The beautiful neighborhood of Pelham Manor, sometimes called the first suburb north of New York, welcomes residents to its low-key lifestyle with gracious single-family homes for rent, as well as some high-rise apartments. The commute to Manhattan proves fairly simple, with the train station in walking distance and the MetroNorth train making the journey in about half an hour.
Pelham Bay Park, an NYC park that's three times the size of Central Park, welcomes everyone to enjoy its beaches, sports courts, bridle paths, and historic buildings. After a relaxing day outdoors with your new neighbors, stop at the Edo Japanese Steak House, a neighborhood landmark, to watch the chef cook your dinner in front of you.

Property Ratings at Drake House

Going downhill
I've lived here for approximately 9 years. At first it was a pleasure. the people were nice and the grounds/building was maintained fairly. Over the course of the last 4 years there has been a serious decline. Paint is chipping everywhere, it's dirtier and they just keep charging more money. It will be my last year here.
Property Manager at Drake House, Responded To This Review
We're extremely sorry to hear that. Please give our maintenance department a call or put through a work order request and we'll be more than happy to assist.

Our home
This is a good building, perfect for me because it is close to work. About 6-minute walk away from grocery store and not far away from CVS pharmacy and Home Depot. If you have kids, this building has its own playground and is also surrounded by parks (a good 10 to 15-minute walk away from Glen Island Park). The unit itself is good considering the age of the building. Appliances are new when we moved in. Bathtub, shower, toilet, sink are working well. Called maintenance twice for window guards and a clogged tub and responded quickly. Walking around New Rochelle is not a problem even with a stroller because of user-friendly sidewalks.

Super Spacious & Bright
I've lived here for 5 plus years and I can't complain. Beautiful hard wood floors, great closet space and quiet complex. Only complaint is sometimes the lobby door doesn't close on its own. I would recommend especially while saving to purchase. It is also close to the water and scenic views
