Morris Heights is a lively neighborhood that sits on the western edge along the Harlem River. Known for its hilly terrain, it offers charming views and a sense of community that draws residents in. The area is peppered with green spaces like Morris Heights Playground and Featherbed Lane Playground, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a fun day out. This neighborhood has a rich history tied to the influential Morris family and even serves as the birthplace of hip-hop, adding a unique cultural vibe. Although the cost of living here is about 27 percent higher than the New York average, the energetic community and amenities make it an attractive place to call home.
Residents often find employment in nearby health institutions such as the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center and the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, though many also commute to Manhattan. The neighborhood is well-connected to the rest of the city, with several subway and bus lines making travel convenient.
