There's an chance that a change in circumstances would lead us to want to move somewhere close(r) to Columbia U. Anyone have any thoughts on best reasonably affordable area to live if that happens? UWS is probably out of our range unless there's some UUWS pocket I don't know about. I guess that leaves Morningside, Harlem, "Hamilton Heights"?

Inwood's nice.

oh yeah hmm, not a bad idea, we have friends there
― huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:45 (twelve years ago)
When we had friends living there it was really pleasant to visit, with nice amenities and parks, etc. I would definitely consider it if I wanted to live in Manhattan.

I had a friend up there a couple of years ago and he liked it a lot, but I don't remember what he was paying.

yeah it seems nice but a little boring maybe? Like i didn't notice much commercial stuff where my friends live.
― huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:54 (twelve years ago)
yeah my memory of it was that it was quiet

there's a little gentrified strip near the columbia stadium w/ a pretty good cafe/restaurant, but most of the other commercial stuff is outerbouroughy

really don't want to move again, but if the contingency comes through and we move it would mean wife's job and school both within a short distance, and commute would be the same for me, so it might be hard to pass up.

Last place I lived in NYC was on W. 99th -- we also moved there because of proximity to Columbia -- but it wasn't exactly cheap. $3,400 for two bedrooms, and that was three years ago, no idea what it is now. That whole stretch of upper Broadway is great, though, I really dug the area.

Inwood close to Washington Heights and the whole Western section of that area was pretty nice from what I remember, and had some nicer amenities ... a few decent grocery stores, wine/jazz bars, Fort Tryon park, etc. East side Washington Heights (where I lived) is pretty gross, though, and the whole strip south of that is grungy (dudes wandering around offering you weed for your groceries, heroin addicts passed out on garbage cans, hoodlums lurking in the shadows), so mixed bag maybe.
