UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

I live in the nabe - people are really friendly and safe (and apartments are SICK), but it has no services at all - no nice bars or restaurants. But, it's close to Fairway and Fresh Direct delivers, and truly is a lovely part of town with a great vibe.
[ Reply | More ]NP: I love in castle village in the hudson heights areas of Wash heights and LOVE it...8 acres of private grounds, river views, private playground and tons of families with young kids. Used to live on upper east and upper west sides and much prefer this.

I agree that this area of washington heights is not so great. But 181st/fort washington area has much better services, nice families, small town feel. But definitely not the uws if that is what you are looking for, more edgy (for better or worse)
[ Reply | More ]Thank you so much, all of you. we are seriously thinking of moving up there. One of my concerns is that we won't "use" the city--won't get to museums and stores and won't see friends, who will be reluctant to come see us. Has this been an issue for you? Thanks!
[ Reply | More ]your friends will rarely visit you tis true. as my kids have gotten older, it's been much easier to go downtown to museums/central park/etc. but it's tough with very little ones. many people up here own cars, and it's easy to escape the city via gw bridge.
[ Reply | More ]I've not had this experience. The express A train is right there, and close to the 1 train too. Also, the neighborhood is right by the GW bridge yet easy to get to the east side by car as well.
[ Reply | More ]OP, I grew up in Washington Heights; It's always been terrific, with pockets of crap. The 'Hudson Heights' posters are clearly either contractors, realtors or believed those folks when renting/buying-there's no such place-outside of a sales pitch; It's the Washington Heights. There are great apts in the hood you've listed-are you the seller?I think it's too high for the Riviera right now.Fairway is 2 minutes away,UWS is 5 mins and it's one of the most convenient areas, multicultural, socioeconomically diverse and family oriented. Most often, people disparaging it don't like Riverbank,Ft Tryon,Bodegas or LATINOS.
