Like it was said on the video. Washington Heights is a place where Dominicans and other Hispanics can feel at home. When walking through the streets at night it’s not dangerous because everyone is still outside either enjoying a game of cards or Dominos, or just meeting up with people and walk around.

Many immigrants go to live in Washington Heights not only because of the culture that is settled there, but also because of the low rent. Artists, students, and families from diverse backgrounds live here. Many of the buildings were built in the once prevalent Art Deco style, thereby creating a certain stylistic uniformity, which harmonizes the area. Washington Heights has many beautiful houses and co-ops on quiet tree-lined blocks with lovely architecture.
