I have a 3 bedroom apartment a few blocks north of Columbia. My daughter was a Columbia graduate and lived here since 2007. She has now moved in with her boyfriend, ok now husband...oh boy!! We always rented out the other 2 rooms to students or people who work in Manhattan. Your child can live in one room and the others rented to cover costs. The apartment is perfect for Columbia students, Manhattan School of Music, Barnard or anyone who needs to be in this area. Located a few blocks from Columbia in a great area, 1 block from Riverside park, close to supermarkets and 1/2 block from 1 train. My daughter always felt very safe there. The block is in the Columbia patrol zone. Please email to make an appointment to see it. Smart investment decision. Email for price and details.
