Throggs Neck, Bronx, NY - Suburbs in The Bronx

“You’re moving to the Bronx? Isn’t that dangerous?”

That was the typical response I would get when telling someone I was moving to the Bronx.

I was moving to Throggs Neck, a suburban neighborhood in the Bronx.
I knew all the stereotypes other people had of the Bronx were flat-out wrong!
​Throggs Neck is filled with tree-lined streets, green grass, single-family homes, and plenty of backyards to enjoy.


I grew up in Brooklyn, but The Bronx still feels like a second home to me. 🙂

For many years the only people who would buy a home in the Bronx would be the people who were already familiar with the Bronx.
The reputation the Bronx had, kept many people away.

But today there is a huge “Bally Links” Luxury Golf Course Sign welcoming you to the Bronx as you drive over the Whitestone Bridge.

Things just feel different now!

​Throggs Neck is a neighborhood that breaks all the Bronx stereotypes.


Throggs Neck is also surrounded by the Long Island Sound, so plenty of water views everywhere.

It has Pelham Bay Park and Ferry Point Park which are some of the largest parks in the area.

Throggs Neck feels like the suburbs.

The neighborhood “Main Street” is East Tremont Ave, filled with stores and restaurants.

​The Throggs Neck Shopping Center is brand new, it was only built a few years ago.


There are no subway stations in Throggs Neck, but there are regular and express busses so there are plenty of other forms of transportation.

There is even a Ferry that can take you to Manhattan now!

You also have the Whitestone and Throggs Neck Bridge that connects you to Queens and Long Island.

Throggs Neck is also very close to City Island which is a small island that is part of the Bronx, known for its seafood restaurants and its quaint small island charm, right in the middle of New York!

The reputation might be changing, but the Throggs Neck neighborhood charm, well that continues to be there.
