The neighborhood

University Heights

University Heights takes its name from the former NYU campus (now Bronx Community College) perched on a bluff above the Harlem River. The student population mixes with a largely Dominican residential community, and the Hall of Fame for Great Americans is a little-known landmark on campus.
