Named after the builder of the Morris Park Racecourse, which operated around the turn of the 20th century until it burned down in a fire, the neighborhood of Morris Park lies within the Bronx. Made up mostly of small family homes and low-rise apartment buildings thanks to a community-supported ordinance preventing dense and tall development, the single square mile that makes up this neighborhood contains more than 25,000 diverse residents.
Rental options in Morris Park range from renovated apartments to longstanding townhomes. The neighborhood’s numerous hospitals and medical centers make it a popular choice for many healthcare workers and their families, as well as medical students attending the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Several renowned amenities are within close reach of Morris Park, including the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Fordham University, and Bay Plaza Shopping Center. The 5 train connects Morris Park to the rest of New York City within minutes.
