    "The 1 and A trains are within walking distance, as are the BX 12-SBS, BX7, BX20, M100, and one of those express busses too (though I can’t remember what line). There are also stops for the Metro North in Marble Hill and by Fordham Road, which are just over the two bridges connecting us to the Bronx. "

    "This neighborhoods dirty and i would not recommend it to anyone. Aside from the dog poop on every side walk it's loud on a nightly basis and parking is an absolute nightmare. If you like clubs , vagrants and crack then you'd love this neighborhood otherwise i would steer clear."
