Bronx, Borough Historian, Lloyd Ultan, described Wakefield as an “area has a sort of inner suburban air about it.” The well kept neighborhood offers buyers a variety of one to two family homes for purchase, and renters the option of apartment houses. With a large immigrant Caribbean population, along with pockets of Italian, Irish, Eastern European and African American communities, the area is very ethnically and racially diverse. Given its affordable market prices, diversity, suburban appeal, and access to public transportation, the area offers interested buyers/renters a great package deal.
