@ogc163 if you had to choose between living in Washington Heights, and say some neighborhood in the West Bronx where would you choose and why?

Looks like moving back home ain't gonna be in the cards

The Heights. Younger, relatively safer (unless you are looking at a specific neighborhood), more access to amenities, much more upside if the plan is investment and not simply rental. Off the top of my head I can't think of any West Bronx neighborhood I would choose over the Heights.

How is Kingsbridge?

But the South Bronx won't be gentrified.

Kingsbridge is actually not too bad. It's slightly more upscale but not by much.

Thanks. Just looking into a two bed co-op in a prewar most likely. I have a job I'll be doing around Morris Heights/Fordham Heights for a few years and won't want to commute back to Brooklyn all the time. I haven't seen anything to architecturally stimulating around mh/fh so far worth buying though. I'll probably need to drive around to get a better picture of the area though.

Things I'd like to have are decently planned streets/architecture, subway access, parks, parking: street or private, non hood bars, restaurants. If I check a few off I'm happy.

I wouldn't want to live somewhere too upscale like Riverdale anyway

Always get caught off guard seeing cacs in Flatbush.

This is some highly unsavory ass shiit. This is a great thread about development in NYC.....just cause it has black people in the title doesn't mean it should be relegated here.....that's not a diss to The Root. This is a thread for TLR.

Mods move this back to TLR, this thread has doing just fine there, por favor

Folk in here staying shyt can never happen...

Any area you can think of in NYC is up for grabs if they want it.
