Square footage is recorded for only 10 of these 25 sales (40%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest.
This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Washington Heights instead.

Washington Heights
Overview of Washington Heights
Washington Heights is a vibrant, hilly neighborhood at the top of Manhattan island. Known for its strong Dominican heritage, pre-war architecture, and stunning river views, it is a neighborhood of energy and community. For buyers seeking Washington Heights Manhattan real estate, it offers some of the most spacious and affordable apartments in the borough. Living in Washington Heights feels distinct. The geography is dramatic, with high ridges and step streets. As a culturally rich Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it is famous for its music, food, and the sprawling Fort Tryon Park.Real Estate & Housing Market
The market for homes for sale in Washington Heights is a haven for value. You can find massive Art Deco co-ops with Hudson River views for a fraction of the price of the Upper West Side. It has become increasingly popular with artists, young families, and professionals who are priced out of downtown but unwilling to leave Manhattan. The "Hudson Heights" enclave within the neighborhood is particularly sought after for its quiet, village-like feel.Lifestyle & Community
The lifestyle in Washington Heights is loud and joyous. The streets are filled with music and conversation. Broadway is a bustling commercial spine. Community ties are deep. It is a neighborhood where people sit on stoops and know their local shopkeepers. The Cloisters museum adds a touch of medieval tranquility to the northern tip.Transportation & Accessibility
Washington Heights is served by the A, C, and 1 trains. The A train express is legendary—it can get you from 168th Street to 59th Street in about 20 minutes. It is further north, but the trade-off is often more space and better views. Access to the George Washington Bridge makes leaving the city for Jersey or upstate very easy.Parks, Schools & Amenities
Fort Tryon Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the city, featuring the Heather Garden and sweeping views of the Palisades. Highbridge Park offers trails and the city's oldest standing bridge. Amenities are local and affordable. While it lacks some big-box retail, it makes up for it with incredible independent grocers and restaurants.Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
Washington Heights is best for buyers seeking value, space, and community. It is ideal for those who love parks and don't mind a slightly longer commute for a much bigger apartment.
