Location

The address is 444 East 149th Street, Bronx, NY 10455, United States.

Our data records the borough as Bronx without a confirmed neighborhood, so we do not name one.

In a straight line it is about 4.6 miles from Central Park South, 4.8 miles from Carnegie Hall, 5.4 miles from Times Square.

Those are straight-line distances between coordinates, not walking routes, so treat them as a way to compare properties rather than as a travel time.
