Welcome to 1491 West Avenue, a [bright / well-maintained / spacious] 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo in the heart of Parkchester, offered at $325,000 with monthly maintenance of $978. Inside, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms that work well for roommates, or a work-from-home setup. Location is everything here. This building sits steps from the center of Parkchester’s shopping district along Metropolitan Avenue, anchored by Macy’s, with Marshalls, Five Below, Starbucks, Chipotle, supermarkets, banks, restaurants, and everyday services all within walking distance. Unionport Road adds even more local shops. All will appreciate the range of schools close by, including P.S. 106 Parkchester (Pre-K through 5th grade), St. Helena School (Pre-K through 8th grade), the Islamic Leadership School, and St. Raymond High School for Boys. The Parkchester Library is also nearby. Parkchester is one of the Bronx’s leafiest neighborhoods, a planned “city within a city” with landscaped grounds, playgrounds, and the iconic Metropolitan Oval with its fountains and seasonal flowers at the center of the community. The Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden are a short ride away. Commuting is easy, with the 6 train at Parkchester station (express to Manhattan during weekday rush hours), the BxM6 express bus to Midtown, local Bx4, Bx4A, Bx11, Bx22, Bx36, and Bx39 buses, and the Q44 SBS to Queens. Drivers have quick access to the Cross Bronx Expressway and Bronx River Parkway. The new Parkchester/Van Nest Metro-North station, expected in 2027, will add a direct ride to Penn Station.
