonial single-family homes. From genuine standalone Richardsonian Romanesque townhomes with Flemish brick to classic Greek Revival rowhouses, there are a variety of real estate gems to be found across the neighborhood. Most of the construction has prewar details, and certain parts of the Bronx are similar to Harlem with respect to crown moldings, built-in bookcases and intricate architectural details. Locals pass by large Queen Anne Victorians with original quoin stones on exterior corners. The average price range for a single-family home is approximately $800,000 to $1 million, and a two-bedroom condo can run between $150,000 and $350,000.
Buyers moving into this neighborhood like upgrading homes and having lower taxes than in neighboring Westchester County. Meanwhile, families looking for more space or buyers looking for an investment are drawn to the large, finished basements typical of Pelham Gardens. “Properties with mother-daughter setups attract buyers looking to renovate basements, either to rent out or use as in-law suites,” says Steven Padernacht, Bronx native and licensed broker at Keller Williams Realty NYC Group with over 20 years of experience. Cosentino says potential homebuyers should know that inventory moves fast. "Houses don't stay on the market very long," he says. "Within a week, there will be two or three offers on a listing, so it's moving pretty quickly in that area." He also says the neighborhood's suburban setting fosters a safe community. "It's a close-knit community and safety is a big concern for the neighborhood," he says. Pelham Gardens receives a 3 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Family-owned Italian eateries, including Sal and Dom’s Pastry Shop
Italian restaurants dominate the dining scene in Pelham Gardens, though the borough offers a cornucopia of diverse restaurants and eateries. Sal and Dom’s Pastry Shop has been serving freshly baked cannoli to this mostly Italian-American crowd since 1956. Louie and Ernie’s started making pizza just a few years later, and they’re still dishing them up next door in Pelham Bay today. The Mall at Bay Plaza is just east of the neighborhood, housing familiar retailers like Home Depot and Macy's, along with grocery stores like ALDI. With shops and necessities nearby, residents living in Pelham Gardens can avoid crossing the Harlem River into Manhattan for long stretches at a time.
