Inwood is a largely residential neighborhood, consisting mostly of apartment houses and parkland. It also houses a subway yard and Columbia University's football stadium.
Inwood was majority Irish for most of the Twentieth Century, but today the neighborhood is mostly Dominican.
Inwood Hill Park, on the Hudson River, is a largely wooded city park that contains caves that were used by the Lenape before Europeans arrived, and the last salt marsh in Manhattan. Birdwatchers come to the park to see waterbirds, raptors, and a wide variety of migratory birds.
