Current Resident: I have lived in this neighborhood since I was two and it has changed a lot over the years. I have loved living here throughout my childhood. As a child, I enjoyed going to Rockefeller Park, partaking in neighborhood activities such as art and sports, and walking along the Hudson River. Over the years more stores and nearby tourist attractions have appeared which has made it an exciting place to live. Some changes could include stringent rodent control and an increase of trash cans, to avoid trash ending up on the ground.... Read 10 reviews

Current Resident: It's a very certainly located neighborhood, you're close to midtown and downtown respectively. There's a vast variety of dining options as well as bar's, sometimes on the weekends the bar's can be annoying however. It can definitely be a friendly neighborhood with a "small town" feel to some extent, my local dry cleaner, deli, bar, restaurant and pharmacy all know me on a first name basis and generally know what I want without having to ask me. Love the neighborhood!... Read 13 reviews

Current Resident: I've lived the majority of my life in this neighborhood and overall, it is fantastic. I graduated from City and Country Middle School and am entering the Abraham Joshua Heschel High School. The Village is overwhelmingly liberal and there are many LGBTQ+ people living around because the LGBT Center is in the village. Sometimes walking past that area I feel uncomfortable because there are many homeless people living on that street. However, everything else is incredible. You can't live the same life uptown or even in midtown. Downtown in the meatpacking district is really the best.... Read 16 reviews

Former Resident: Fantastic neighborhood in Brooklyn. I lived here for 5 years - before the Barclays center was built and moved out just after it opened. Once it opened, the neighborhood got busier and had more commercial activity. Some of this was good (more food and retail options) and some bad (traffic, pedestrian noise). Overall it was a lovely place to live full of nice tree lined streets, diverse and friendly people, and great food/drink options. Close to trains (subway and LIRR) and the park. Great for families. Not so great for parking. Felt very safe here and had no issues. Wish I could afford to buy something, but it’s just so expensive.... Read 18 reviews

Current Resident: 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!... Read 39 reviews

Current Resident: I love living in Park Slope! It's very friendly, great for kids and adults alike, there's lots going on and the architecture is beautiful. The proximity to Prospect Park on one side and the breweries of Gowanus on the other doesn't hurt either.

Current Resident: Charming neighborhood! There are many amazing Italian restaurants, local coffee shops, beautiful tree-lined streets, large grocery stores and more! It is a more quiet part of Brooklyn, but still an easy commute into the city if you want crazy nightlife opportunities. You are a short walk from Brooklyn Bridge Park, Park Slope, and other large outdoor spaces to walk your dog or go for a run. There are several subway stops as well as bus stops to make it easy to get around. It is a safe neighborhood. The neighborhood is Brooklyn's best kept secret.... Read 22 reviews

Current Resident: I’ve lived in Cobble Hill off and one for the past 15 years. We recently purchased another townhome to restore my in 2018 (top of the market). Unfortunately COVId and the way the economy was on the downhill before the virus has made it very difficult for my tenants (who all make $200k or more in salary) pay their rent. New York has become a little too much of an advocate for the tenant. It’s wiping away our neighborhood. I work for a real estate analytics group and I fear this area will price people out.

The supermarkets, the laundromat, the grocery store, the discount store, beauty supply store, restaurants, parks are all nearby and at walking distance which is very comfortable.

Current Resident: I've been born and raised in Forest Hills for practically my entire life or for as long as I can remember. It's such a wonderful neighborhood and I can't imagine growing up somewhere else. Forest Hills has such great schools in the area and everything is pretty much walking distance from each other. Recently, the area has upgraded a lot and many more people from different areas in NY have been relocating to the neighborhood. It is very safe and even if you're walking at night there will still be people around since the nightlife is usually busy in the central Forest Hills area. There's so much to do as well including malls, amusement centers, zoos, parks, and amazing restaurants. Neighborhoods tend to be very close-knit and you'll always see lots of familiar faces around. However, the subway tends to be a bit dirty and hazardous so you should be careful when walking in. There's lots of homeless people on Austin St. so that's a red flag to. Other than that, Forest Hills is very homey.... Read 123 reviews

Senior: When I was younger, school was a source of confidence. I felt like I was good at it and could end the day feeling accomplished. As I got older, that changed. School became frustrating. It began to make me feel badly about myself. This was so discouraging and degrading. I started not wanting to go to school, not wanting to even try. My sophomore year I knew things had to change if I wanted to have a good future and go to a good college. We found Cortona Academy and, honestly, my life changed! Cortona Academy made me feel good about learning again and helped build-up my confidence. They made school less frustrating, making sure I understood something before moving on, making certain I had a strong foundation and could successfully tackle any subject put in my path. Cortona Academy helped bring up my GPA and, most importantly, helped me feel ready for college. I no longer feel discouraged; I no longer feel like I can't. Cortona Academy has shown me that I “can,” no matter what.... Read 23 reviews

Parent: As parents of a child currently enrolled in the W+H Early Childhood Program, we are blown away by the curriculum, holistically. Our daughter LOVES SCHOOL! The faculty members are passionate about their respective areas of concentration and show genuine care for the children understanding foundational educational theories. This is not a memorization and regurgitation environment. The community of parents and students is more like another family, very nurturing and supportive. W+H has fostered a multicultural/ globally inclusive environment, teaching both students and families about the beauty and cultures of the community through various different platforms. The value of this experience for our daughter is priceless! It is well worth the investment as it is teaching our child empathy and social responsibility as well as giving her a first-rate education.... Read 83 reviews
