There are better values to be had than the South Bronx. I'd rather buy in Stamford, CT. You buy in the Bronx then you will also get all the Bronx's problems which no one here has mentioned - includes toxic dump sites.
I have a friend who has one of those apartments and you wouldn’t believe how beautiful they are - not to mention the views to the city. Once inside you wouldn’t even think that you’re in the South Bronx. The apartments are no different from the ones in in Long Island City. They are spacious, with high ceilings, and gorgeous views to all of Manhattan, parts of New Jersey and Queens. The apartments are actually very therapeutic.
Has your friend had any personal safety/security issues?

In 2003 everyone say Brooklyn is too ghetto by 2010 gentrification came like crazy.
The Bronx is full of perpetually angry people who think they have something to prove by being hard and tough. Not all of them of course - especially those who live in civilized areas like Riverdale, Woodlawn, or even arguably Pelham Bay. That and the constant victim olympics whining about how poor and oppressed they are.
Well, guess what? Asians are poor too and live in bad neighborhoods like Chinatown making poverty level wages and subsisting on government welfare. We don't go around thugging it up.
No thanks to the Bronx.
PS It's not a racial thing - the Bronx has been trying to prove its tough guy image since the 1900s. And you also see the same ghetto, violence trash mob mentality among ethnic whites like Albanians today.
There will be 134 units on this building at 2401 3rd Avenue available for rent stabilisation on housing connect from 25th January. Looking forward to it.
