Oh please. Riverdale has always been very nice. It costs more to live there than in midtown manhattan
Riverdale's rents for 1 and 2 bedroom apts are a bit cheaper than Midtown (5-10% difference). Detached homes are naturally quite expensive. But yes, it's always been a nice area to live in. 231st & Broadway, though, seems to have gone down economically from when I used to live in the area (I moved out in 1999).

Go ahead. Show us a few nice side streets. But be sure to include an equal amount of pics of the crappy commercial strips chock full o' hood rats a block away that most people have to deal with on a daily basis. Let's not be delusional here...
Had to re-post this. TRUTH. I'm very familiar with the Bronx, having worked there and even lived there briefly twice, and can understand why residents of nice neighborhoods, like posted by OP, don't want to be associated with the words BRONX.
Looks like a normal neighborhood you'd find in say, Iowa or Arkansas.
Normal neighborhoods in those states? Um no. Not by a long shot. Iowa is beautiful sceniclly as is Arkansas (in spots, particularly the NW and western areas of the state) but no, normal neighbourhoods don't look like that. The upscale, wealthy neighborhoods do.
It certainly is, but the major bus routes that go into Spuyten Dwyvil/Riverdale all run through there, on that bus stop right next to the Popeye's. I think that a number of Riverdale residents are worried that the hoodrats will soon be making stops in their neighborhood (AKA "urban blight encroachment"). My aunt lives in the Winston Churchill, and isn't a fan of the changes around 231st (she's lived in the area for 17 years, actually even longer, with a decade spent in Rockland County in-between).
