City Scoops Up 27,700 SqFt In Inwood For Future School: Report

INWOOD, NY — For the second time in 2021, a major buyer has made a significant purchase of land in Inwood that will serve as the site for a future school.

Last week, the New York City School Construction Authority bought two properties, at 3761 and 3769 10th Avenue, which will eventually be used to build a school or multiple schools, according to the Real Deal.

The city spent $23.6 million to acquire the 27,700 square feet of Inwood land.

The two Inwood addresses are not vacant buildings. 3761 10th Avenue is home to the Hiran Auto Repair Shop, and the Guddy's 2 Deli and Grocery is at 3769 10th Avenue, according to Google Maps.

It is unclear what will happen to these businesses, the timeline on the city's plan for the two properties, and which schools will come into the neighborhood. There have been no demolition or new building permits filed with the city for the two addresses.

In March 2021, Patch learned that a new charter school is coming to Inwood at 400 West 219th Street. The new 104-foot school will replace a one-story family auto repair shop property that has been at the site for the past 40 years.
