If you’re a renter hunting in New York City for a new development with all the bells and whistles, the Bronx might not be your first choice. However, Mott Haven's new developments are set to surprise you. Leading NYC in new housing units, Mott Haven has seen significant growth thanks to two rezonings and major investments. Fully amenitized buildings offer a mix of market rate and rent-stabilized apartments, with luxurious amenities like pools, roof decks, and gyms at rents lower than in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

In 2023, the Bronx accounted for 35% of new housing in NYC, with Mott Haven and Port Morris seeing 2,326 new units. One standout development is Maven at 2413 Third Ave., a 27-story tower with 200 apartments, 60 of which are rent-stabilized. Amenities include parking, a roof terrace, co-working space, gym, media room, game room, and retail space, with rents for one-bedroom apartments starting at $3,085.

The Bruckner House at 40 Bruckner Blvd. offers 365 apartments with amenities like a rooftop lounge, pool, outdoor theater, mini golf, and work spaces. Rents start at $2,657 for a studio. Another exciting project is 138 Bruckner (ONE38), featuring 579 apartments with in-unit washers and dryers, soaking tubs, balconies, an interior garden, gym, sauna, steam rooms, and an Olympic-sized pool. Rents range from $3,100 for a studio to $4,600 for a two-bedroom apartment.

The Bankside Development has transformed the neighborhood’s waterfront, offering apartments with rents starting at $3,050 and amenities like a basketball court, indoor/outdoor pools, children’s playrooms, and retail spaces. Estela at 414 and 445 Gerard Ave. is an eco-friendly project with LEED Platinum certification, featuring a courtyard, screening room, concierge, workspace, and gyms. Rents range from $1,486 to $4,141.

Conveniently located near Yankee Stadium, the Hip Hop Museum, Fordham University, the Bronx Zoo, and the New York Botanical Garden, Mott Haven is the first subway stop on the 6 line and close to major highways. This makes it easy to access both the city and nature. The area offers a vibrant community with local favorites like The Lit. Bar, Maisonetta, Mae Mae Café, and Chocolate Cortés.

The Bronx is experiencing a renaissance, and Mott Haven is at the forefront. With rising interest and ongoing development, now is the time to explore and invest in this vibrant neighborhood. Discover the new Mott Haven and see why it’s becoming NYC's new housing hotspot.
