Fieldston is a privately owned[3] affluent neighborhood in the Riverdale section of the northwestern part of the New York City borough of the Bronx.

[3] The majority of the neighborhood is included in the Fieldston Historic District, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2006.

Rather than use a grid plan, civil engineer Albert E. Wheeler, following the suggestions made by Frederick Law Olmsted and James R. Croes in 1876, designed a street plan which followed the contours of the land and preserved as much of the wooded areas as possible.

Annual dues are paid by the approximately 250 homeowners who make up the Association to maintain the area.

On January 10, 2006,[5] the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the majority of the Fieldston neighborhood[6] as an historic district.
