The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City, within the U.S. state of New York.
The Bronx contains one of the five poorest Congressional Districts in the United States, the 15th, but its wide diversity also includes affluent, upper-income and middle-income neighborhoods such as Riverdale, Fieldston, Spuyten Duyvil, Schuylerville, Pelham Bay, Pelham Gardens, Morris Park and Country Club.[10][11] The Bronx, particularly the South Bronx, saw a sharp decline in population, livable housing, and the quality of life in the late 1960s and the 1970s, culminating in a wave of arson. Since then the communities have shown significant redevelopment starting in the late 1980s before picking up pace from the 1990s until today.
About a quarter of the Bronx's area is open space,[5] including Woodlawn Cemetery, Van Cortlandt Park, Pelham Bay Park, the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo in the borough's north and center. These open spaces are situated primarily on land deliberately reserved in the late 19th century as urban development progressed north and east from Manhattan.
The name "Bronx" originated with Jonas Bronck, who established the first settlement in the area as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639.[6][7][8] The native Lenape were displaced after 1643 by settlers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Bronx received many immigrant groups as it was transformed into an urban community, first from various European countries (particularly Ireland, Germany and Italy) and later from the Caribbean region (particularly Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic), as well as African American migrants from the southern United States.[9] This cultural mix has made the Bronx a wellspring of both Latin music and hip hop.
Revitalization
In 1997, the Bronx was designated an All America City by the National Civic League, acknowledging its comeback from the decline of the mid-century.[65] In 2006, The New York Times reported that "construction cranes have become the borough's new visual metaphor, replacing the window decals of the 1980s in which pictures of potted plants and drawn curtains were placed in the windows of abandoned buildings."[66] The borough has experienced substantial new building construction since 2002. Between 2002 and June 2007, 33,687 new units of housing were built or were under way and $4.8 billion has been invested in new housing. In the first six months of 2007 alone total investment in new residential development was $965 million and 5,187 residential units were scheduled to be completed. Much of the new development is springing up in formerly vacant lots across the South Bronx.[67]
Sports
The Bronx is the home of the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball.

IAM FROM THE BRONX I NOW LIVE IN L.A. YOU DONT KNOW HOW GREAT THE BRONX IS TIL YOU LEAVE !!!
Omar Shabazz Agee I live in Arizona now and I miss the Bronx much more appreciate it
amen brother!!Bronx ALL DAY
Omar: Your former presence in the Bronx was one of the reasons why so many CIVILIZED people left.
Then go back.
@Dr. Robert Neville lol yeah land that used to belong to a certain place where those ppl are from. You go to russia you see Russians rite ? Alright then. Read a map.
Maybe it isn't perfect, but the Bronx does look like its in better shape compared to the 70s, and 80s at least.
Only the South Bronx looked like that. The North Bronx was a whole different world. You can hardly find anything documenting the Northern Bronx.
Yup
Charlene Massac which was worst north or south Bronx
Charlene Massa, next time I'm in town, I'll definitely explore this New York Borough. It looks genuine and full of life.
The lowlifes are majority of the people out there compared to those who are civilized.
It looks much better than it was in the 80s, but still a different universe compared to Manhattan
🤣🤣🤣😂
The Bronx is a tough borough, I'll have you know.
😂😂😂 Yeah alright!
That's why you Gotta be tough and street smart to live in there
It ain't no walk in the park
Though the Bronx has problems, especially gang problems throughout (though mainly projects and apartment buildings), it’s one of the most visually interesting borough in NYC, with Brooklyn being the second. I traveled there and it just feels different to me.
I lived on 231st on Broadway and drove to work in Manhattan every morning in 99 - 00, great memories!
Always nice to hear stories from a previous resident! Love it :D
I love the Bronx. Some of the greatest rapper's in the world come from this place!!!!
A boogies my fav that came out of this shit, and cardi b i dont listen to her songz as much. But i want her ass so bad lol
El Salvaje a boogie ain't no rapper and cardi B is trash
@@whocares4420 how is he not a rapper?
@@whocares4420 seriously i dont get it. Like i dont listen to just rap i listen to r&b jazz and hip hop. How is a boogie not a rapper and im not like butt hurt but i dont see how a guy actually rapping is not a rapper thats like saying bruno mars is a rapper lol when he sings
El Salvaje he’s a rapper bro
THAT'S MY HOOD I LOVE THE BRONX!!! BORN AND RAISED IN THE BOOGIE DOWN. BRONX....BX... 183RD...
MAD MONEY MARC wow I was born in the Bronx in Albert engine's hospital....
Bronx teachers told everyone that cap locks was mandatory.
There’s no hoods in New York 🤣
The Bronx sucks Dick! 🍆💦. Westside biiiiitchesss!
@@SquidCena "Albert Engine" 😂😂
My mother side of family is from Jamaica, West Indies 🇯🇲. My late Grandfather, my Uncles and My Mother used to live in the Bronx, NYC back in the day's.
I absolutely LOVE NYC
😍
I love NYC... all of it!
People in the streets, a lot of shops! It's lively. A contrast to many of your other downtown area videos. I like this here very much! I'm from Germany.
Wieviel kostet ein 3 Zimmer Wohnung?
When you're on a bicycle and running red lights as if you're going to live forever, you can make pretty good time through the Bronx.
This is my old hood lol. So funny to see it being shown as a destination for travel. 😂
Hey mine too! And please the rebranding was bothersome when I was growing during the flight. "South Bronx ", is the gerrymandering it was considered to be. Now it's the Downton Bronx. Interesting 🤔
@@Janeair41.... shit. Don't let em!!
This aint no destination for travel, this is a warning video
Its surprising huh
How was the life there?
Memories. Im from Chicago but use to be in south bronx years ago all through the Bronx. 148th and brook ave. Betance projects. Miss it
We all missing the old 8 trains that used to run on the 3rd Avenue Elevated trains between Gun Hill road 149 Street 3rd avenue Never for get about the old 8 Rd Avenue Elevated subway trains Even though they had cleaned up 3rd avenue Webster Ave Bronx gun hill road real good you know they had build the second Avenue subway line underground to 96 Street Soon the T/Q trains are going to be extended to 125 Street However the old 3 Rd Avenue elevated line is missing now we only have the BX 15 bus no more BX 55 buses that used to replace the old 3rd avenue Elevated trains between Gun Hill road 149 Street 3rd avenue Bronx
WOW !!...SOUTH BRONX!!..I USE TO LIVE RIGHT THERE ON 167!!..GREAT MEMORIES
Bronx has a unique vibe! I will film here again at some point :)
Love this driving video of NY's Bronx. Feels like I'm actually driving the car myself. Been in Chicago for over 30 yrs and still think NYC and it's five burroughs are so electric and dynamic. 3 times as much population and BS proabally but there is something about that NYC vibe that can't be replicated. I'm stuck in Chicago but I love the NYC area and visit as often as I can !
The Boogie Down!
LETMEC4FREE the get down brothers
Wow that’s one of my old hoods. I lived in the Webster Ave houses. When they were brand new, back in the early 60’s. Got many good memories in the Bronx. I live on the west coast now. But I always miss the Bronx flavor.
I was always scared $#|+!3$$ of going to the Bronx when I was younger because of all the terrible things I've heard, but now I practically want to live there, and I've never even been to the Bronx, but I've been to the city plenty of times. In addition to not having been there (yet), I regret listening to others with negative attitudes about that area, and taking their word for it. I love NY City.
This is a great example of why I'm so optimistic about the future! The internet is making us all more aware of concept behind your comment. Great comment and look forward to hearing from you again :)
nice ride , bronx seem relativly calm and clean ...ilove your videos , its million times better than walking the streets on google earth :-)
Thank you for this! The Bronx looks like an interesting neighborhood with actual people living there! Loved how so many of the old buildings have survived. Great trip :-)
Did you think aliens lived there or something? Lol
My uncles from Ireland lived in the Bronx for many years before moving out, then my Dad moved to Woodside, Queens. I always want to visit New York and hope to do some voluntary work in The Bronx.
My Bronx 💖
Great now I'm sad, missing my hometown! Thanks lol
Looks so clean...not what I expected of the Bronx
Thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU for the fantastic tour!!! It's really the next best thing to being there!!
Love that you enjoyed it :D Thanks for letting me know!!
Awesome work! New York is the best.
If you grew up in the Bronx in the 70's, as I did, you'd be as pleased to see clean streets, and a brighter environment than back then. Mind you, I'm not blind to the fact that there are still great issues that face it, especially in the South Bronx. But as I said, and if you knew what it was like back then, especially in the mid-70's, you'd understand.
i LOVE THE BRONX THANKS FOR THE RIDE

What the hell is downtown Bronx? The Bronx doesn't have a downtown.
Darryl Bass the south bronx is the down town of the bronx ..u do know they have the north bx right
Darryl Bass it’s technically downtown although it’s not conventionally downtown.
I grew up in the South Bronx and never called it that. Highbridge was Highbridge, Riverdale was Riverdale etc. Must be new slang but that's OK.
hostile177 must be it's new, gentrified name.
He meant to put "Dirt Town" not Downtown
Like your video. Love the bronx. Keep them coming.👍
These videos are so addicting! Please make more!
You just earned a new subscriber!

Bronx Kid Many people tell me this style is terrific
It is kinda different but let's get specific
KAY ARE ESS ONE IS THE HOLDER OF A BOULDER
I like how my city has changed so much. It was horrible back in the 90s but every city has its darkness behind it.

I live in São Paulo, watching this video made me want to know. I want to visit the states of Virginia, Texas, New York, and yet !
The guy in the bike was able to travel faster than you lol
Makes me grateful that I live where I live. You can keep it.
Drive at night around white plains rd or creston ave or Burnside. And down some small blocks so people get a real feel of the jungle
Dr. Warsteiner lmao hater there’s no history in the north Bronx that’s why you mad lol lame asses . South Bronx is bigger than the north side bet you didn’t even know we own castle hill now huh ? Hater
At night, after 11:30pm, it's "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE BABY"!!! LOL 😂 ITS ALL GOOD!!!
183rd and croston is still bad
193 / Decatur is bad.
White plains road ain’t bad at all I always walked there no problems at all
One of my favorite places
I love the city.
Thanks for showing us different videos
Every time I see a video like I wonder where are the people. Cause the Bronx is never empty. And clear streets where is that at too. Was this early in the morning?
Thank you. I kind of did wonder about this too. Thank you for your insight.
not war zone it once was back in 1980s very early 1990s
raymond howard yes. But it's still a lot of crackheads out here
a beautiful place Bronx
awesome country, i wish i could live there
So many memories...
Good morning! Great videos. I am new to your channel but I see I am going to travel a lot!!! Thank you!!! (Pretoria, South Africa)
Thanks for showing my neighborhood it sure has changed
Firstly, it's a great video, you feel like you're riding along in the car, but I have 3 observations... 1. It was not what I expected. this could be any medium size town, not a borough of 8 million people New York City , I'm surprised how quiet it seemed to be, 2. I couldn't help but notice you were behind 2 different cars from Virginia, no point, I just found it amusing, and 3. I was waiting to see Yankee Stadium, is it not in the Bronx? Oh and 4. I loved the old buildings that still had the ghosts of old advertisement from the turn of the last century painted on their bricks. Great video.
Thankyou friend very good very good, congratulations
great footage
Thank you!
Harlem I'm a Texas girl and I wanted to move to New York and become a fashion designer but I'm all grown up now but still feel I belong in New York city but of course life happens watching these videos at least give me some idea what it's like being a new Yorker love watching them
Chase your dreams its never too late
Beautiful video
The Bronx, my home. you no longer see burned down buildings or empty lots, The Bronx is becoming the new Manhattan.
we have new buildings and new businesses , And many more to come. The crime rate has gone down, the streets are much more safer for our children...
But not enough black owned businesses
New Manhattan? Lmfao, what u smokin?
You started the video, in what appears to be Claremont & Webster Ave, in my 48 years living in the Boogie down, I know my places, and most talk about projects, I'd never found myself nemesis,,Trouble,,Bad Attitude ( CB radio call sign) 10-4 Roger
Welcome to America Slipnotmetalrockful...welcome to America. I on the other hand love the diversity of NYC and the five boroughs. I like difference in architecture verses the south and west. New York is a historic city with a vibrancy and life of its own. You're either a city person or you're not. Over crowded cities, poverty and homelessness in while spread...even in smaller cities and rural area's across this country. Personally, I would live in NYC either, unless I were a millionaire, due to the high cost of living and taxation. However, I love to visit in the summer and experiencing all the things the boroughs have to offer during certain months. But as I said, I love the liveliness of a city, bright lights and people moving all about me. Live is to short for boring and ho hum. RGEE
lindo lugar!!!
The Bronx is better than I expected. I was in Queens once going from and to Laguardia and Queens seems more dirty and run down than what this video shows of the Bronx. I like the city vibe here. I am from the midwest btw
They need to stop calling third Avenue downtown Bronx . The Bronx never had a downtown anything. The Bronx’s In the geographical sense is all the way north from the rest of the other boroughs
So what's downtown New York Manhattan
@@automotivemachinerytechnic412downtown Manhattan is literally, downtown Manhattan: Areas south of 14th St, and then it’s the Midtown, then uptown
Third Ave.
I love your videos. I am from Toronto. What is your favorite borough of the 5? If I were to move there which one would you suggest. I am just an everyday working dude. thanks
Big avenue. Very nice.
Wonderful job! Maybe someday in the future New York streets in the winter! How about that?
I was born in the Lincoln Hospital in 93 with those weird babies i will be back to the bronx.!!!!
Love the Bronx.
smooth driving Utah.
1:25 That Toyota driver was spacing out for a solid 5-6 seconds at that green light.
besides some of the chaotic intersections, overall it looks really nice....I know a lot of people from the Bronx that act like it's a bad area, but NYC doesn't have anything like Baltimore, Philly, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis etc.
Reed A. There’s a lot of new and renovated buildings where there used to be abandon or vacant lots. The Bronx still has its bad vibes but nothing like 90s, 80s & 70s. The city has been putting a lot money into it for the past 2 decades now so it looks a lot better, but shit still goes on here. There’s still projects, drugs, knives, guns, gangs, welfare etc.
Cuál es el número de ustede@@bxboro4662
It is SOOOO much easier driving around the Bronx than it is in Tokyo.
21:28 Out of all the stores in the Bronx....I think Models has been there the longest !!!
Looks nice...

Gee. how far does the bronx go?
south bronx was so bad even police woul d not patrol some parts

The police are a bunch of bitches they are just as corrupt and shitty as the piece of shits that live out there! 😂😭
I mean in the 70s and 80s yeah it was bad but the crime rate drop but don't gang bang
Looks just like GTA 4.
