Review of New York, New York


Norwood Niceties
Star Rating - 2/27/2006
The Norwood section of Bronx,NY is a pocket of NYC that comprises of working class families and many children. Overseen by the 52nd Precinct, crime has decreased from 2002-2006, and residential ownership has been on the incline along Mosholu Parkway South community.

Footsteps from the Botanical Gardens and a tree-lined parkway, Norwood offers plenty of foliage and small parks for children to play. Although the neighborhood is beginning to define itself from street to street, you can still find a great community atmosphere and residents who have been in the neighborhood for over 30-years. Norwood offers a truly diverse population and a wonderful community shopping strip no more than 2-4 blocks from your doorstep in any direction. As a resident of the neighborhood for nearly 10 years, I think it offers an above-average quality of life for those that are single and new and growing young families.

People who lived in Manhattan are discovering and moving to Norwood with all of its trees, biking pathways and significantly lower cost of living. And, if I may, night time around Norwood is really quiet. If you want action, go to Manhattan. Norwood at night is about watching TV, reading a book, a chess game or surfing. There are 2 large shopping centers to the east and the north within 5 miles. And, you have the Van Cortlandt and Mosholu Park (each with golf courses) to the north, northeast and Woodlawn Cemetery which is worth a tour if you like hiking (its large!) along celebrity and historical mausoleums. As you can see, I like the area. You will love the biking, the Bronx Botanical Gardens (now called the New York Botanical Gardens), the Bronx Zoo. If Manhattan are the restaurants and the shows, Norwood in the Bronx is about activities -- healthy and wholesome ones.
