Historically the Upper Westside is generally considered Uptown Manhattan’s more liberal/artistic half. This is due in large part to this district’s long history as home to writers, intellectuals, and the like.
It is an eclectic community, catering to individuals from numerous walks of life (both socially and financially speaking), and is saturated with scores of diverse amenities, to satisfy its highly varied residents.
Home to the Museum of Natural History, the coveted Strawberry Fields/Dakota building, and many critically acclaimed eateries—the Upper Westside is ideal for those wishing to be at the center of some of New York City’s richest cultural happenings.
Its Northern post section--Morningside Heights--also boasts Columbia University’s main campus, making it a popular area for students, University employees, and academics.
