Where to stay in Highbridge
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Highbridge keeps its beds close to two very different draws. Stays near Yankee Stadium put game nights, the New York Yankees Museum, and Monument Park within a short walk, while rooms toward the Bronx Museum of the Arts trade the crowds for a quieter cultural corner of the neighbourhood. Pick by your reason for coming.
One end roars on match days; the other stays calm, and both sit a fast subway ride from the rest of New York City whenever you want the wider borough or Manhattan.

About Highbridge
What are the main landmarks in Highbridge?
Yankee Stadium dominates the skyline here. Inside it, the New York Yankees Museum gathers signed balls and memorabilia, while Monument Park lines up the retired numbers and bronze plaques of the club's greatest players just beyond the outfield wall. The draw is not only baseball.
A short way off, the Bronx Museum of the Arts holds contemporary and twentieth-century collections on the Grand Concourse, giving Highbridge a cultural stop that stays open long after the last game of the season has been played.
What is the history of Highbridge?
Highbridge takes its name from the old aqueduct crossing that once carried water above the river to New York City. The neighbourhood grew as a working-class quarter of the Bronx, tightly built along the ridge, long before Yankee Stadium rose to pull crowds up from Manhattan on every game day. Its identity shifted with the ballpark.
When the stadium opened, the surrounding blocks turned toward the game, and later Monument Park gave the district a shrine of plaques honouring the players who had made the club famous.
Where is Highbridge?
Highbridge sits on a ridge in the western Bronx, a compact New York City neighbourhood built up around Yankee Stadium.
