From 116th Street north, the eastern side of this tiny avenue is the heavily-fortified backside of Barnard. The western holds professors' apartments (including that of Dean Quigley) and the 47 Claremont dorm. After 120th Street, Riverside Church is on the west and Union Theological Seminary on the east. Beyond this, the street passes Sakura Park, International House, the Manhattan School of Music, and lots of little apartment buildings.

The intersection of 116th and Claremont has been formally declared the windiest in New York City.

Over a decade ago Claremont developed a notorious smell as Barnard students discarded their used sanitary items out of their windows.
