West Tremont Ave, Morris Heights

W Tremont is basically the same as E Tremont. Low income families, high crime, dirty streets. It's not worth going to unless you want your wallet stolen (check my post on E Tremont for THAT story!) Yeah there are a good deal of dirty little shops and restaurants, but they dont offer a good retail shopping experience. There is a lot of traffic, lots of homeless beggers on the street corners, and just a bleak neighborhood. The last time I was there the only thing I thought about was getting home and taking a shower!

Freeman Street is filled with several service oriented businesses and shops. This area is wonderful and near the beautiful East River. With limited traffic and a nice neighborhood feel, this area is a great place for people with families or looking to take a break from the hecticness of the midtown area. This is a good place to live and I really enjoyed the area.
