Property Description for 655 Riverside Drive, 5-A
This huge two bedroom apartment has views of the park, river, and the George Washington Bridge and is located across the street from Riverbank park. Sorry no pets! Enter the beautiful lobby to find both marbled walls and mosaic floor tiles that are set against a wrought iron staircase from yester year, it's absolutely beautiful! Four flights up awaits gorgeous inlaid hardwood floors, soaring 11 feet ceilings, and lots of large windows that bring in natural light in every room. While not renovated, the kitchen is large enough to have a table for for quick dining and the living area can accommodate a sofa and a dining set for formal gathering. Both bedrooms can house a king size bed along with other furniture. Built during the prewar era the walls are flanked in crown molding and are decorated with picture frame molding reminiscent of a Parisian flat, it's truly a designer's dream! Some of the best cheap ethnic eats are abound but so are favorite restaurants like Oso the Mexican restaurant owned by famed Pat Sajack's son, Harlem Public, and the always popular Fumo that's also located on the upper west side. The 1,A,B,C,D trains are convienent to the building as well as grocery stores and other interesting finds.

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.
