Real estate experts tell News 12 that Mott Haven is experiencing a luxury rental boom as new apartments with high-end amenities are being built.
One of the developments, Bruckner House, features amenities such as a Jacuzzi, steam room, outdoor movie section and even a VR lounge.
Real estate agent Jason Christie says the trend reflects a growing demand for luxury living in the Bronx.
“People who live in the Bronx also want luxury, but they don’t necessarily think they have to leave their borough to get it,” he says.
Streeteasy currently has over 200 apartments available near you. Discount offers and complimentary amenity packages bring effective one-bedroom rents to $2,400 per month in some units. Mott Haven residents like Julian Santos are excited about the opportunities these developments will bring, calling it a “great opportunity” to live in the Bronx.
New businesses are also popping up throughout Mott Haven to accommodate Mott Haven’s new residents. Maurice Smith runs SoBro Juice Bar, which opened in the summer. “This area is relatively new, so we wanted to open a nice business that would fit in with the community,” he said.
