About
Parkchester
Parkchester, located between the Bronx River Parkway and the Hutchinson River Parkway, is a planned and residential New York neighborhood with Art Deco brick towers and landscaped courtyards. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Metropolitan Avenue at Unionport Road, where small groceries, bakeries, and everyday storefronts line the sidewalks beside the central oval. Parkchester’s signature look comes from its mid-century superblock layout, decorative stonework, and broad internal walkways that buffer traffic. The Parkchester 6 subway station anchors commutes, while the open greens and playgrounds shape daily routines. The Parkchester Preservation Company and the Parkchester branch of the New York Public Library serve as steady civic touchpoints.

R6 zoning districts are widely mapped in built-up, medium-density areas in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. The character of R6 districts can range from neighborhoods with a diverse mix of building types and heights to large-scale tower in the park developments such as Ravenswood in Queens and Homecrest in Brooklyn. Developers can choose between two sets of bulk regulations. Standard height factor regulations, introduced in 1961, produce small multi-family buildings on small zoning lots and, on larger lots, tall buildings that are set back from the street. Optional Quality Housing regulations produce high lot coverage buildings within height limits that often reflect the scale of older, pre-1961 apartment buildings in the neighborhood.
