New York city high school real estate Bronx New York Yankee stadium

In New York City, the Bronx is located in the northernmost borough. There are four other boroughs in New York City. A borough is the equivalent to a county. If these boroughs were considered to be independent cities, the Bronx would rank the 9th most populated city in the United States. You could literally say that the Bronx is attached to the U.S. mainland, but it has several small islands on the East River and Long Island Sound, an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean.

Did you know that the Bronx High School of Science is considered worldwide as one of the best high schools in the country?

The Bronx is also highly populated with Latinos and African-Americans, but there are also other races and influences. It’s a community where artistic expression, greenery, social services, and over 60 landmarks abound. There are many art galleries, museums, cultural centers, and colleges, performing art-related and sports-related organizations. For a complete list of activities and resources, may I suggest visiting www.ilovethebronx.com? With so many rich, cultural attributes, you may even consider investing in some real estate and living there. For example, I didn’t know that you could find the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. I pictured it somewhere else in NYC. So, grab your Bronx shoes for a day out, and come explore the wonders of this community.

By the way, did you know that Hip-Hop first surfaced its head in the Bronx in the early 1970´s thanks to DJ Kool Herc? He was the one who started throwing the well-known free neighbourhood parties. And then came Grandmaster Flash, who also pioneered hip-hop DJing, cutting, and mixing, and Afrika Bambaata. For more on Grandmaster Flash, visit his website at grandmasterflash.com.

So, Boogie Down to the Bronx on your next vacation to NYC and become a cultural attaché!!!
