LOCATIONThe Upper West Side is located north of Columbus Circle (59/60th street), west of Central Park and east of The Hudson river. The northern border is tough to define - for simplicity, one can assume it's 110th street. This definition implies that what lies north of the Upper West Side (i.e. Morningside Heights and the campus of Columbia University) is a separate neighborhood.

Some parts of the neighborhood are extremely wealthy, most of it is upper-middle class, but there are a few blocks in the northern section of the UWS that are visibly poor. The Upper West Side counts many celebrities (e.g. Conan O'Brien, Madonna and since recently, Moby) as residents. SAFETYThe Upper West Side is relatively safe. The less safe parts are, unsuprisingly, those around public housing projects in the northern part. Several blocks around Amsterdam Avenue between 100th and 110th streets can feel a bit sketchy. That's not to say that nothing bad ever happens in the rich areas. Mob boss Frank Costello was shot at in the lobby of the Majestic Apartments in 1957 and John Lennon was killed across the street, in front of the Dakota building where he lived, in 1980.
