THEN AND NOW​

 

​Englewood has seen its share of both good fortune and hard luck over the years. Englewood Station was once a stop on the premier New York Central Railroad Line, and had one of the hottest shopping districts in the city. Unfortunately it suffered when many of the once-prominent industries, such as the railroad, left the community.

 

Lately, though, there is a resurgence of interest in Englewood, as developers realize some of the hidden assets of the area, including convenient access to public transportation and expressways, loads of public parkland, and affordable housing. Completed Spring of 2016, Whole Foods, Starbucks and Chipotle will be scheduled for completion.  Not to mention free music concerts, DIVI Bike Rentals and outdoor films in the neighborhood's parks during the warm weather months.
