Around Clason Point
Homes in Clason Point rarely come up for sale because residents commonly hold onto properties for multiple generations. Modest condos co-exist with apartment complexes, which stand alongside single-family homes. New condos are mostly south of Bruckner Expressway. Inaccessibility has created a bit of a time capsule effect in Clason Point. Most residences err on the side of outdated and beloved, with fences and some yard space, as well. There are no high-rises or outlandish exteriors—just family homes with some character.
There are a surprising number of upscale, American offerings on the water. Dominican and Caribbean spots abound, as well. Cuisines in Clason Point take advantage of easy access to seafood. Latin restaurants are also popular, the farther into the Bronx you travel. For the size of the neighborhood, the number of locally-owned spots of interest is impressive and most are open early and stay open late.
The neighborhood is divided into two by Soundview Avenue, home to bodegas, some auto repair shops, hair salons, and a grocery store. Soundview Park is a treasured attraction where water meets land. Here, sporting fields and trails abound. Those looking for big-box shopping can easily access Bruckner Plaza via a short bus ride.
Make a plan to have dinner at Maravilla’s, a favorite of locals for American fare in an unassuming atmosphere. Head to La Casita Lounge for a cozy drink before taking a walk along the water toward Leland Avenue. Embrace the quiet of the neighborhood and call the night early. Alternatively, travel farther inland, over the Bronx River to spots like El Morocco or The Living Room II.
Start the morning with a diner breakfast at TI & JT. Make a point to take in the scene on the jetty, whether or not you opt to try your hand at fishing or hop onto a kayak (a popular, local pastime.) Enjoy a picnic or some fun outdoor recreation at Clason Point Park or at nearby Soundview Park.
Without easy access to public transportation beyond the Bx39 and Bx27, residents of Clason Point rely largely on car travel. A trip into Grand Central on the bus with a transfer would take about an hour. The same drive would be something like 35 minutes depending on traffic. Of course, being close enough to hear airplanes overhead does come with the benefit of a quick jaunt to the airport. The neighborhood is small enough that walking from one end to the other is possible, which makes completing errands on foot realistic.
