Inwood
Inwood is Uptown, north of Dyckman Street, the northernmost community on the island of Manhattan, just north of Washington Heights. Home to a large park, a natural forest, and a salt marsh, Inwood is a place where one can find access to urban living without losing the joy of a pastoral, post-dinner walk. Inwood includes the Dyckman Public Houses as well as some more mid-level apartment spaces with nice views of the Harlem River. Apartment hunters wishing to remain in Manhattan find Inwood as a place to be this affordable neighborhood offers co-ops, some free-standing single-family homes and, most recently, a few luxury condos. In Inwood, townhouses and Art Deco apartment buildings lie to the west of Broadway, and rental housing to the East, where there’s also vibrant street life.
Inwood also offers fun and growing nightlife and a variety of new restaurants including Park Terrace Bistro, a Moroccan restaurant on Broadway with raves from Zagat’s and the Michelin Guide.
Inwood is known for its woody, rocky parks – great for hiking, birding, and butterfly-watching — even kayaking. The 196-acre Inwood Hill Park offers green the way it used to be — the last natural forest and salt marsh in Manhattan. If you want a water view, the Inwood Canoe Club is the oldest canoe and kayak club in Manhattan, founded in 1902. In addition, for several evenings every summer, the Moose Hall Theater Company runs a free outdoor Shakespeare festival.
