1011 Throggs Neck Expy Unit 1

Throgs Neck lies in the southeast corner of the Bronx, where the East River meets the Long Island Sound, making it technically part of New York City. However, Throgs Neck feels decidedly more small-coastal-town than urban. Just six miles east of Manhattan, Throgs Neck provides the convenience and luxury of being able to live near the center of NYC without the sounds of the subway following you home. You'll rarely find tourists here, but that's not to say they wouldn't enjoy the many gorgeous vantage points along the water in this largely overlooked nook of the Bronx.

Edgewater Park, a tiny co-op community within Throgs Neck where almost everybody knows each other's name, has the look of a seaside village, with cute homes, narrow streets and only one road from which you can enter. Because of its proximity to the water, it makes a great place for boat enthusiasts, and it transforms into an aquatic hotspot come summertime.
