Located on the highest point in upper Manhattan, the
neighborhood, historically ravaged with crime, is now ranked as
Manhattan's 4th safest neighborhood. While many families have
resided in this neighborhood for over several generations, the area
is now seeing a rising popularity from young professionals and
Columbia University students.
Apartment buildings in this area sport gorgeous pre-war
architecture and spacious five and six room apartments that seem
downright palatial for Manhattan standards. The "Heights" include a
number of step streets that connect wide avenues for pedestrian
navigation and the lack of tall buildings makes for a relatively
unblemished skyline.
