"A lot of little conveniences and scenic too.."
Lived here for several years, and the biggest draws have always been the parks, access to public transportation, and relatively affordable rents/co-ops. Doctors offices available up to the Grand Concourse and whatever you can't find on the street is available right across the Parkway in Norwood. Easy and scenic walk to the Botanical Gardens.
Pros
- Lots of green space available by Mosholu Parkway
- Plenty of stores
Cons
- Can be a little rough around the edges
- Closer to the train yard, it is a little desolate

"Weird Looking Street - Splits Into High and Low Level"
E. 204th Street is the strangest street, at least to me. When you go up E. 204th Street and you arrive Valentine Avenue, the road splits into a high and low level road. The high level goes to all local stops. The low level acts as a highway.
If you are new to the area, you might get confused by it.

"Some Stores on One Block"
If you go to E 204th St between Valentine Ave and E. Mosholu Pkwy S, you will see a bunch of stores on each side of the road. But once you get past that point, the remaining area splits off around a highway, with a worn down building to the right and construction along the side of the building. At this corner, E 204th St apparent stops until it meets again after Bainbridge Ave.
Pros
- Plenty of stores
Cons
- Little too dirty in spots
- Bad area to be in
- Construction makes it look bad

"Quaint place to live"
Okay so I lived around the corner but i know the area really well. The best possible thing about living on 204th is the accesibility to all things necessary. On 204 there is a huge laundramat , supermarket and you are right up the block from a gorgeous park and right down the block from all the public transportation you can need. It is a quiet street and everyone is friendly. The only downside is the limited parking..

Though there is not much in the way of food on this street, there are a lot on the main streets in this area. In terms of housing, this may not be the greatest place to live but it is very easily accessible as there are plenty of trains to take you to the midtown area.
