Our top moving tips when moving to the Bronx
Maybe you’re familiar with some of the other NYC boroughs already and have an expectation about what you’ll be in for when you move to the Bronx.
In any case, there’s a lot to see and experience within these 57 square miles. You can find all that you’re looking for, whether it be work, play, or both with 1.4 million of your Bronx neighbors.
There’s quite a bit to know about the northernmost part of NYC, so we’ve put together a few points to get you started:
- Cost of living. A big draw for residing in this borough is the pairing of city livin’ and affordable abodes. To be more specific, rent is about 38% lower in the Bronx than it is in Manhattan. On average, rent for a Bronx one-bedroom will cost about $2,200 — which is almost $1k less than its downtown borough counterpart. Even getting your sweat on at a local gym will cost less; considering the average fitness club monthly membership is around $30 as opposed to over $100 in Manhattan. Some costs will remain the same no matter where you reside in the boroughs, like a $2.75 one-way subway fare or 8.875% sales tax. However, there is another standout in terms of costs… when it comes to time. The average one-way commute for those who call the Bronx home is about 44 minutes. If you consider that time is money, it’s worth deciding how that will fit into your budget.
- The great outdoors. You can get both the big-city-feel in this northernmost borough and enjoy what nature has to offer. And the Bronx has it in spades. Take a stroll through some fantastic flora at the New York Botanical Garden or Wave Hill, a public garden and cultural center. Many folks may also be surprised to learn that Central Park isn’t the biggest of its kind in the city; it’s actually the Bronx’s Pelham Bay Park, which comes in at 2,772 acres. Van Cortlandt Park and Bronx Park are also listed in the city’s largest parks if you’re hoping to find wide-open spaces in the Bronx. And while you may have already found a favorite beach elsewhere, don’t overlook Pelham Bay’s Orchard Beach, formally known as “The Riviera of New York City,” as your next ocean view.
- Bites & sips. You won’t be lacking in flavor, because the Bronx will bring it to you every time. Hoping for hops? The Bronx’s own Gun Hill Brewery offers local handcrafted brews, including their Void of Light Export Style Stout — voted 2021’s Best Stout Beer in New York State! Join your fellow borough-dwellers at a favorite spot to share some pub grub at the Bronx Alehouse. You may do a double take when checking out the map, but it’s no mistake: the Bronx has its own Little Italy. This well-kept secret is a great place to stock up on your pasta supply or maybe even splurge on an espresso machine at the Arthur Avenue Retail Market.
- Hip-Hop history. The early 1970’s saw the birth of a new genre of music, courtesy of DJ Kool Herc, right in the Boogie Down Bronx. After partnering up with fellow DJ Grandmaster Flash and grabbing some turntables, they took to the parks of the South Bronx to further develop their sound. The Furious Five, of which Grandmaster was a member, wrote “The Message” a rap about the social and economic experiences of living in the Bronx at the time. From there, the genre grew to what is now a sound sought after across the globe (and there’s a lot of detail in between). Dig into the local history by visiting Kool Herc’s former home at 1520 Sedgewick Ave, where many events had taken place that hatched this style of music. You can also take advantage of a curated Boogie Down Bronx Tour from Hush Tours to check out where these beats originated.
- Arts & culture. If you’re hoping to pick up a bit on other sites that define the brand of this borough, you’ll be delighted to know the offerings are pretty diverse. Ready to discover your wild side? Bring your crew to the famed Bronx Zoo, where you can book an in-person spot with a cheetah or take a spin on the bug carousel! If (baseball) diamonds are more your style, pick up some tickets to root on your home team at Yankee Stadium. For the literary-minded seeking a “kingdom by the sea”, you can visit Edgar Allan Poe’s cottage — a place where he penned such poems as “Annabel Lee” and “The Bells.” You also don’t have to traverse downtown to appreciate the arts, this borough also brings you The Bronx Museum of the Arts and Lehman Center for Performing Arts. Maybe you’re ready to put the pedal to the pavement? If so, join the Tour de Bronx on your bicycle to see the sites on two wheels.
