The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1020570046. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.

### Hamilton Heights

Hamilton Heights is a historic hilltop neighborhood in West Harlem, stretching from 135th to 155th Streets. Named after Alexander Hamilton, whose home "The Grange" still stands here, it is loved for its academic vibe and stunning river views. For buyers seeking Hamilton Heights Manhattan real estate, the area offers architectural grandeur at a value. Living in Hamilton Heights, Manhattan is scenic and hilly. The neighborhood is anchored by City College of New York (CCNY), giving it a collegiate atmosphere. As a charming Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it features winding streets, gothic architecture, and a quiet, leafy ambiance that feels removed from the chaos of downtown. The market for homes for sale in Hamilton Heights is defined by its historic districts. The area is famous for its "Sugar Hill" limestone townhouses and spacious pre-war co-ops. These homes often feature original details like wainscoting and fireplaces that would cost millions more further south. It attracts varied residents, from professors and artists to young families priced out of the Upper West Side. The value proposition is strong: diverse housing stock, park access, and express subway service make it a "smart money" location. The lifestyle in Hamilton Heights is relaxed and intellectual. The presence of CCNY brings students and faculty to the local coffee shops and bars along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. The dining scene has matured, offering trendy gastropubs alongside classic soul food. Community is strong here. The "Sugar Hill" legacy of the Harlem Renaissance is proudly celebrated. It is diverse and welcoming, with a mix of multi-generational families and newcomers blending in the beautiful local parks. Hamilton Heights offers excellent express transit. The A and D trains at 145th Street can whisk you to Columbus Circle in under 15 minutes. The 1 train serves the local stops along Broadway. The geography is hilly, which can be a workout, but the elevation provides cool breezes and views. Biking along the Hudson River Greenway is a popular commute option for active residents. Riverbank State Park is a standout amenity—a 28-acre rooftop park built over a water treatment facility, offering an Olympic-sized pool, ice skating, and athletic fields. St. Nicholas Park also offers steep, dramatic green space with views of the gothic CCNY campus. Amenities are solid, with grocery stores and services clustered on Broadway. The cultural amenity of The Grange helps anchor the neighborhood's history. Hamilton Heights is best for those who love pre-war architecture, academics, and river views. It is perfect for Upper West Side lovers who want more space for their money.
