Affordable, no-frills co-op located in a quiet pocket of Inwood
Secluded from the rest of Inwood by Isham Park, the unofficially named Park Terrace area sits near the island's northernmost tip. This hilltop pocket is surrounded by verdant green space on three sides and so is much quieter than other sections. Residents of the mostly postwar co-ops that line the serenely sloped and tree-lined streets here, including those that live in 70 Park Terrace East, benefit from well-maintained sports fields, hidden nature preserves, and some of the lowest home prices in the borough, all while having easy access to reliable public transportation. The solid-construction brick low-rise — erected in 1956 — climbs six stories and features 75 generously proportioned residences: some with sweeping eastern exposure views of the Harlem River and Bronx beyond. Light wells that break up the building’s mass ensure that an ample amount of natural light flows through all units.
“It’s a no-frills building with just a small garden outback, a ground-level laundry room, storage, a small garage and an attentive live-in super,” says Scott Kriger, an agent with Brown Harris Stevens. “The main draw here is the location and value. We’re seeing that people are moving further north as prices continue to rise throughout most other parts of Manhattan. This area still has all the essential services and attractions they’re looking for. The 70 Park Ter. E. co-op is particularly well-kept.”
Sizable studio to two-bedroom homes with solid bones
While 485-square-foot studios have most recently sold for $250,000 on average — nearly half the cost of a comparable unit in Kips Bay, almost 200 blocks south — one-bedrooms fetch $400,000. Two bedrooms with double exposures and 1,000 square feet of space sell for around $600,000. Most of the residences retain original hardwood parquet floors that can easily be refinished. There also tends to be ample closet space. Like any older building, the state of renovation varies greatly from unit to unit with slight variations in price reflecting how recently and to what extent renovations were carried out by previous residents. Sold by Kriger for $650,000 in fall 2024, unit 6L features a refreshed windowed and eat-in kitchen with brand new Jennair and Bosch appliances as well as Shaker-style cabinets. Sold for $520,000 in summer 2024, unit 2D is a slightly smaller two-bedroom decked out in the latest home-tech systems and light solutions. Units that sell for less but require a bit of tender-loving care provide intrepid homeowners with the opportunity to make their own mark.
With a ramp out front, double entrance doors and well-maintained elevators, this building is ADA-accessible. According to Kriger, the garage has limited space and there’s a long waiting list to get a monthly rental. That said, street parking is slightly easier to come by in this pocket of Inwood. There’s an onramp to the Henry Hudson Parkway at the end of Riverside Drive. The co-op is near the 207th Street Train Yard which can sometimes account for some noise pollution.
Three sprawling parks and Inwood’s thriving Spanish Caribbean food scene
The site of a historic American Revolutionary War battle, close by Isham Park is a sloped 20-acre green space with a dense wood cover and dog-friendly walking paths. It leads into the much larger Inwood Hill Park, with playgrounds, multiple overlooks and the Inwood Hill Natural Center. Farther south, Fort Tyron Park is home to The Met museum’s medieval monastery The Cloisters annex and numerous picnic lawns. The top of the Hudson River Greenway, which lines the entirety of Manhattan’s western edge with cycling and jogging paths, can be accessed from Dyckman Street. Closer to the building, the state-of-the-art Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium is abutted by the Robert Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium and Milstein Family Tennis Center; a sports complex run by Columbia University. New York-Presbyterian Allen Hospital is also nearby. Accessed from a set of public staircases around the corner, the 215 Street subway station on Broadway is served by the local 1 line, which traverses all of Manhattan’s West Side. The express A train terminates at the Inwood-207 Street station a bit further down Broadway.
This main commercial artery is lined with several big-box essential service businesses and a plethora of restaurants reflective of the area’s predominately Spanish Caribbean population. These include the legendary La Case del Mofongo & Piano Bar, Cachapas y Mas and Brown Sugar Bar & Restaurant. Leading into Inwood Hill Park, Inwood Farm is a reimagined American diner mostly frequented by locals. There’s a Food Universe Marketplace grocery store right below the co-op along Broadway.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
