The Bronx is currently undergoing a renaissance, with New Yorkers looking northward to claim more spacious pads without having to leave the city—or drain their bank accounts. While renewed interest in the area is prompting developers to bring additional buildings to the borough, the Bronx actually saw its biggest development boom during the early- to mid-20th century when subway lines providing direct service to Manhattan were extended into the area. What resulted were grand apartment houses, such as those along the Grand Concourse, and large co-op complexes in the leafy northwestern section of the borough. Ahead we've rounded up a handful of the most interesting located in picturesque Riverdale, many with apartments up for sale.
