Built as one of the area's first speculative townhouse projects, it features 28 three-story, single-family brick homes that are uniquely set back from the street. This design allows for the remarkable inclusion of wooden porches, as well as front and side yards – a true rarity in the borough.

For generations, baseball dreams were made at Old Yankee Stadium, which stood tall from 1923 to 2008! As you explore the Bronx, remember that this very spot was once home to the New York Yankees and was considered the grandest baseball stage in America when it opened. Though a new stadium now carries the torch, the spirit of the old one – its unforgettable games and legendary players – remains a vital part of New York's storey.
