There are no up and comming areas of the bronx, the bronx has well established neighborhoods. You wont see Parkchester or Castle Hill becoming maybury any time in the near future. Nor can you expect these home prices to hold their value. - Thu Nov 1 2007, 10:43
The answer is NO! Dont waste your time. Country Club proper is demanding 400,000 for 1,200 sq feet in a fixer uper, I have seen 579,000 in CC Proper for a 2 bdrm over a 1 bdrm. These people refi-ed their homes to the max and now want a bail out, they cant do the math and will eventually sell us all out and sell their single family homes to developers who will tear them down to build multi-apt complexes like the ones built along jarvis outside country club. - Thu Nov 1 2007, 10:40
I currently live in the North East section of the bronx around throggs neck. It looks like throggs neck prices are falling faster that in other areas but i believe there is a reason for that. The bronx has definatly been emerging however it is very crowded with single family homes converted into multi-family. Parking for the train, quality of services, and cost of living are all on the rise. Although considerably cheaper than manhattan, the bronx is still an outer borough thus it does not provide the youth and night life one is seeking in manhattan life. If thats you, Brooklyn might be a better choice, but im speaking on hearsay not personall experience of brooklyn. - Thu Oct 4 2007, 10:54
