Located about 10 miles from Midtown Manhattan, Van Nest is a civic-minded community nestled beside the lush Bronx Park. Neighbors here support one another, whether by volunteering at the Van Nest Neighborhood Alliance or restoring one of the Victorian homes that grace the area. Newcomers looking to rent find turn-of-the-century two-family homes and large pre-war apartment buildings available throughout the neighborhood.
Named the most walkable neighborhood in the Bronx by Channel 12 News, Van Nest's streets feel more urban than suburban. Diverse restaurants and shops line Morris Park Avenue, offering something for every taste. Those looking for greenery in the city can traverse the quiet trails at Bronx Park or visit the expansive Bronx Zoo located within the park. Crotona Park and the New York Botanical Garden are also convenient to the neighborhood. Numerous students, faculty, and staff choose the neighborhood for its proximity to Fordham University. Manhattan is just a short subway ride away as well, making Van Nest a top choice for many commuters seeking an affordable rental in the city.

Nobody wants to ever register, vote or take part in any census. I know many people over the last few years because of the corrupt political and community establishment here. They only looking for attention, being worshipped and lining their own pockets.It's all special interest and a clic.

Unsafe area . Sold my home in a short time. The local politicians and Van Nest Community Alliance are a bunch of actors and grandstanders looking for attention in the local papers. They should just give it up. The area was good over 40 years ago. Bunch of liberals wimps.
