Property Description for 430 Convent Ave
> This Limestone is Located in Hamilton Heights Landmark Historic District.
The larger Hamilton Heights/Sugar Hill neighborhood is located on the former site of Alexander Hamilton's estate.
> The neighborhood, which extends from West 140th Street to West 155th Street, from Edgecombe Avenue to Amsterdam Avenue, remained undeveloped throughout most of the nineteenth century.
> It was not until the 1880s when the elevated train was constructed along Eighth Avenue that the neighborhood began to grow.
> Rowhouses and apartment buildings in the Queen Anne, Romanesque Revival and neo-Renaissance styles were built in the neighborhood from the 1880s through the 1920s.
>
Although the first residents of Hamilton Heights were primarily middle class whites, in the 1920s and 1930s, African Americans professionals began to move into the neighborhood and the area became commonly known as Sugar Hill.
> Famous residents of the neighborhood include Adam Clayton Powell and Duke Ellington and many other musicians, writers and civic leaders.
> Today Hamilton Heights/Sugar Hill is a neighborhood of paramount cultural as well as architectural and historical significance.

Hamilton Heights | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Primarily a residential neighborhood, Hamilton Heights has a mix of brownstones, walk-ups and older apartment buildings, together with more luxurious apartment and condo buildings situated along Riverside Drive. Known for being a working class neighborhood in the past, now there are many artists, teachers and actors making their homes in Hamilton Heights.
Hamilton Heights has a diverse population that prides itself on being a tight-knit community, one where neighbors know and respect one another, work together on issues that confront the community, support each other in difficult times, and spend time together socializing at block and seasonal parties.
Although there are many types of public transportation available, the area subway stops may require a bit of a walk, so you will need to plan for this time in your commute.
Hamilton Heights has a definite family-oriented vibe, and there are many playgrounds and activities for children. Additionally, you can find child daycare at reasonable prices. Riverbank State Park has many activities and recreational opportunities geared toward children.
Although there are plentiful places to shop for groceries, everything from the bigger national chains to the neighborhood bodegas and delis, they are starting to show the impact of gentrification in the higher prices they are charging, especially for organic products.
