Located at the intersection of Mount Eden and Jerome Avenues in the Highbridge neighborhood of the Bronx, it is served by the 4 train at all times.

As part of Contract 3, the IRT agreed to build an elevated line along Jerome Avenue in the Bronx.

[3][4][5] Mount Eden Avenue station opened as part of the initial section of the line to Kingsbridge Road on June 2, 1917.

[10][11] The construction of the line encouraged development along Jerome Avenue, and led to the growth of the surrounding communities.

It has two staircases going up to each platform, a waiting area/crossunder, turnstile bank, token booth, and two street stairs going down to the northern corners of Mount Eden and Jerome Avenues.
