This divinely situated building overlooking the Hudson River is beautifully landscaped and attended by a full-time doorman. Amenities include indoor parking for only $200 per month, a gym ($50/year), free bike storage, 24/7 laundry room, storage cages, a resident Super plus 3 porters, an events/party room and more. The building allows W/D in the units and one dog per shareholder apartment (with certain breed restrictions). Moments away from the #1 train plus easy access to the Henry Hudson, the GWB and all major Metropolitan roadways. This vibrant neighborhood offers wonderful local eateries, markets, coffee houses and after work hangs including Boxers and Hilltop Park Alehouse. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy direct and easy access to the Hudson River Green-way, a beautiful dedicated bike-way along the river plus Fort Washington Park just at the bottom of the hill which has been recently refurbished with volleyball courts, soccer fields, modern playgrounds, handball, tennis and more.

Washington Heights | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Washington Heights, a hilly neighborhood on Manhattan’s northern tip known for its affordable apartments, preserved pre-war buildings, and Dominican food. Some would argue that it's a hidden gem and one of Manhattan's last neighborhoods that has retained its culture. The large swath of land is bordered by Inwood to the north along Dyckman Street, by Harlem to the South along 155th Street, by the Harlem River to the east, and the Hudson River to the West. It is the highest natural point on the Island of Manhattan.
Despite its high residential density, Washington Heights and Inwood have not seen modern housing construction in more than a decade other than relatively small housing units. Midtown Manhattan, Battery Park, TriBeCa, Chelsea, and Hell’s Kitchen, on the other hand, have seen an increase in building. Most of the high rise construction belongs to hospitals such as New York Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center, and educational institutions like Yeshiva University and Boricua College.
Washington Heights has access to amazing green spaces like The Cloisters, Fort Washington Park, Highbridge Park and Fort Tryon Park. There is no shortage of historical landmarks either. Remember General George Washington set up his camp in Washington Heights during the Revolutionary War. He used the elevated neighborhood to his tactical advantage to spot the Redcoats. As history would have it, his plan didn’t work out so well and the British occupied New York for seven years.
