Overview
Welcome to 753 Saint Nicholas Avenue, #5B — a thoughtfully laid-out 1-bed, 1-bath with private outdoor space condo in the heart of Hamilton Heights at The Nicholas.
As you enter (only two units per floor), you’ll immediately appreciate how the space flows and of course the LARGE entrance closet. There’s a sense of calm and intentional design right from the foyer through to the living area. The open-concept living and dining space invites flexible living: position your sofa where you like it, carve out a work-from-home nook, or create a dining setup that works for everyday and entertaining alike. You don’t feel boxed in here — the layout feels generous without wasted corners.
To your right, the EXPANSIVE kitchen with the 5 burner stove top is the perfect entertainers kitchen as it’s open and functional! There’s enough cabinetry and counter space where you can organize your things just the way you want them. If you don’t find there to be enough, no worries, in this kitchen you have a GIANT PANTRY with enough room to organize everything needed from your mixer to your Le Creuset set and more!!
As you continue toward the back of the home, you’ll see the bedroom comfortably a desk as well, and boasts a large closet that keeps clutter away. The circulation here feels natural, and there’s enough separation between living and sleeping areas for privacy and ease of use.
One of this unit’s standout touches is the private outdoor space off the living area — perfect for coffee in the morning or winding down in the evening with a glass of wine. While you won’t be flooded with giant AC bills in the summer from the light, you absolutely have enough light and room for potted plants to thrive, and a small bistro set. It’s rare to find that kind of extension to your living area in a boutique Manhattan condo.
You’ll notice western exposures here, so afternoons and early evenings are especially pleasant and warm without being overwhelming. The open plan, paired with well-sized windows, gives the space a grounded, comfortable feel.
There’s also an in-unit washer/dryer, multiple closets for storage, and practical modern conveniences that make everyday life simpler — little things that quickly become big comforts.
Hamilton Heights as you know is filled with restaurants, gyms, convenience stores, Jackie Robinson Park, St. Nicholas Park, Edgecombe Park, and, this unit is merely a block from the 145th st A, B, C, D trains. Yes, that means only TWO stops on the express to get to 59th Columbus Circle!

Hamilton Heights
Overview of 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.
Real Estate & Housing Market
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.
Lifestyle & Community
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.
Transportation & Accessibility
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.
Parks, Schools & Amenities
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.
Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
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.
