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
