I refuse to get over the fact that you could be lucky enough to live at this intersection in Manhattan in a beautiful, historic neighborhood that looks like the set of the Great Gatsby.

@SuzanEraslan inwood is wild, it's not even that expensive there (or at least wasn't a few years ago)
The price you pay is being in the middle of nowhere tho, you're literally as far away from the rest of NYC as you can be and still technically be in Manhattan
@melissasage The secret is out-- it's definitely more expensive than it was when I lived there several years ago (of course, depending on *where* in Inwood you live). It's not that far from Midtown, though, but if you have most of your friends in Brooklyn (which, who doesn't these days, ugh), it's waaaay too far.
@SuzanEraslan i lived there for a bit when i was going to Fordham- which is one of the few places it's actually convenient to!
And i had a lot of friends in Harlem so it worked out :p but summer trips to Reis Beach involved going along the *entire* A train, so..
@SuzanEraslan lmao! 207 isn't even that far from dyckman, tbh. i've done the whole A train and it is... well, tedious bc it's like three hours from terminus to terminus
@melissasage True story, the summer I lived there, my roommate and I took the train from Dykman to Far Rockaway, and the whole way there I kept saying that on the way back I was going to take the train one stop further so I could ride the whole A train. Then after hours in the sun and several beers, I forgot and got off at Dykman and remembered the second the doors closed behind me.
