Van Nest, located between Morris Park and Parkchester, is a residential and commercial New York neighborhood with brick rowhouses and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around White Plains Road near Van Nest Avenue, where old-school bakeries, produce markets, and no-frills eateries line the sidewalks under the elevated tracks. The New York Botanical Garden and Bronx Zoo sit just west, shaping a green-edged, weekend-walk rhythm. Pelham Parkway’s broad median and mature trees add a boulevard feel at the neighborhood’s northern edge. Architecture leans toward early-20th-century attached homes, small apartment buildings, and corner storefronts. Transit hubs at Van Nest and nearby Parkchester keep the street life steady without changing the calm blocks.

Low-Density Contextual Residence District
R5 districts allow a variety of housing at a higher density than permitted in R3-2 and R4 districts. The floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.25 typically produces three-and four-story attached houses and small apartment houses. With a height limit of 40 feet, R5 districts provide a transition between lower- and higher-density neighborhoods and are widely mapped in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Portions of Windsor Terrace and Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn are R5 districts.
