Living in Morningside Heights is a breath of fresh air from the commotion of downtown and midtown NYC. The neighborhood is full of small businesses and is incredibly well kept and it feels as if though you're living in a bubble. The atmosphere is generally calm and family-friendly but also rich in diversity. Its main points of interest include the stunning St. John's cathedral, Columbia University, and my personal favorite the Hungarian Pastry Shop!
Morningside Heights is one of the best and most convenient neighborhoods in the New York city. The commute to any part of Manhattan is fast and easy by both train and a car. There are 3 parks in the area - Riverside, Morningside and Central park which serve as a great escape from the city buzz. You can also find an abundance of restaurants for any taste and budget, as well as good grocery stores. The neighborhood is safe and quite.
A huge part of the Morningside Heights is taken over by Columbia University, so the choice of apartments is scarce but if you can snatch one, you will not regret it!

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.
