Located 10 miles from Midtown Manhattan, West Farms is a neighborhood in the southwest Bronx. The Bronx Park -- home of the Bronx Zoo -- is the neighborhood's northern border. I-95 runs along the south side of West Farms. The Crotona Parkway Malls hugs the west end, while the Bronx River flows along the east side. Surrounded by nature, West Farms offers a unique combination of traditional brick apartment buildings along wide sidewalks, typical for a Bronx neighborhood, and more unexpected natural elements.
Along the waterfront, the Bronx River Art Center fosters a fledgling artists' community and hosts neighborhood events, while cooks can walk to nearby Arthur Avenue for some of the city's best Italian food shopping. Cheap rents make West Farms unusually affordable for New York, and subway riders have a 35-minute commute into Midtown Manhattan.
