North Riverdale, Bronx

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Riverdale is the northernmost part of the Riverdale section of the Bronx borough of New York City, particularly above 254th Street.[1] It retains a more German, Irish, working-class character than the rest of Riverdale and is home to the College of Mount Saint Vincent. English residents also have a presence. North Riverdale shares a border with Yonkers, New York.

North Riverdale is also home to Skyview on the Hudson apartments just west of Riverdale Avenue on the Hudson River.
