Inwood

As far north as you can get in Manhattan, Inwood is unlike any other neighborhood in the borough. Equal parts bucolic and urban, Inwood offers residents amazing river views and tons of green space as well as low housing costs and relatively fast commutes to Midtown.

At a Glance

With unadulterated, natural views and incredibly hilly topography, Inwood feels very different than the rest of Manhattan. And yet, Inwood is still very much a classic Upper Manhattan neighborhood with a small-town feel. Along Dyckman, you’ll find plenty of mom and pop eateries side-by-side with unpretentious wine bars and restaurants. While it is far from the heart of Midtown, residents enjoy relatively short commutes to Midtown via the A train or the 1 train. The area offers a mix of single-family homes, co-ops and rentals in large apartment buildings. Across the board, Inwood has some of the most affordable housing costs in the city.
