North Riverdale, Bronx
North Riverdale is the northernmost part of the Riverdale neighborhood of the borough of the Bronx in New York City, particularly above 254th Street.〔Kurutz, Steven. ("Real Estate Observes a Law Even Higher" ), ''The New York Times'', December 11, 2005. Accessed March 9, 2008. "Lately, the boundary of the area considered suitable for Orthodox Jews has shifted to include North Riverdale, the area above 254th Street."〕 It is a residential sub-neighborhood, and shares its northern border with Yonkers, New York in Westchester County.
==Description==
One of the geographic characteristics which gives all of Riverdale its suburban quality is that it lies on a high ridge which separates it from the rest of the city.〔Ultan, Lloyd. "Riverdale" in , p.1109〕 The highest part of the ridge, at 284.5 feet above sea level, lies in North Riverdale, near Iselin Avenue and 250th Street.〔, p. 510〕 North Riverdale has been described as "leafy" and "sleepy" and, by one resident, "the last bastion of gracious living in New York City."〔Kugel, Seth. ("Nighttime Robberies Put a Sleepy Neighborhood on Edge" ) ''New York Times'' (May 18, 2003)〕 The neighborhood is generally wealthy and mostly free of serious crimes, with the exception of grand theft auto. It features a mixture of private residences and apartment buildings.〔
Traditionally a bastion of Irish Catholics, since 2003 and the building of the Salanter Akiba Academy (SAR) High School, the neighborhood has seen an influx of Orthodox Jewish families. While Riverdale as a whole has long had a sizable Orthodox Jewish population – and overall is predominantly Jewish – North Riverdale has not.〔Bleyer, Jennifer. ("Going Kosher and Signaling a Change" ) ''New York Times'' (February 4, 2007)〕〔Buder, Leonard. ("If you're thinking of living in: Riverdale" ) ''New York Times'' (August 29, 1982)〕
In 1998, residents of North Riverdale joined citizens of Yonkers in protesting the building of the Riverdale Classic Residence, a 17-story retirement home which would be located on Riverdale Avenue. Although the building would be sited in Yonkers, because it would sit on the top of a hill, North Riverdale residents feared that it would tower over the smaller apartment buildings and single family residences there.〔Weir, Richard. ("No Border War as Residents In 2 Counties Fight Building" ) ''New York Times'' (August 2, 1998)〕 Despite the protests, the building, which did not require a hearing to be approved, was built at its intended height.〔(Bing Maps image )〕
