East of the [[Bronx River]], the borough is relatively flat and includes four large low peninsulas, or 'necks,' of low-lying land which jut into the waters of the East River and were once saltmarsh: Hunts Point, Clason's Point, Screvin's Neck (Castle Hill Point) and [[Throgs Neck]]. The East Bronx has older tenement buildings, low income public housing complexes, and multifamily homes, as well as single family homes. It includes New York City's largest park: [[Pelham Bay Park]] along the [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester]]-Bronx border.

City Island is east of [[Pelham Bay Park]] in [[Long Island Sound]] and is known for its seafood restaurants and private waterfront homes.<ref>{{cite news | last=Fischler | first=Marcelle Sussman | title=City Island, a Quainter Side of the Bronx |work=The New York Times | date=September 13, 2015 | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/13/realestate/city-island-a-quainter-side-of-the-bronx.html | access-date=January 23, 2016}}</ref> City Island's single shopping street, City Island Avenue, is reminiscent of a small New England town. It is connected to [[Rodman's Neck]] on the mainland by the [[City Island Bridge]].

East of City Island is [[Hart Island (New York)|Hart Island]], which is uninhabited and not open to the public. It once served as a prison and now houses New York City's [[potter's field]] for unclaimed bodies.<ref>{{cite web | last=Walshe | first=Sadhbh | title='Like a prison for the dead': welcome to Hart Island, home to New York City's pauper graves |work=[[The Guardian]]| date=June 3, 2015 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/03/hart-island-new-york-city-mass-burial-graves | access-date=January 23, 2016}}</ref>
