It is a beautiful Landmarked Brownstone built in the Longwood Historical District for only $510,000! It was built in
1901, 3 families, a driveway (ahh, sweet. sweet, parking!), a fenced in back yard, and is on a tree-lined block filled with similar brownstones. It is conveniently located about 7 blocks from the Bruckner Expressway, as well as 3 block from the 2/5 train and 4 blocks to the 6 train. What a steal!

You already know that your neighbors' houses would look the Cosby family lives in the hood, because Boogiedowner showcased Longwood's beautiful Brownstones yesterday, but here's another example on the right of how contstruction and development sit side-by-side century old houses in this rapidly changing nabe.

It won't be long until Mott Havenites are exploring your new hood. Somebody buy this house and open a bar-restaurant so we can move this thing along.

I am sure none of these row houses in the Bronx are for one family. Right?
If you have a big family, or want to be a landlord....
Beautiful pictures, Jay! It's hard to believe that these are in the Bronx. And since Anja wants to know if anyone has any questions, let me ask her one: How dog-friendly is the neighborhood? Are there a lot of you around, and are there good parks/rec areas in which you can play?
Answer:
Thanks for the question. The area is dog friendly, however there are no dog runs unfortunately in Longwood or Mott Haven. I contacted the city about it and all dog runs have to be created and maintained by the community. So until I can organize members of the community to get one in the park...we will not have one. I am working on it though! For now I can go off the leash every night after 9pm and have fun with friends...so that has been working out fine. I sometimes go to other dog parks in Pelham Bay Park or the city to meet up with other friends too..there are more dog parks there.
Thanks!
