Longwood, Bronx

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Longwood is a subsection of the Hunts Point section of the Bronx, New York. It is the area of Hunts Point northwest of the Bruckner Expressway. Considered to be one of the neighborhoods constituting the notorious South Bronx, Hunts Point has some of New York City's highest crime rates. This area was once known as Fort Apache, but gained infamy in the 1981 film, Fort Apache, The Bronx. It is bordered by 163rd Street to its north, the Bruckner Expressway to its east, 149th Street to its south, and Prospect Avenue to its west.

Colin Powell grew up on Kelly Street in the Longwood section of Hunts Point.
