Throgs Neck-Schuylerville, The Bronx

Throgs Neck-Schuylerville's tax-lot file runs to roughly 8,300 parcels, the largest count among the neighborhoods covered in this cluster of the Bronx. Residential use covers 92% of those lots, also the highest share recorded here, and the file lists 17,806 housing units in total. One- and two-family homes dominate the land-use mix at 81%, with multi-family walk-up buildings a distant 10% and vacant land at 4%. Scale this large usually flattens out into an ordinary profile elsewhere in the file, and for the most part it does here too — the class and land-use figures read close to what a typical low-rise Bronx file looks like, just spread across more parcels than any other neighborhood in this batch — scale alone doesn't push this file toward an unusual profile the way it does in a couple of the smaller-lot-count neighborhoods nearby.

Construction here is anchored later than in several neighboring files: the median building dates to 1950, and 42% of the recorded stock went up during the postwar boom between 1945 and 1975 — the highest such share among the neighborhoods in this batch. Prewar construction still accounts for 43% of buildings, and just 7% has been completed since 2000. No lots are recorded inside a historic district, so the age profile here carries no preservation layer on top of it, and the file splits almost evenly between its prewar and postwar-boom shares.

Building class records list one-family homes at 43%, two-family homes at 37%, and walk-up apartment buildings at 10%. Lots run small and uniform, with a median size of 2,500 square feet, and even the top of the file stays contained: one lot in ten reaches 5,000 square feet or more. The median building height is 2 stories, and none are recorded above 6 floors, a flat height profile across a very large lot count.

Development headroom is narrower here than in most of the surrounding file: 65% of lots carry less floor area than their district currently allows, with a median residual of 0.2 additional FAR — among the lower headroom figures in this cluster. Flood mapping covers 19% of lots on the current federal map, a share worth checking parcel by parcel rather than averaging away. The neighborhood borders Castle Hill-Unionport, Pelham Bay-Country Club-City Island, and Westchester Square, each with its own per-lot record available on these pages, and each carrying a somewhat wider headroom margin than the figure recorded here.
