Pelham Bay, Country Club & City Island

This area in the northeast Bronx joins three communities next to Pelham Bay Park: Pelham Bay, the waterfront enclave of Country Club, and City Island, an island of about 1.5 miles by half a mile at the western end of Long Island Sound. Housing is mostly low-rise: about 43% of homes are in one- and two-family houses, with most of the rest in walk-ups and elevator buildings. The 6 ends here, stopping at Middletown Road, Buhre Avenue and Pelham Bay Park. City Island has no subway; it is reached by the City Island Bridge, rebuilt and opened to traffic in October 2017, and the Bx29 bus. The City Island Nautical Museum occupies the former Public School 17, built in 1897.

Pelham Bay, Country Club & City Island has 8,034 open HPD housing violations, 1,478 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 2,452 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 29th most open violations of 39 neighborhoods in Bronx.

Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Station locations checked by placing MTA Subway Stations coordinates inside the 2020 NTA boundary; housing-stock shares computed from PLUTO residential units by building class and year built for lots inside the NTA (rounded). Pelham Bay Park is mapped as its own park NTA, so it is described as bordering this area. Stations confirmed inside the NTA from MTA station coordinates; nautical museum lot (190 Fordham St) confirmed inside the NTA via PLUTO; housing shares from PLUTO. Fact-check 2026-10-12: Removed unverified "east of I-95" location for Country Club. City Island size, bridge opening (Oct 29, 2017), Bx29 and the museum in former PS 17 (1897) confirmed on Wikipedia; PLUTO shows 190 Fordham St built 1898 inside the NTA. "Largest park property" is NYC Parks wording.
