Located 7 miles northeast of midtown Manhattan and 25 miles south of Westchester, Connecticut, the Fairmont-Claremont Village section of the Bronx rests in a residential district with local businesses spread around the town. Rowhouses, courtyard complexes and pre-war tenement buildings dominate the city's streets.
A neighborhood renaissance has built up the neighborhood from the city's slump in the 1970s, with new low-rise rowhouses and affordable apartments cropping up. New businesses opening and a renewed attention to the landscape of the neighborhood has increased interest in the neighborhood.
A neighborhood with an assortment of recreational activities, attractions and green spaces, the area remains a suitable space for families looking to live outside of the city but still maintain the amenities of being so close. Crotona Park, the neighborhood's landmark attraction hosts over 100 acres of parkland and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
