Questions neighbors ask in Norwood

What ZIP code is Norwood in?

10467 for nearly all of it. Mosholu Parkway is the line with Bedford Park: Bainbridge, Decatur and Perry avenues are 10467 from number 3030 north, and everything up to East Gun Hill Road and the Bronx River is the same code. The only exception is Botanical Square, the two buildings at 2985 and 2995 by Bedford Park Boulevard and Webster Avenue, which are 10458.

Where exactly is Norwood in the Bronx?

North of Mosholu Parkway and south of Van Cortlandt Park, between Jerome Avenue and the Bronx River, with the Williamsbridge Oval in the middle and Webster Avenue along the Botanical Garden on its south-east side. Bedford Park is across the parkway, Williamsbridge is across the river, and Woodlawn is past the park.

How much does a cleaning cost in Norwood?

It depends on how many rooms you have and how often we come. The plan builder starts at $0, prices each room as you add it, and shows the total before it asks for your contact details.

Are the apartments in Norwood old?

Most are. Of the 16,203 homes here, 10,246 are in buildings from before 1930 and another 2,820 from the 1930s and 40s: about 150 elevator buildings, 127 of them six stories, on DeKalb, Decatur, Hull, Perry and Rochambeau avenues, plus about 310 walk-ups. An old apartment books by its rooms like any other; the parquet and the radiators are just part of the job.

Do you clean the new buildings on Webster Avenue?

Yes. Almost everything built here from 2000 on stands on Webster Avenue, like 3547, 3349, 3118 and 3100 Webster, with 3322 Decatur Avenue and 3254 Parkside Place nearby: 1,390 homes in all. If your building has a front desk, tell us when you book and we will announce ourselves.

Does the subway stop in Norwood?

Twice. Norwood-205 St, the last stop on the D, is at Bainbridge Avenue and East 205th Street, and Mosholu Pkwy on the 4, with an elevator, is on Jerome Avenue at the parkway. Gun Hill Rd on the 2 and 5 is across the river, in Williamsbridge. The team comes by car in any case.

Do you clean for people who work at Montefiore or North Central Bronx?

Yes, many of our visits here are around the two hospitals on East 210th Street and Kossuth Avenue. Tell us the days and hours you are home and we set the visit then, and a recurring plan keeps the same slot week after week. The 28-story tower at 206 East Gun Hill Road, with 399 homes, is right behind them.
