Kingsbridge/Van Cortlandy Village are pretty safe while not being suburban like much of Riverdale
Yeah, true about Kingsbridge. I guess I like space and so never saw myself considering there. I would like to look around the latter but perhaps after winter.

The Woodlawn stop is in Norwood?! This is an outrage! I have been lied to all these years! Lmao.
People are fighting for minimum wages putting a two earner family at 60k per year and the poorest borough is commanding these kind of prices? Also, wealthy immigrants aren’t going to the Bronx, so how do these people get this kind of funding? Something smells funny to me.
I mean all the power to them, but somethings not right.
The poorest borough, you mean the borough that includes the poorest congressional district in the US (15th). Pelham Gardens is part of the 14th and if you ever walk around the area, it feels like a quiet suburban area of neighboring Westchester. And again, unlike the popular belief, this area is far from an exception in the borough, there is a bunch of them.
This type of house is old, beautiful, rustic, and a few of them sold for over $1M over the past few months.
What's funny is, nobody seems shocked anymore when Bed-Stuy brownstones sell for 2.8 millions, when they used to be priced around $400K 15 years ago and are still surrounded by ten times the crime, when areas like Pelham Gardens have none.
Another Bronx neighborhood I found nice from my limited experience is Riverdale. This is the only part of West Bronx I can think of that is deemed safe. I am new here and probably ignorant to other areas and so there's that. I'm not even sure if Riverdale is considered West Bronx though it is in the West.
I visited an area of West Bronx a while back...I could see Washington Heights on the other side. I could not imagine living there. Like someone else said, it's pretty urban. When I say urban, I mean dense, not a lot of space. East Bronx is more greenery and just space to walk around from what I have seen.
Riverdale, Spuyten-Duyvil, Fieldston (you can't even touch the private houses there), Kingsbridge (Riverdale's cheaper sibling), and the Northern part of Kinsbridge Heights as well.

Because Bed Stuy is a livelier neighborhood and has better architecture. I'm not surprised at Pelham Gardens getting more expensive but I don't think it's comparable to Bed Stuy, which is a continuation of the gentrification from the pricier neighborhoods to its West.

To each its own... and let's remember that Bed-Stuy was extremely undesirable once upon a time, people who could were fleeing... even if I had 3 millions I would never buy a brownstone in Bed-Stuy, however for one third of the price I would consider buying a house in Pelham Gardens.

Pelham Gardens appears to have a nice selection of well-kept private homes, as does much of the east Bronx.
Quick Q, if one were to make a topic with a poll ranking Bronx neighborhoods, I reckon one can start with the Wikipedia entry with the neighborhoods and City Island but with some of the parts taken out. But what would you do with some of the neighborhoods that have subsections in them? For example, should Fordham be listed as just Fordham or split into Fordham Heights and Fordham Manor? How would you edit this list into one level of neighborhoods?
Indian Village: Indian Village is very small, with only a few streets, including Seminole, Tenbroeck, Hering, Narragansett, Chocktaw, Pelham Parkway South, Pawnee, Yates, and Van Housen; Rhinelander and Neill near Seminole are also considered part of “Indian Village.” Former Senator Guy Velella owned a home off Seminole.
