The neighborhood of Marble Hill is a tiny sliver of Manhattan, separated from the rest of the island when the Harlem River Ship Canal was dug in 1895. It became physically attached to the Bronx in 1913, when the Spuyten Duyvil Creek to its north was filled in.

Very conveniently located for trains (Metro-North and No. 1 subway), buses, schools, Marble Hill Playground, plus nearby shopping on Broadway and 225th Street.
