When you think of New York, you probably think of Times Square, 5th Ave, Wall Street, Broadway…do you think of it as a "college town?" Probably never. But it is! Come to Morningside Heights, home to Columbia University, Barnard College and several other smaller universities like Manhattan School of Music.  

This is where we bought our first apartment. We loved the area - it's quiet and residential, creating some distance from the hustling and bustling concrete jungle, but we are still very close to the culture, performance art and business centers. I grew up in a college town - that's where I learned about the outside. I remember living really close to the English Department and computer labs in Yunnan University, and that opened up my world completely. It was when that I decided to go study abroad, leading to my almost 15 years in NYC. 

As a real estate agent, I found many newcomers not sure which neighborhood to move in. So I created a series of videos to introduce different areas in New York; we'll get to know the city neighborhood by neighborhood.
