Morningside Heights

An uptown neighborhood with perspective.

Morningside Heights is shaped by its major institutions and remarkable architecture. Columbia University, Riverside Church, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine sit within a neighborhood framed by Riverside Park and Morningside Park.

Established apartment buildings and residential side streets contribute a more intimate layer around these landmarks. Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue provide the everyday commercial rhythm. The result is an uptown setting where academic life, cultural institutions, green space, and residential architecture are closely interwoven.
