The area code 347 is located in Bronx, New York.
Area code 347 serves the Bronx, New York, as part of New York City’s outer-borough calling area alongside 718, 929, and 917. It covers neighborhoods across the city’s northernmost borough and also reaches other 718 regions like Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Manhattan neighborhood of Marble Hill. This overlay system adds new phone numbers without changing existing ones. The Bronx sits just north of Manhattan and borders Westchester County, making 347 numbers common for residents, businesses, and mobile phones across the borough.
Within the Bronx, 347 connects callers to major landmarks and destinations such as:
Area code 347 was introduced in 1999 as an overlay to 718, and later joined by 929 in 2011, helping meet the boroughs’ high demand for new phone numbers. Because 347 overlays multiple boroughs, a 347 phone number can be assigned in the Bronx as well as Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Marble Hill. The Bronx is the only New York City borough located primarily on the U.S. mainland, adding to its unique identity within the city. The region follows Eastern Time and observes daylight saving time, which is useful for scheduling calls.
With overlays and number portability, you can’t pinpoint a specific neighborhood from a 347 phone number alone. Expect ten-digit dialing (area code + number) for all local calls, which is standard across New York City. For context, Manhattan uses 212/646/332, while 347/718/929 and 917 cover the Bronx and the other outer boroughs.
