"A Very Short Two Blocks That Ends as Beauty"

W. 154th Street is very short. It covers about two blocks and ends at Jackie Robinson Park. Where the street meets Macombs Place there is a Toyota Dealership and a Post Office at the corner. After this are a bunch of residential buildings on one side and a commercial building on another side.

This block is mainly made up of stores and commercial facilities, but there are some residential buildings in places.
Pros
  • Plenty of stores
  • Mixed bag
Cons
  • Some area are not great looking
  • Too many people at times

"West 154th Street"

The blocks in this neighborhood vary greatly, as some are filled with life and that NYC magic and others are lackluster. This is a tree-lined street in a somewhat lackluster neighborhood, and I think the buildings here are great. I also think it is more convenient than other streets and there is generally more life. A good place to begin the beginne in the Heights.
