Welcome to the Edenwald & Baychester Projects Alumni Community. People who are or have been part of this Bronx community are invited to sign up and start their own web log
(blog) or join a discussion forum. If you are a relative of someone who is from the Edenwald
or Baychester projects, you are welcome to join our community. Just
mention the name of the registered blog member, when you sign up.
A blog is like an on-line journal which allows you to post an article whenever you wish. Share your experiences growing up or living in these projects. How do these experiences contribute to who you are and what you have accomplished. Write about what you do now or whatever moves you at the moment.
It doesn't matter where you are now. What is important is that we share a common bond from a special place in da Bronx in New York City. As we each blog about our own personal story, we can learn from each other and prove that good solid people come from New York City Housing Projects. When you sign up use your address from Edenwald or Baychester.
Baychester Houses has 11 six-story buildings on 8.27-acres in the Bronx. Completed May 31, 1963 the development features 441 apartments housing an estimated 943 residents. Schieffelin Avenue, East 225th and East 229th Streets border the complex.
Edenwald Houses is the largest NYCHA development in the Bronx with forty buildings, 3 and 14-stories tall on 48.88-acres. It has 2,034 apartments housing about 5,450 people. Completed October 15, 1953 it is bordered by Grenada Place, East 225th Street, Baychester and Laconia Avenues.
Happy blogging!

is a satellite photo of the Edenwald and Baychester projects. To
get your bearings, the upside down horseshoe street is the Drive North
side of the Edenwald projects. The oval grass patch (to the right) is
the Cardinal Spellman H.S. track and softball field. If you wish
to see a close up satellite photo of your building, go to http://earth.google.com to download their satellite software.
Then type in your exact building address to see your building
up close and comfortable.
