thats 1 thing that really pisses me off is that these new residents are using these terms created by brokers and altering the neighborhoods....there's no such thing as WaHi, Hudson Heights, Hudson Square, etc....gimme a break.
I agree with you..Although, The local newspaper (Manahhatn Times) has been calling Washington-Heights/Inwood, WaHi for a while now....Nothing wrong with that, But something is way wrong with "HUDSON HEIGHTS" NO SUCH THING..SORRY~~~

My favorite of these newly minted names is SoHa. . .South Harlem. . .come on!
I live in Riverdale, and I get off at the 207th street A train stop to catch the bus up to my 'burb. I agree that it is pretty sketchy around there, but somewhat south is not bad. I have friends who live near the Cloisters, and it's really nice around there. That 10-15 blocks makes a big difference.
I'm possibly looking in 181st and Cabrini tomorrow - does $1000 sharing a 2br sound too high? This is including all utilities / internet / cable.. supposed to be pretty large as well. I'll be coming up from Ohio and am not familiar with the area besides what I've read online / heard from others.
$1000/person for a large 2-BR share with all the utilities in 181/Cabrini sounds just about right. Of course, a lot of it would depend on the building and unit itself. For a comparable unit further downtown, it would be much much more expensive. And the area is pretty good in itself already.
We're all living in neighborhoods with made-up names. You think there was a Yorkville in 1664? A Greenwich Village? An Alphabet City? A Cobble Hill?
There was no Soho until the 70's, Tribeca came a few years later. They were older, industrial areas that were becoming magnet areas for artists who were (at least early on) able to grab the vacated huge industrial spaces and turn them into (initially illegal) home/studios. These names came about when they distinguished themselves as something other than the neighborhoods around them. If only from what I've read here, Hudson Heights is distinct from Washington Heights. Face it: ten years from now you'll be accepting it as normal, just as you do Gramercy Park.
