Country Club, Bronx
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Country Club is a middle-class neighborhood located in the East Bronx in New York City. Given both the demographics and geography it can feel more like Queens than like the Bronx. Sharing the 10465 ZIP code with Throgs Neck (despite the fact that it is actually part of Pelham Bay), the neighborhood's boundaries are Pelham Bay Park to the north, Eastchester Bay to the east, Fairmount Avenue to the south, and the New England Thruway to the west.
According to Yahoo! Neighborhood Profiles,
- the median household income is $46,046
- 51% of households are headed by single persons
- 49% of households headed by married couples
- 70% of households have children
- 58.9% of residents are white collar workers
Property values in Country Club exceed the national average.
[edit] Quality of life
Country Club, along with Riverdale, Woodlawn, Throgs Neck, and City Island is considered one of the nicest areas of the Bronx. Neighborhood homes include small brick houses built during the 1950s with both back and front yards. Walking down one of the many blocks one can notice the greenery of trees and grass.
Country Club residents enjoy for the most part a neighborhood that is safe and clean. The largest public park in New York City, Pelham Bay Park, is located nearby, as well as Orchard Beach. Residents are also five minutes away from the great seafood restaurants on City Island in Eastchester Bay.
