Basel

Surrounded by green space and parkland, Norwood’s insular geography gives the neighborhood a small-town feel while remaining connected to the other New York City boroughs via major highways and subway lines. Norwood is nestled between Van Cortlandt Park, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx River Forest, and the Mosholu Parkway. The Williamsbridge Playground in the center of Norwood anchors the neighborhood, and many residents frequent the park on a regular basis. The green space has a playground, the park has a recreation center, skate park, running track, and sports fields. Along with multiple grocers, restaurants, delis, and stores, Norwood is home to several medical facilities including Montefiore Hospital. Similar to most New York neighborhoods, Norwood mainly has apartments and condos available for rent, but there are a few single-family houses as well.
