Pelham Bay is a middle- to upper-middle class neighborhood located in the northeast Bronx, home to roughly 15,000 residents. It is bordered by wide vehicular thoroughfares including Pelham Parkway, the Bruckner Expressway and the Hutchinson River Parkway, yet exhibits the pervasive tranquility and country-clean air that characterize a small town in the country. Pelham Bay is largely high-rise free. Many locals are house or condo owners and have lived in the neighborhood for generations. Pelham Bay locals give the area high marks for safety and quality of life; it’s a nurturing, family-friendly environment with good schools, plentiful outdoor activities in nearby Pelham Bay Park and City Island, and convenient shopping and dining in the heart of the town along Buhre, Crosby and Westchester avenues. If the pace and the noise of the city is starting to get you, spend a day in Pelham Bay. You're sure to return refreshed, and it might be a life-changing visit. By automobile, Pelham Bay offers quick and convenient accessibility to local destinations, Manhattan, Queens and other NYC boroughs. Public transportation provides numerous local and express buses or the 6 train for a day (or night) in the city. Despite an hour plus commute to midtown Manhattan, Pelham Bay is a tranquil place to call home. By Ken Hamberg
