An abundance of housing options for prospective buyers
Van Cortlandt Village is an urban residential neighborhood located in the Bronx with plenty of housing options. Buyers can find brick-clad, postwar co-ops, split-level multifamily residences and some early 20th-century single-family homes, including duplexes and townhouses. “There’s a lot of stock there,” explains Carol Landon of Douglas Elliman Real Estate who has sold homes in the area for 16 years. “A lot of the housing is small, older homes. It’s a big mix,” she adds. Perhaps the biggest perk of the neighborhood is its proximity to Van Cortlandt Park, New York City’s third largest green space, as well as access to the 1 train and major highways like I-87 for an easy commute to Manhattan.
Van Cortlandt Village has some immaculate single family homes that are over 100 years old.
Many residents of the Van Cortlandt Village community reside in 1BR Postwar co-ops buildings.

Plenty of brick-clad co-ops with some detached duplexes and multifamily homes
The housing market is primarily made up of postwar co-ops and condos in mid- to high-rise buildings, some of which include indoor parking garages, at very accessible price points. One-bedroom co-ops range between $125,000 and$220,000, while two-bedrooms typically range from $260,000 to $380,000. Off Sedgwick Avenue, buyers can find accessibly priced co-op units in The Tideway Building, where heat, gas and hot water is included in the association fees. Prospective buyers can also find single-family homes generally starting at $650,000 or two-family homes costing between $899,000 and about $1.3 million. Whether it is a detached, brick-clad single-family home, an elegant turn-of-the-century Tudor-style townhome, a prewar duplex or rowhouse, Van Cortlandt Village has an array of housing options. “It’s a typical Bronx neighborhood,” Landon says. Home sizes typically average around 966 square feet and lot sizes are 1,742 square feet. With more than 65 percent of residents renting, buyers interested in investment properties can take advantage of the available housing stock.

Home to New York City’s third-largest park
Van Cortlandt Village is located right beneath its namesake park, offering residents easy access to nearly 1,200 acres of green space. Van Cortlandt Park contains several sports facilities like rugby and cricket fields, plus the Van Cortlandt Golf Course and hiking trails for locals. The park also features the Bronx’s largest freshwater lake. For local playgrounds, there’s Fort Independence Playground, which is situated on a significant Revolutionary War site once used to help safeguard the Harlem River. Today, residents can access the basketball courts, playgrounds and handball courts, and families with pets can utilize the dog-run area. On the west side of the neighborhood, Bailey Playground also has play areas, spray showers and basketball courts.
Van Cortlandt Park provides an outlet for the community to relax, play and walk or hike.
