Welcome

​The West 102nd & 103rd Streets Block Association is a group of volunteers who work to make our blocks a vibrant, safe, and beautiful community.

We provide an active community full of events including our Halloween parade, Solstice caroling and annual Block Party.
The West 102nd & 103rd Streets Block Association welcomes new members who live in our district on the Upper West Side of Manhattan (New York City). That area includes W. 102nd and W. 103rd Streets from Broadway to Riverside Drive and West End Avenue between W. 102nd and W. 103rd Streets.
