Hutchinson Metro Center

Hutchinson Metro Center is a mostly non-residential area in the east Bronx, bordered by Morris Park, Westchester Square, Pelham Gardens and the Pelham Bay area, and it includes a stretch of Hutchinson River Parkway parkland. City records show it is dominated by large institutional and office properties: the Bronx Psychiatric Center campus, the Hutch Metro Center office buildings along Waters Place, and Calvary Hospital on Eastchester Road. PLUTO lists only about 220 residential units here, most of them in a seven-story building at 1338 Blondell Avenue built in 2025. There is no subway stop inside the area; the 6 train stops at Middletown Rd and Westchester Sq-E Tremont Av, each within about 120 m of its edge. Ballfields along the Hutchinson River Parkway include Samuel H. Young Park.

Hutchinson Metro Center has 16 open HPD housing violations, 2 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 5 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 38th most open violations of 39 neighborhoods in Bronx.

Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Owner names, addresses, unit counts and years built from PLUTO 26v2 lots in census tract 284 (the NTA's only tract). NTA type code 6 (non-residential special area) from the NTA dataset. Park names from NYC Parks Properties dataset (enfh-gkve). Housing figures computed from PLUTO 26v2 residential units, with lots assigned to this NTA through 2020 census tracts (NYC Planning tract-to-NTA codes); building type uses PLUTO building class (C = walk-up, D = elevator, A/B = one- and two-family). Subway stations placed by point-in-polygon test of MTA station coordinates against the 2020 NTA boundary (data.cityofnewyork.us 9nt8-h7nd); 'just outside' means within about 150 m of the edge. Re-verified 2026-10-12: recomputed every PLUTO 26v2 share from the raw lots (2020 tract-to-NTA codes from data.cityofnewyork.us 63ge-mke6) and re-ran the station point-in-polygon test against the 2020 NTA file. Distances corrected to 33 m (Middletown Rd) and 116 m (Westchester Sq). NTA type 6 is NYC Planning's code for non-residential special areas. 1338 Blondell Ave: 183 units, 7 floors, built 2025 in PLUTO.
