UP AND COMING: The entire CONCOURSE neighborhood is up and coming, with Yankee Stadium central to much of the development.  New restaurants large and small surround the area.   Across from The Bronx Courthouse on 161st is the other neighborhood Starbucks. The historical Bronx Post Office has been taken private with a rooftop club/restaurant and new shopping and dining destinations planned.? TRULY A HOME IN THE CITY — easy access to the hustle and bustle of Manhattan but a reprieve from the crowds.  Coveted outdoor space galore!  All signs point to the continued growth and development of this area.  EASY SHOWINGS. **VIRTUAL TOUR LINK AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST**
