Neighborhood Profiles

Morningside Heights

Morningside Heights is often referred to as the 'Academic Acropolis' of New York, home to Columbia University and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Perched on a plateau between Riverside and Morningside Parks, the neighborhood offers a scholarly and serene atmosphere. The real estate market is dominated by grand pre-war cooperatives with high ceilings and classic details, catering to those who appreciate historic architecture and green space.

Ridgewood

Ridgewood features orderly blocks of brick and limestone rowhouses, prewar tenements with decorative cornices, and multi-family buildings constructed between 1905 and 1925, making it one of Queens' most architecturally consistent neighborhoods. The M train runs through the heart of the area with stops at Seneca Avenue, Forest Avenue, and Fresh Pond Road, while the L train connects at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues. Highland Park and Ridgewood Reservoir border the neighborhood to the south, and the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House, an 18th-century landmark, marks the historic Queens-Brooklyn boundary.
