The neighborhood

Upper West Side

The northern Upper West Side around 100th to 110th streets is where Columbia University's influence begins to creep in. Morningside Park, cheaper rents than the 70s and 80s, and a diverse mix of academics, families, and longtime residents give it an easygoing, unpretentious energy.
