West 107 St, Manhattan Valley

107th streets offers so much and yet it's almost never talked about. Lined by lovely buildings 107th street on the west side offers residents Central Park to the east and Riverside park to the west. It's close to Columbia University and is only a quick ride to downtown by way of conveniently located subway stations. Residents will find everything they could want or need at the cross streets. Visitors should consider the Morningside Inn for great accommodations.

Like its neighbors, this street has great access to the park and the river. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as Columbia University. I wouldn't mind living in this area, because of its fast access to the downtown area by metro, as well as many bus lines, not to mention the places nearby. It's mainly residential and somewhat overrun by Ivy Leaguers, but that shouldn't deter you from looking here if you're moving to the city.
