Water views, a suburban feel and lower prices

Perched at the southernmost point of Riverdale in the Bronx where the Harlem and Hudson Rivers meet, Spuyten Duyvil is a compact neighborhood that offers an uncommon mix of urban and suburban living. “The Bronx has a lot of ridges in its geography, so there’s a lot of high points and you get a lot of beautiful views, a lot of sunsets,” says Geoffrey Weiss, a licensed real estate salesperson at Compass who specializes in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan. In addition to more square feet for their money and a lifestyle quieter than most New York City neighborhoods, many homeowners enjoy views across the water to Manhattan or the New Jersey Palisades.

Postwar co-ops and single-family homes in varying styles

The majority of residences in the Spuyten Duyvil are postwar co-ops, including the iconic cliffside post-war Blue Building. Co-op prices start at about $165,000 for a studio, and two- and three-bedroom home prices range from $500,000 to $800,000. The neighborhood's east side contains tree-lined streets with single-family homes in various styles including Tudor and Italian Revival, as well as more traditional Cape Cods, cottages and colonial-style homes. Prices range from about $1.2 million to $3 million. The 1920s Villa Charlotte Bronte co-op resembles an Italian villa and contains some of the most desirable homes here. Turnover is rare but expect to pay around $1.3 million should one hit the market.

Elite public and private schools

Students attend schools in Public School District 10, including the elementary PS 24, which has a small gifted and talented program and receives an A rating from Niche. The technology-focused In Tech Academy enrolls grades six through 12 and is rated B minus by Niche. The citywide Bronx High School of Science, ranked A plus by Niche is in nearby Jerome Park. Spuyten Duyvil is also just a few miles from Horace Mann, Riverdale Country, and Ethical Culture Fieldston Schools, which are incredibly prestigious private high schools collectively known to locals as the three “hill schools.”

A neighborhood of parks small and sprawling

Plentiful parks in the area contribute to Spuyten Duyvil’s bucolic atmosphere. Henry Hudson Park serves as the neighborhood’s primary green space, with walking and running paths, athletic facilities, playgrounds and a dog run. Spuyten Duyvil Park stretches along the water and provides shaded riverside walking and running trails. Nearby, Seton Park, Riverdale Park, and Ewen Park offer even more opportunities for outdoor activities, and the public garden Wave Hill is to the north in Hudson Hill. Finally, the famous 1,146-acre Van Cortlandt Park is a 10-minute drive away, offering opportunities for outdoor activities including horseback riding, mountain biking, golfing and swimming.

Limited commercial options with more in nearby Riverdale

Best for commuting by car or rail

Subway service in Spuyten Duyvil is not ideal; it’s about a 20-minute walk to the closest 1 train station, and even getting to nearby Columbia University can take 45 minutes. However, travel to Midtown takes just 25 minutes via the Metro-North Hudson line. Commuting or traveling by car is facilitated by the proximity of the Henry Hudson Parkway and Interstate 87.

This quiet corner of the Bronx provides an escape from the bustling city while remaining accessible to it through the nearby 1 train. The area has lots of secluded public parks that will provide the closest thing to natural wilderness that you can find within New York City borders. The area while quiet at night, provides a lovely community for families looking for a place to belong.
