Living near top schools and parks on Manhattan’s west side
Stretching from Riverside Drive to Morningside Drive, Morningside Heights is an Upper Manhattan neighborhood that's home to some of the city's top academic institutions. "Many people think of Columbia University when they think of Morningside Heights," says Joan Kagan, licensed associate real estate broker with over 15 years of experience and founder of the Joan Kagan at The Agency NYC. "But it's also Barnard College, Manhattan School of Music, Teachers College, Jewish Theological Seminary." And while college campuses—and off-campus housing—dominate much of the area, Morningside Heights is known for its historic homes, expansive parks and easy connections to Manhattan's west side. "Morningside Heights is quieter and slower paced, but you're still in New York City," says Julia Boland, licensed associate real estate broker at The Corcoran Group, who has over 10 years of experience selling in Upper Manhattan. "All you have to do is hop on the 1 train and you're at Lincoln Center."
Beautiful tree-lined streets make up most of Morningside Heights.

Landmarked buildings lend a distinguished presence
More than 100 buildings are a part of the Morningside Heights Historic District, covering residential and institutional structures. "The landmark restrictions are pretty strict, so most of the buildings are lower," explains Kagan. "What that means is the avenues feel wider and the streets feel lighter and brighter. And you have a lot of elegant older buildings." Co-ops in prewar buildings and newly renovated units within condos provide the most available housing in Morningside Heights. Two-bedroom co-ops range from about $600,000 to $1.3 million, while two-bedroom condos in a new luxury building like Robert A.M. Stern's Claremont Hall range from $1.7 million to $2.5 million. "Townhouses and single-family homes are rare. For one of these, you're unlikely to find anything less than $4 million," says Kagan. For those on a more modest budget, a studio in a co-op building can be bought for about $300,000 to $600,000.

Flanked by Riverside and Morningside parks
Lush green spaces bookend Morningside Heights. Riverside Park stretches along the western boundary and offers sweeping views of the Hudson River. At the north end of the park is the monumental Grant’s Tomb, the largest mausoleum in the US. The park also has a bird sanctuary where visitors might see white-throated sparrows and great blue herons, among several other native and migrating species. On the neighborhood’s east side is Morningside Park, which includes everything from children’s playgrounds to a cascading waterfall. It’s a socially and culturally dynamic green space that serves the Morningside Heights community, and Central Harlem and Little Senegal to the east.
Grant's Tomb in Morningside Heights is largest mausoleum in North America.

Old-school eateries including the “Seinfeld” diner
Tom’s Restaurant, whose façade was made famous in “Seinfeld,” is perhaps the neighborhood’s most famous dining spot, but a close second is the Hungarian Pastry Shop, where locals come for Eastern European-style pastries and traditional Hungarian coffee in the quiet setting of this 1960s-era café. A contemporary favorite is Community Food & Juice for organic, seasonal fare. Pisticci is a smart trattoria serving Italian favorites like rigatoni à la vodka. West Side Market on Broadway is a go-to spot for groceries and there’s a year-round farmers market taking place every week at the entrance to Columbia.
The Hungarian Pastry Shop is renowned for its cappuccinos in Morningside Heights.

Community events like Culture on the Corner
Several neighborhood universities welcome the surrounding community with free and open programming. One is Culture on the Corner, an event series that creatively explores the vibrant neighborhood culture at The Forum on Columbia’s campus. During the Morningside Lights festival each September, dozens of large and colorful lanterns brighten the neighborhood’s evening sky. Every April, locals flock to Sakura Park off Riverside Drive to view the vividly pink cherry tree blossoms in bloom. Next to the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, residents can enjoy the community garden at West 111th Street.
The beautiful Peace Fountain by Greg Wyatt is also located in Julia Gabriel's People's Garden.

So close to the beautiful parks and Columbia campus, plus the cathedral of Saint John the Devine which is somewhat of a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Mostly families and colleges students live in the neighborhood and there are many different restaurants and bubble tea places to go to in very short distance from eachother.

I am an 18 yr old (female) living in W114th st. There are at least one cases daily of someone getting hurt (stabbed, shot, gun dispute, slashed) based on the citizen app (especially near W 107th st). I personally don't recommend staying outside after 8 pm. There are a lot of cars with their car stereo music up to MAX volume near Morningside park. I come from a country where there is very little violence, so I do get scared and paranoid from time to time
