History

Manor Heights was a rural area just outside New York City, and was known as “the suburbs”. During World War II, it became an industrial site with various manufacturing companies looking for space near New York Harbor.

The neighborhood was largely depopulated by the 1960s as factories began to close. In the 1980s and 1990s, Manhattan architects began to move into Manor Heights, which reduced crime and led to the stabilization of the neighborhood.

Today, the neighborhood is increasingly populated by professionals and young families. The layout of Manor Heights consists of many one-family homes and low-rise apartment buildings.
