Hudson Heights
"Hudson Heights" is not to be confused with "Hudson Square." It's located near Washington Heights in northern Manhattan. "Longhill" is an older name for the area.

The neighborhood is called Hudson Heights by local real estate brokers and activists, to distinguish it from the sprawling blocks of Washington Heights to the south and east. It is situated west of Broadway between the George Washington Bridge and Fort Tryon Park and is set on rocky cliffs above the Hudson River.

Strictly speaking the neighborhood of Hudson Heights is bounded on the South by J. Hood Wright Park at 175 Street, Broadway to the East, and Fort Tryon Park up top. The name came to be when a group of concerned shareholder residents (Hudson Heights Owners Coalition) decided to differentiate our neck of the woods from the part where all that drug dealing and drive by shooting was going on. Well it took awhile but it worked. And now that there's no more drug crime violence it's even better.
