What is the best place to live in the Bronx?

What is the best location to live or commute to the Bronx? My Fiancee and I are planning on moving to the Bronx area sometime this summer (2009). She teaches near the Buhre Ave Station, and I work in security for a large company -so I could be transferred to several places near the Bronx. I plan on commuting by vehicle, but she will have to rely on public transportation. She likes the idea of Parkchester - however I am worried about the area around it. I've heard Pelhem Bay could be nice. We are young, so we don't want to get too far from civilization. Together, we make about 100,000. Thanks for your help! Moose

2. Co-op city Parkchester Pelham Pkway Co-op city is very nice and. I grew up in the bronx I like parkchester and if you really wanna get jazzy New Rochelle in westchester but very close to the bronx you can take Metro North into Manhattan all nice places I move back in July good luck to you both!!!!
3. jerome ave or graqnd concourse those are the most popular and vibrant parts of the bronx very close to the 4 & D trains actually thts exactly where they are its very alive theres always people walkin the streets so you defintely dont hav to worry bout things gettin quiet.. too quiet kno wat i mean and its not to far from where your fiance works either theres a few busses there tht can take ur gurl to work i kno cuz i used to live the area where shes workin from personal experience its not too quiet but its nottht vibrant either i mean not as vibrant or shall i say alive as the 4 or D parts of the bx so if i were you guys i would defintly recommend the jerome or grand concourse parts of the bx all the other parts fuhgettabout it hope you like my advice- from your fellow NYer Walt
4. In the Bronx you are never away from civilization. Pelham Bay is nice. Pelham Bay Park is a great recreational area. Throggs Neck you can find places near the Long Island Sound. Either area gives you the opportunity to hop on the train into Manhattan and party or drive to City Island for fishing, boating and Seafood Dinning. Summers a day at Orchard Beach. The Bronx is tough for finding apartments. Most are rented to friends and family. A great source of Apartments for rent are Catholic Church Bulletins.
