Manhattan Apartment Rental Info
Washington Heights / Inwood (Manhattan Apartments) Neighborhood Information for Apartment Renters
- Washington Heights
- Across the Hudson River you'll see the Palisades, created eons ago by a shift in the fault line. One of the best names in all of New York is the Spuyten Duyvil Creek (pronounced Spite-ten Die-vil), links the Harlem and Hudson Rivers. The geography is breathtaking; the cheap rents will also take your breath away. The western section of Washington Heights, called Hudson Heights, has the most desirable apartments, many with river views, although the best buildings are co-ops.
- Inwood
- The Cloisters, a gift to the city from John D. Rockefeller, Jr, sits on the high ground as a silent sentry watching over Inwood, Manhattan's northernmost neighborhood. Inwood Hill Park has six miles of footpaths through woods which bring you closer to nature than any place in Vermont.
