Morris Heights, Bronx at a Glance

Morris Heights is a residential neighborhood in the west-central Bronx, perched on elevated ground above the Harlem River with views toward Manhattan and the George Washington Bridge.

Single-family homes are relatively rare in this densely built area.

The neighborhood is home to Bronx Community College (CUNY), housed in the historic former New York University uptown campus featuring Stanford White–designed buildings and the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, a 630-foot outdoor sculpture gallery.
