Manhattan Valley Neighborhood Guide

Geographically, Manhattan Valley comes by its name honestly - there is an actual physical depression that runs from east to west across Manhattan Island. Neighborhood wise, the blocks between West 96th Street and West 110th Street form the "valley" between the Upper West Side and Morningside Heights. Historically this was a neighborhood of immigrants, first the Irish and Germans and, after World War II, Hispanics. Prior to this century you would not have found Manhattan Valley on any list of desirable New York neighborhoods but in recent years gentrification has taken hold - there is even a local Whole Foods these days. The proximity of Manhattan Valley to Columbia University provides a steady infusion of youth and diversification to the area.

Architecture and landmarks

Manhattan Valley is home to some of the city's finest institutional architecture. Start with the French Chateau-esque New York Cancer Hospital at 455 Central Park West that was the first hospital in America whose sole mission was the treatment of cancer when it opened in 1886. The castle-like building has been re-purposed as luxury apartments. Famed architect Richard Morris Hunt used his whole playbook for the Victorian Gothic design of the Association Residence Nursing Home in 1881; today it is the largest youth hostel (672 beds) in the United States and likely the most spectacular. The striking Byzantine-styled Church of the Ascension is shoehorned into the middle of the 200 blocks of West 107th Street. Frederick Douglass Circle is one of the key transportation intersections of New York and honors the contributions of the abolitionist and statesman who became the first African-American to visit the White House when invited by Abraham Lincoln. More than a century later Barack Obama would rent an apartment at 142 West 109th Street in Manhattan Valley when he came to Columbia for his junior year in college.

Transport

Subway lines 1, 2, 3 and A, B, C and D all whisk residents up and down Manhattan Island from stops in the neighborhood. Many north-south bus routes service Manhattan Valley and crosstown buses run along 110th Street - M96, M116, M104, M11, M10 and M7.

Schools

Education in Manhattan Valley is the responsibility of District 3 which operates Alfred E. Smith School, Robert E. Simon School, and Bloomingdale School for primary students and Edward A. Reynolds West Side High School and Booker T. Washington Middle School for older students. There are also a handful of private schools for residents to choose from: the elementary and middle school of the Holy Name of Jesus Roman Catholic; the Ascension School for PK-8 students; the co-educational Mandell School; the Solomon Schechter School of Manhattan, a Jewish day school; and the Twin Parks Montessori School.

Health

Cure Urgent Care on Broadway plugs the cap between emergency rooms and doctor appointments with preventative services and treatment for minor injuries and disease. Extended hours are offered and no appointments are necessary.

Safety

Manhattan Valley is under the watch of the 24th Precinct. According to crime reports there were 10.33 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2016, placing the neighborhood at the high end of New York City safety rankings.

Things to do

You can pursue your lifestyle with ease in Manhattan Valley no matter where you are in life's journey. There are dive bars and coffeehouses for the college crowd. There are plenty of places to push a stroller and convenient shopping at national chains for young families. And there are strong neighborhood ties and routines for long-time residents. Hardcore foodies may despair over the lack of star-caliber chefs, but will be surprised at the variety and abundance of affordable eats in the neighborhood.

Be sure to take advantage of the programs held at Columbia University that are open to the community, such as the annual Film Festival. The Smoke Jazz and Supper Club dishes out world-class jazz seven nights a week and has been doing so since being named New York Magazine's "Best New Jazz Club" in 2000.

Manhattan Valley is hard by the northern end of Central Park with its rolling Great Hill section, the tranquil waters of the Harlem Meer and the still-wild North Woods where only the hand of nature is visible. A few blocks away on the Hudson River is Riverside Park. Scattered through the neighborhood are Booker T. Washington Playground, Bloomingdale Playground and Anibal Aviles Playground.
