Throgs Neck is a waterfront neighborhood in the southeastern section of the Bronx, located at the intersection of the East River and Long Island Sound. It offers a suburban feel within New York City, featuring quiet residential streets, marinas, parks, and views of the Throgs Neck Bridge. The area attracts families and long-time residents looking for a peaceful environment with easy access to highways like I-95 and the Cross Bronx Expressway.

Throgs Neck's real estate market includes a mix of single-family homes, two-family houses, and low-rise apartment buildings. Many properties come with private driveways and backyards, which is a rare commodity in NYC. There’s a growing interest in the area from homebuyers seeking more space and affordability compared to Manhattan or Brooklyn. Waterfront properties and homes with views of the bridge are especially desirable. Some co-op buildings and rentals are also available, but the neighborhood leans more toward homeownership.

Throgs Neck was originally named after John Throckmorton, an early settler in the 1600s. The area played a role in the American Revolutionary War and later became a summer getaway for wealthy New Yorkers in the 19th century. The construction of the Throgs Neck Bridge in 1961 enhanced its accessibility and marked a turning point in the area’s development. Historically a hub for Italian-American and Irish-American communities, Throgs Neck remains proud of its roots, with local parades, churches, and delis reflecting its heritage.
