Nestled between Broadway and Central Park West is the newly revived suburb of Manhattan Valley. This neighborhood stretches from 96th street to 110th, and was often a forgotten section of the Upper West Side until rather recently.
Manhattan Valley spent it’s early New York life as many neighborhoods on Northern Manhattan did: as farmland. Once belonging to the Bloomingdale District (so named because most farms and houses could be found along Bloomingdale road), this area wasn’t densely populated until the electric rail system made its way up north around 1870.
Once the area became more accessible, tenements and apartment complexes were built. These homes housed many immigrant and Puerto Rican populations until the 1950’s and 60’s when the neighborhood faced the same urban decay as the rest of the city. Crime rates rose, buildings were abandoned, and the neighborhood fell into disrepair.
With city renewal in the 1990’s New York began to dig itself out of a hole, though Manhattan Valley was a bit late to the game. It wasn’t until the early 2000’s that buildings and row houses saw dramatic renovations, even though crime had dropped while commercial enterprises kept popping up. Today, despite its prime location next to Central Park, Manhattan Valley is still one of the cheaper parts of Manhattan.
Manhattan Valley has a wide variety of buildings in the area, from high rises with views of the park, to the mid-rise co-ops and public housing, all the way down to the low-rise complexes and row houses. With a healthy mix of modern luxury apartments and pre-war complexes, Manhattan Valley truly has a mix of everything.
Ask anyone who lives in Manhattan Valley and they’ll tell you it’s the best neighborhood in the city. The people are friendly, there’s tons of good food, it's close to the park, and it provides easy access to the rest of the island.
This neighborhood is definitely on the residential side, housing long time residents and newcomers alike. Many apartments are still under renovations. However, the ones that have been refurbished are stylish, yet subtle, just like the neighborhood they reside in.
Manhattan Valley is quiet, safe, and many schools and hospitals are accessible by residents. There’s a lot of family-friendly activities to do, especially with Central Park as your backyard. With all this in mind, Manhattan Valley is a wonderful place for families to visit and live.
The New York City subway provides tremendous access to Manhattan Valley via the 1, 2, 3, A, B, C, and D trains.
Biking is also popular in this area due to its proximity to Central Park, the numerous bike lanes, as well as the decent number of Citi Bike docking stations that can be found here.
Driving in this area is a breeze. Manhattan Valley has easy access to the West Side Highway, traffic is never really a problem up here and there’s a ton of parking available.
