Named for George Washington (who led troops into battle here against the British in 1776), Washington Heights is typical of NYC’s rich history and constantly evolving cityscape.  In decades past, immigrants from the Dominican Republic transformed Washington Heights into a boisterous but family-focused community with a distinctive Latin vibe. Now, new groups are making the neighborhood their own, injecting some downtown “cool” into the uptown mix.  People come here because it’s one of the last affordable neighborhoods in Manhattan and they fall in love with the tranquility of the parks alongside the vibrant nightlife.

Washington Heights spans from 155th Street up to Inwood, with The New York-Presbyterian Hospital in the south of the community.  Hudson Heights runs from 173rd St. in the south to the Cloisters in the north, with the Hudson River on the west and Broadway to the east.

 

Washington Heights Offers Easy Access to Transportation and Quality Schools

The neighborhood is served by the A train and #1 train with stops throughout the neighborhood. Midtown is 25 minutes away. The M98 express bus stops on Fort Washington on weekdays (destination Lexington Ave. in the East 60s).  There are also multiple bus routes traveling north-south and east-west.

Parents rave about how PS 187 School (close to 187th St.) is so great - combining kindergarten through 8th grade under one roof. Many families want to live in its district, right here in Hudson heights.

Local Flare in Hudson Heights

A lot of boutiques have opened up recently, so the neighborhood is good for shopping. You also have the Broadway discount stores with their crazy mix of stuff, so window-shopping is never boring!  Tenants announced for the up-coming G.W. Bridge Bus Station renovation include Marshalls, Gap, Fine Fare Supermarket, Blink Fitness and a Buffalo Wings Grill.

Fort Tryon Park is the place to go to escape and relax. It’s the highest point in Manhattan and the air is clean with great breezes coming off the Hudson River. There are fabulous views of the New Jersey Palisades Park and the George Washington Bridge.  The Cloisters museum (part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art) in the park has long been the area’s most widely known tourist attraction; the Heather Garden nearby is a popular place for plant-lovers.  A few streets away, Bennett Park (183 St.) marks the foundations of George Washington’s camp, set up here during the Revolutionary War. Now it’s a playground with colorful swings, a soccer field and great places to picnic.
