If I were looking at Kingsbridge, I would move west of Kingsbridge Av. The best and quietest part is from Irwin to Corlear.
So would I. Slightly more expensive than further East. I actually almost moved to Heath Avenue (East of Deagan) years ago, by Fort Independence place. Then visited a place on 232nd and Irwin but the common charges were way to high for my standards at the time. But opposite sides of the neighborhood, exact same latitude so to speak, but very different feel.

The closer to Riverdale, the more quiet it is. Same is true in Washington Heights. Go to Hudson Heights, and it's completely different from the rest of Washington Heights.

How did you find that area? Heath Avenue. That's a part of the Bronx I am not familiar with.

It's alright..... it's quiet....Not much going on.... A few small co-op buildings, a few larger buildings probably built in the 60's or 70's a few vacant lots where obviously there used to be houses, and many houses left, not all in great shape, yet some of them gorgeous and rustic, looking like houses in some part of lower Westchester. A good area in terms of safety. Not a joyous look or atmosphere, but conveniently located close to the train on Broadway. Not many store options, typical bodegas selling poison food and a few barber shops around, but again, located close to Broadway, a few steps down the hill (yes it is a very hilly area).

Man I could imagine how getting around in that area after a good snow is like. I wouldn't live there without an SUV and good winter wear. TBH it does give off a lower Westchester feel.
Edit - I'm adding the neighborhood to my 2021 Watch thread.

Yes, I noticed that ! Hudson Heights is quite pleasant !
Hi, all - thanks very much for all the replies. I’m really grateful.
I had a sort of related question that will impact where I live - does the A/C train stop at 168th station require using an elevator, or is it the 1 train that’s so deep underground that it requires elevator access?

The A/C does not need the elevator, the 1 does.

I’ve been looking at proximity to the subway, and I had a question.
I’m going to be working at Columbia Med and will be getting off at 168th station. I’ve made the decision that I would rather live in the Upper West Side or Midtown/HK Area and commute rather than live right next to the hospital.
How important is it to take the A express uptown as opposed to the 1 local? Based on Google Maps, the A express is 15 minutes from 59th/Columbus St and the 1 local is about 20-25 minutes from 50-70th. Other than time, is there anything else I should consider?
The place I really like right now is at 77th and Broadway right next to the 1 stop, and I’m just wondering if I should plan instead of walking to an A stop (though the A express stops only at 59th and then again at 125th, so that wouldn’t be of much help to me if I live at 77th).

You can take the C train. It goes local to 168st.
Or you can take the C downtown to 59th st then transfer to the uptown side for the A train.
