To the north of where Gun Hill Road meets the Bronx River Parkway is Williamsbridge, an unassuming urban neighborhood in the north Bronx. The area’s roots stem from the Revolutionary War, hence the naming of Gun Hill Road, and it has seen waves of immigrants including Italian, Jewish Eastern European, and now Jamaican populations make their homes here. Housing is found in the low-rise brick buildings that populate the streets. Businesses, markets and restaurants can be found along White Plains Road, and the subway rumbles overhead — a distinguishing factor from nearby neighborhoods like Wakefield. “Williamsbridge is a bit more urban than Wakefield, which has gotten very popular. It’s the main artery for transportation and restaurants and it’s closer to the train,” says William Beltran, a Bronx native and real estate agent with Douglas Elliman.
A wonderful mix of urban and suburban life in this community at Williamsbridge.
The Williamsbridge community is made up of picturesque homes on well manicured streets.

Brick multi-family homes and co-op buildings
Co-ops and multi-family homes make up much of the housing in Williamsbridge. A two-bedroom co-op in a midcentury building goes for between $140,000 to $177,000. Multi-family buildings can take on various configurations, including two-family duplexes, which can run around $500,000, and three-story three-family houses, which might cost as much as $1.25 million. A single-family colonial is a rare find. The northern section of the neighborhood is more purely residential with longer walks to shopping and dining options, though many homes are designed with parking spots in front. There are also subsidized housing and NYCHA complexes in the area, including the Gun Hill Houses, south of Gun Hill Road, the Parkside Senior Center, and Sydney House on Tilden Street, which is a project of Habitat For Humanity.
Row houses represent the majority of the community in Williamsbridge.
