Built for working from home
Apartments for remote workers at The Astelle
Two-bedroom floor-plans with room for a desk, a quiet daytime building, and the 6 train three blocks away for the days you do go in. Mott Haven, built for working from home.
Working from home
A home that holds a workday without taking over your evening
When you work from home, your apartment is also your office, and the two roles compete for the same square footage. The fix is not a bigger desk; it is a home with somewhere to work that is not the foot of your bed, and somewhere to stop working that is not the same chair. The Astelle is laid out for exactly that separation, and the building's amenities carry the rest of the day.
Between two-bedroom layouts with room for a real desk, a fitness center a few floors down for the mid-afternoon break, and a quiet daytime building, the workday has somewhere to live that is not your only room. And on the days you do go in, the 6 train is three blocks away. Commute-optional, not commute-impossible.
Where the work goes
The spaces a workday actually needs
Working from home well is a question of rooms: a desk that fits, light and quiet to think in, and a way to step away that is not the same four walls. Here is where each of those lives at The Astelle and in the blocks around it.
A layout with room for a desk
The two-bedroom layouts give you a second room that can be a genuine home office: a desk, a chair, and a door that closes on the workday. Even within a single home, the open living area keeps a clear corner that a desk can claim without crowding the room.
Light and quiet to think in
The residences run bright, with oversized windows and, in many homes, balcony doors that pull in the South Bronx light. On a flat, low-rise block the daytime is genuinely quiet, the hours most of the city is at the office, so a long call or a stretch of real focus has the calm it needs.
The neighborhood does the rest
A change of scene is a short walk, not another room in your apartment: Mott Haven's cafes and the Bruckner Boulevard strip are at the door for an afternoon out of the house. A full-time doorman and a mail and package room keep deliveries handled while you are on a call, and the 6 train is three blocks away for the days you head in.
The daily rhythm
Quiet by day, connected when you need it
A remote workday runs on quiet, and a residential building in a flat, low-rise stretch of Mott Haven gives you that during the hours most of the city is at the office. The block stays low-key by day, and the residences' oversized windows keep the light without the noise.
Commute-optional is the honest frame: most days your commute is a walk to the second bedroom, and on the days you do head in, the 6 train at 3 Av-138 St is three blocks away, roughly a 25-minute ride to Grand Central. You keep the option without paying for it every morning.

Questions from remote workers
Is The Astelle good for working from home?
Yes. The two-bedroom layouts leave room for a real desk, the residences run bright and quiet during the daytime, and a fitness center a few floors down is there for a break from the desk. The workday has somewhere to live that is not your only room.
Is there space for a home office?
The two-bedroom layouts give you a second full room that works cleanly as a home office, with space for a desk, a chair, and a door that closes. Even in a single home, the open living area keeps a corner a desk can claim.
Where do I take a break from the desk?
A few floors down there is a fitness center for a mid-day reset, and Mott Haven's cafes are a short walk from the door for a change of scene. Leaving the desk does not have to mean leaving the neighborhood.
How far is the commute when I do go in?
The 6 train at 3 Av-138 St is about three blocks away, roughly a 25-minute ride to Grand Central, with the 4 and 5 express nearby. Commute-optional: most days it is a walk to the second bedroom, and the train is there when you need it.
Is it quiet enough for video calls?
The building is residential and low-key during the daytime, and a second bedroom with a door that closes gives a remote worker a quiet, separate space for calls. For specifics on a particular residence, the leasing team can walk you through the layout.
