Its virtually nonexistent. It's a dying community. My dad grew up there, and my grandparents lived there until they died/moved to nursing home.
Most people have moved out or are homebound elderly.
There is a tiny minyan in the area, but don't know much about it.
There is a lively community not too far away at the Einstein Medical School apartments, and Riverdale the most Jewish area of the Bronx and is thriving.

My grandparents (now not allive anymore) moved out of that area about 15 years ago when the jewish community was really growing smaller and smaller.
I would assume that the shul either has a tiny time minyan or nothing anymore. When my grandparents lived there the shul was mainly full of senior citizens, a few younger families, but not that many.

Tiny. As previously stated. They are/were trying to grow the community by offering a rather large financial incentive to move there...money toward home/apt. school.

I lived there a few years ago as a single person. The community is tiny. The apartments are all pre-war, but depending on each block/building they can be nice or horrible.
Definitely look into whether you can visit it for a Shabbat before you make a decision

I know a older/middle aged couple who still live there, and have davened in their little shteeble shul several times. They raised all of their kids there and feel no incentive to sell their house and move.
If you like, I can PM you their contact information so that you can call and ask someone with very firsthand knowledge of how it is there now.
