Of course not. East boundary of Kingsbridge is Jerome Avenue.

You should have phrased your question differently, i.e., "what neighborhoods have a lot of apartment buildings and no subway access?"

I think thats what you were more looking to have answered.
There's a very strong correlation between density and urbanity

Glendale Queens is probably the most urban neighborhood that does not have subways. It is made up of mostly attached 2 family dwellings, many of which that lack a driveway, and if they do have driveways, they tend to be shared.

Not really, cities are only dense because land is limited, plenty of cities out west that are urban and not dense.

True suburbia = no sidewalks and septic systems

The West Coast cities aren't known for being that urban (aside from SF)

Probably second to Glendale. Maspeth has a higher concentration of standalone housing with driveways.

Maybe East Flatbush too. That depends whether Nostrand line is Flatbush or East Flatbush.

People commonly describe LA as a "giant suburb", I'm not alone in thinking that sunbelt cities aren't super urban

I think East Flatbush counts for the purpose of this thread
