Fieldston, Bronx

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fieldston is a subsection of the Riverdale section of the Bronx, New York City. It is bounded by Manhattan College Parkway to the south, Henry Hudson Parkway to the north and west, and Tibbett Avenue to the east.

The area has several prestigious private schools: the Horace Mann School, Riverdale Country School. The Ethical Culture Fieldston School sits just beyond Fieldston's southern boundary.

The neighborhood is one of the wealthiest in the five boroughs of New York City. Many streets in Fieldston do not have sidewalks. A leafy, scenic enclave that is a private community, the area was designated as the Fieldston Historic District by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2006. The Fieldston property owners' association pays for a private security company to patrol the streets 24 hours a day. It is very similar in demographics and appearance to Jamaica Estates in Queens.
