Simple and Cozy in Pelham Gardens
Pros
This unit is a great little nook to call home. It has a decent amount of space for someone just starting out or someone looking for a cozy spot with a simple, straightforward layout. The owners are new but seem to be lovely, hardworking people. The previous owner was wonderful, kind and responsive, and always a joy to work with. The property grounds are well maintained. There’s a great sized yard with shared access for the tenant and homeowner. Pelham Gardens is a beautiful, quiet and friendly neighborhood. It’s a breath of fresh air in the Northeast Bronx, ideal for families and working professionals. The transportation here is convenient with access to major highways (the 95 is a short walk and drive), bus lines such as the Bx2), 31, 28, 38, 12, and the express bus to Midtown with the Bxm10. The 5 train is a 10 minute walk away to Gun Hill Road on the Dyre Avenue line, and the 2 line can be accessed by taking the 26 on Allerton Avenue to White Plains Road (10 minute ride door to door).
Cons
The only con is the VERY occasional, summertime water bug. There’s 1/year (last summer 2 because of the hurricane). Depending on the person, that could be a non-negotiable or not much of a problem. Otherwise, the pest control has been great. No problems with typical NYC vermin.
Advice to the owners
None to give.
