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.
