An abundance of housing options for prospective buyers
Van Cortlandt Village is an urban residential neighborhood located in the Bronx with plenty of housing options. Buyers can find brick-clad, postwar co-ops, split-level multifamily residences and some early 20th-century single-family homes, including duplexes and townhouses. “There’s a lot of stock there,” explains Carol Landon of Douglas Elliman Real Estate who has sold homes in the area for 16 years. “A lot of the housing is small, older homes. It’s a big mix,” she adds. Perhaps the biggest perk of the neighborhood is its proximity to Van Cortlandt Park, New York City’s third largest green space, as well as access to the 1 train and major highways like I-87 for an easy commute to Manhattan.
Van Cortlandt Village has some immaculate single family homes that are over 100 years old.

Whether it is a detached, brick-clad single-family home, an elegant turn-of-the-century Tudor-style townhome, a prewar duplex or rowhouse, Van Cortlandt Village has an array of housing options. “It’s a typical Bronx neighborhood,” Landon says. Home sizes typically average around 966 square feet and lot sizes are 1,742 square feet. With more than 65 percent of residents renting, buyers interested in investment properties can take advantage of the available housing stock.

Home to New York City’s third-largest park
Van Cortlandt Village is located right beneath its namesake park, offering residents easy access to nearly 1,200 acres of green space.

The park also features the Bronx’s largest freshwater lake.
