Almost every building is not more than 8 minutes away from a B/D or 4 train stop within Fordham Heights. Moreoever, the commute to midtown is roughly 30-35 minutes, making this neighborhood an ideal and affordable deal for working in the city. Many retail businesses and eateries can be found along Grand Concourse and to the north on Fordham Road. For some culture, residents can easily find their way to next-door Belmont, or make a day at the Bronx Zoo or the New York Botanical Garden.
