Morningside Heights
Morningside Heights is defined by its institutions — Columbia, Barnard, Union Theological, St. John the Divine — and by the substantial pre-war apartment houses built along Riverside Drive, West End Avenue, and Claremont Avenue to serve them. The buildings are large and well-proportioned, and much of the buyer pool carries a university affiliation. That institutional demand is steadier through cycles and thins the resale pool in both directions. On the buildings we track, closings run unusually close to ask and apartments are large by Manhattan standards.
