WaHI stands for "Washington Heights and Inwood," two neighborhoods of northern Manhattan in New York City. The term was coined by Eduardo Gómez, founder of the WaHI Online community web site, in 2002. The term is commonly used and understood within WaHI Online, but has not caught on widely elsewhere (as opposed to, for example, the realtor-coined Hudson Heights, which is widely cited). This may be due to the fact that while Washington Heights and Inwood share the distinction of being the northernmost communities of Manhattan (with attendantly lower housing costs), they are very distinct neightborhoods demographically and geographically, and are represented by different district councils seats (district 10 for Washington Heights, 7 for Inwood).
