Parkchester

Parkchester is a massive planned community built by MetLife in the 1940s — orderly brick towers, internal gardens, and a self-contained commercial center. It's one of the Bronx's most stable middle-class neighborhoods, with a growing Bangladeshi and Albanian community alongside longtime residents.
