Pelham Bay-Country Club-City Island, The Bronx

Pelham Bay-Country Club-City Island's roughly 5,100 tax lots run larger than most others covered in this file: the median lot is 2,926 square feet, and the top of the file reaches further still — one lot in ten measures 7,105 square feet or more. That size profile sits above the tighter medians recorded in several neighboring files, consistent with a waterfront-adjacent parcel pattern rather than a dense grid of small rowhouse lots. The neighborhood's name alone signals the geography the lot sizes describe. Residential use covers 91% of lots, and the file records 13,131 housing units across a parcel count that, while sizable, stays below the largest files in this cluster. The lot-size figures alone distinguish this neighborhood from most of the rowhouse-scale files covered elsewhere in this batch.

The median building here dates to 1940, the exact year this file uses to mark the close of prewar construction — putting the neighborhood's typical building right at that line. The record splits close to evenly either side of it: 50% of buildings predate 1940, and 36% date from the postwar boom between 1945 and 1975 that follows. Just 5% of the stock has been completed since 2000, and no lots are recorded inside a historic district, so the split reads as construction timing alone, without a preservation layer attached. Few files in this batch balance their prewar and postwar shares this evenly, which is part of what makes 1940 such a fitting median for this particular neighborhood's file.

One- and two-family homes cover 74% of the land-use file, with multi-family walk-up buildings at 13% and vacant land at 5%. Building class records track similarly: one-family homes account for 42% of structures, two-family homes 32%, and walk-up apartments 13%. The median building height is 2 stories, and none are recorded above 6 floors — a class mix that runs close to the land-use split, suggesting the recorded building type matches the recorded use on most of these lots rather than diverging from it.

Development headroom covers 78% of lots, with a median residual of 0.4 additional FAR still unbuilt on record. Flood mapping places 14% of lots inside a mapped special flood hazard area on the current federal map — a fact about the regulatory boundary rather than the water itself. The neighborhood's one direct neighbor on these pages is Throgs Neck-Schuylerville, whose own tax-lot file carries the same per-parcel detail, though at a much larger parcel count and a narrower headroom share than the figures recorded here.
