A green oasis in the heart of the Bronx

Energetic Walkable Subway Parks

Nestled at the heart of the Bronx, Allerton borders the expansive Bronx Park, home to the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden. This area is rich in green spaces such as Waring Playground and Reiss Field, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. The neighborhood's streets are lined with mid-rise brick apartment buildings, small co-ops, and condos, with rental prices generally lower than the Manhattan average.

Residents enjoy a diverse array of eateries like Roma Pizza and Halal Chandni Chowk, alongside convenient grocery options including Key Food and Foodtown. A highlight is the replica of the French Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto at St. Lucy Roman Catholic Church, believed to be a place of healing.

Allerton is a haven for commuters, with the 2 and 5 subway lines providing easy access to Midtown Manhattan in about an hour. Additionally, several bus lines and major roadways like U.S. 1 and Bronx River Parkway make traveling around the city straightforward. While some residents work locally, many commute to nearby areas. Educational opportunities are abundant, with reputable schools like the Collegiate Institute for Math & Science.

An interesting historical tidbit: the neighborhood is named after Daniel Allerton, a prominent figure in the region’s early development. Whether you're seeking the community vibe or easy access to city amenities, Allerton offers a compelling balance.
