Today in Morningside most homes have been renovated from top to bottom but retain the original architectural features. A drive down any street looks like an English village with the park not very far away. The lawns are landscaped, the trees are old and stately, the sidewalks in use by kids on bikes and mothers with strollers. Shops and boutiques are close by and the neighborhood association has its own quarterly newsletter. Currently, home prices range from about $300,000 to $1,500,000 and generally sell rapidly. The sense of belonging to a place, a neighborhood, attracts those relocating from other cities as well as those who have tried the suburbs and want that "neighborhood" feel.
