"A bit out of the way, but not out of the question."

West 129th street is an eclectic street in the northern part of Manhattan. It's not in the most desirable neighborhood, but that also makes living in the area somewhat more reasonable than the rest of the city. Because of it's northern location getting to midtown can be a bit of a trek, but it is not one that will make movement around the city impossible. The area around 129th street recognizes it's Jazz heritage and it's always nice to visit some of the places including lounges and restaurants that have been heavily influenced by the Jazz movement. A point of interest for travels might be the Jazz on the Villa Hostel. The Hostel offers sleeping accommodations in a beautifully restored building at very reasonable prices.

"West 129th Street"

No remarkable places to eat, but there is some shopping and other quick fixes! There's so much nearby, you'll be hard-pressed to feel inconvenienced.

This is Harlem at it’s finest and there are so many wonderful things to do here. You can access the metro very easily and there is a lot in the way of food. Housing may be a little challenging in this neighborhood but you can also find a realtor.
