Water views, a suburban feel and lower prices
Perched at the southernmost point of Riverdale in the Bronx where the Harlem and Hudson Rivers meet, Spuyten Duyvil is a compact neighborhood that offers an uncommon mix of urban and suburban living. “The Bronx has a lot of ridges in its geography, so there’s a lot of high points and you get a lot of beautiful views, a lot of sunsets,” says Geoffrey Weiss, a licensed real estate salesperson at Compass who specializes in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan. In addition to more square feet for their money and a lifestyle quieter than most New York City neighborhoods, many homeowners enjoy views across the water to Manhattan or the New Jersey Palisades.
Spuyten Duyvil has a perfect mix of urban and suburban life.
Spuyten Duyvil has nature trails along the Hudson River.

Postwar co-ops and single-family homes in varying styles
The majority of residences in the Spuyten Duyvil are postwar co-ops, including the iconic cliffside post-war Blue Building. Co-op prices start at about $165,000 for a studio, and two- and three-bedroom home prices range from $500,000 to $800,000. The neighborhood's east side contains tree-lined streets with single-family homes in various styles including Tudor and Italian Revival, as well as more traditional Cape Cods, cottages and colonial-style homes. Prices range from about $1.2 million to $3 million. The 1920s Villa Charlotte Bronte co-op resembles an Italian villa and contains some of the most desirable homes here. Turnover is rare but expect to pay around $1.3 million should one hit the market.

This quiet corner of the Bronx provides an escape from the bustling city while remaining accessible to it through the nearby 1 train. The area has lots of secluded public parks that will provide the closest thing to natural wilderness that you can find within New York City borders. The area while quiet at night, provides a lovely community for families looking for a place to belong.
