Pelham Bay offers a rare mix of coastal access, green space, and easy city living. Anchored by the sweeping expanse of The Bronx’s crown jewel, Pelham Bay Park—the largest park in the city—residents enjoy miles of trails, ballfields, and shoreline, plus summer days at Orchard Beach and history-filled afternoons at the elegant Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum. Weekend seafood runs to City Island and waterfront views around Throgs Neck are minutes away, while everyday conveniences line Crosby Avenue and the retail corridors around Westchester Square.
Families appreciate strong local school options, including the well-regarded P.S. 71 Rose E. Scala and the comprehensive offerings at Herbert H. Lehman High School. Commuters value the 6 train at Buhre Avenue, Middletown Road, and the Pelham Bay Park terminal, along with express bus routes and quick access to major parkways. Recreation abounds, from playgrounds and athletic fields to bridle paths and the neighboring golf courses within the park.
Housing spans brick single- and two-family homes, co-ops, and prewar walk-ups, giving buyers and renters a range of choices at price points that often compare favorably with other coastal corners of the city. With beaches, trails, and neighborhood dining all close at hand, everyday life here feels active, convenient, and well-connected.
