Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester, The Bronx

Of the Bronx neighborhoods gathered in this set, Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester carries the most tax lots on record — roughly 7,200 — and it stands apart in one other way: 1% of its lots fall inside the mapped high-risk floodplain, where its immediate neighbors show none. That's a small share, but it's the only nonzero flood reading among them, worth noting as a fact about the current federal map rather than a prediction about future water. Scale and flood exposure together make this the one Bronx page in the set where both readings depart from the pattern set by its neighbors, even though the underlying age and building-class profile stays close to theirs.

The median building here dates to 1955, later than most of the surrounding blocks, with 50% of recorded structures built during the postwar boom between 1945 and 1975, 27% predating 1940, and 9% built since 2000. Building classes run 41% two-family, 33% one-family, and 13% walk-up multi-family — a mix weighted slightly more toward two-family stock than some of its one-family-heavy neighbors, though the overall low-rise character stays consistent across the group, with construction spread more evenly across eras than in some neighboring sections.

Land-use coding shows 74% of lots in one- and two-family use, 13% multi-family walk-up, and 5% recorded as vacant land — the highest vacant-land share in this Bronx group. Lots run to a median of 2,500 square feet with a lot at the ninetieth percentile reaching 5,000 square feet, and buildings top out at a median of 2 stories, with none recorded above 6, keeping the neighborhood's height profile as flat as any of its neighbors despite its larger scale. The vacant-land share is the one land-use figure here that stands apart from the group, even as the residential and walk-up shares track closely with the neighboring pages, a detail that would otherwise be lost inside a single borough-wide average.

Development headroom covers 76% of lots, at a median residual FAR of 0.4, and no lots carry a historic-district designation. Residential use accounts for 88% of lots, holding 17,518 housing units across the neighborhood's roughly 7,200 parcels, which border Co-op City, Pelham Gardens, Wakefield-Woodlawn, and Williamsbridge-Olinville. PearlAudit's records lookup carries this same detail down to the individual lot, useful for confirming whether a specific parcel falls inside that 1% floodplain share rather than relying on the neighborhood-wide figure alone. That kind of address-level check matters most in a neighborhood large enough that a single borough-wide figure can obscure real block-to-block variation.
