Schuylerville (nicknamed "Skyville") is a middle-class neighborhood located in the East Bronx area of New York City. Housing is mostly single-family and two-family houses. It is located next to other middle-to-upper-class residential neighborhoods of Country Club and Pelham Bay.
Schuylerville is a small enclave situated between the Bruckner Expressway and the Hutchinson River Parkway, with suburban style. It is a predominantly Italian neighborhood, with small Hispanic and black populations. Saint Raymond's Cemetery is in the southwestern part. Since the rise of the housing market the neighborhood has seen various luxury developments, including condos and newly built two-family houses.
