Slightly, but really it's that particular pocket, not the North Bronx in general. Gun Hill has always had a bad reputation. (the area by Montefiore is cool though, near Tracey Towers)
The South Bronx in general still fukking sucks because of how the streets are structured and the highways. What makes other areas so easy is that the highways are out of the way and when you tear a block down it's easy to rebuild. How do you tear down and rebuild every section 8 tenement around Yankee Stadium. All these cribs you see aren't easy to sell because they're still generally isolated. It's like Parkchester. You may have an apartment that's $150K but it's surrounded by the 6 train, the Cross Bronx, the Bronx River, Popeyes and fast food spots (that's another thing, the more stores like that exist, the less the property value is worth)
