About East Tremont
Where to stay in East Tremont
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
East Tremont Avenue is the axis. A stay in the West Bronx works from it, since the neighborhood runs residential from East 180th Street down to the Cross Bronx Expressway and counts the Bronx Zoo among its sights. Third Avenue closes the western edge.
Beyond it and beyond the expressway the choice is other Bronx neighborhoods, so most stays here mean a short ride in along East Tremont Avenue.

East Tremont Avenue runs through all of it as the primary thoroughfare.
