About Marble Hill

Marble Hill’s official borough allegiance has long been debated. Although it’s not technically located on Manhattan Island and sits closer to the Bronx, Marble Hill still belongs to Manhattan, according to historic records. Legalities aside, the neighborhood is a tiny area consisting of curved roads and charming details. During the revolution, Marble Hill was treasured as an outlook over the bridges connecting Manhattan to the Bronx. The Harlem River snakes through one border of Marble Hill known as the Harlem River Ship Canal. The area is nowhere near as isolated as it once was, but it remains a tucked away slice of a slow-paced urban area.

Around Marble Hill

The 1920s brought large apartment buildings, taking advantage of the breathtaking views. Now, among iconic apartment buildings, there are single-family homes with attached driveways and yards. Adrian Avenue represents the delightful mixture of the buildings and detached homes in the neighborhood. Since Marble Hill is so small, there certainly aren’t large stretches of a single housing style.

Most dining options in Marble Hill are concentrated near Broadway and Marble Hill Avenue. It’s not a culinary destination, but its proximity to great neighborhoods to eat in Uptown Manhattan and the Bronx is unparalleled. But there are still local establishments residents flock to, like Taqueria Sinaloense, whose unassuming exterior is hardly an issue. Marea Fish Market is another local favorite.

Marble Hill feels cloistered, in a sense. There are no bustling subway stations or skyscrapers filled with commuters. People slow down and commit to building their lives at home. The streets are spacious and the views of the water are breathtaking. There’s a cluster of shops around Broadway, but recently commerce has spread east along the riverfront.

Late night options in Marble Hill are thin, but that doesn’t mean a delightful Friday night is out of the question. Try Inwood Bar and Grill in the neighboring section of Uptown Manhattan for the gastro-pub and beer garden energy you crave. Then, make your way to Marjorie Eliot's Parlor Jazz for amazing music and an iconic atmosphere. Take the 1 train back uptown when the night is done.

Keep things local by starting with a breakfast from The Family Coffee Shop. Take the walk to the Half-Moon Overlook to watch the city wake up next to the Hudson River. Take in the scenery of Victorian homes and art deco apartments along the way to River Plaza Shopping Center for some retail therapy. End your day with a takeout dinner from Arturo's Pizza & Pasta enjoyed overlooking the Bronx River.

Marble Hill is surprisingly easy to access from Manhattan and other parts of the Bronx. Additionally, the Metro North line has a stop dedicated to the neighborhood. Lots of housing options come equipped with parking, which makes transportation easier. Commuting from Marble Hill to Grand Central Station by train takes about 35 minutes on the Metro North Line, closer to an hour on the subway.
