Evolving neighborhood with rich history and good value
Once the country estate of founding father Alexander Hamilton, Hamilton Heights is a residential neighborhood deeply rooted in greater Harlem but with an Upper West Side atmosphere. Situated between West 135th Street and West 155th Street along Upper Manhattan’s hilly western edge, the area benefits from sweeping views of the Hudson River and a growing number of eclectic restaurants. The neighborhood has become popular among young families and creative professionals looking for more space and value without having to leave the borough.
Hamilton Grange National Memorial is the historic home of founding father Alexander Hamilton.
Main thoroughfare Broadway has an endless offering of eateries and bars. Cozy pub Harlem Public, comfort food staple The Handpulled Noodle and ice cream go-to Sugar Hill Creamery are popular among students attending nearby Columbia University and The City College of New York. “There are more grown-up options too,” says lifelong Hamilton Heights resident Dale Dobson. “Recently opened restaurant ROKC has truly authentic Japanese food. Also new, Chez Messy is great for tapas. My regular spot is Italian mainstay Bono Trattoria.” New locales are constantly popping up. Though just under a decade old, 1970s-style The Honey Well bar seems to have been around forever. Grocery stores Food Universe Marketplace and Key Food stock all the essentials.
At Harlem Public in Hamilton Heights you can sample a wide variety of craft beers.
Chez Messy is great for light snacks and has a lively bar.

Old-school luxury and Hudson River views for less
Like much of Riverside Drive—a leafy boulevard stretching from the Upper West Side to Washington Heights–Hamilton Heights features upscale prewar condominiums and co-ops with ornate architectural details. On this “Gold Coast” stretch, buyers can choose from individually named Beaux Arts and Art Nouveau-inspired buildings. While two bedrooms cost $700,000, classic sixes and sevens are priced from $1.9 Million to $3.5 Million. It’s good value compared to similar river-facing properties on the Upper West Side that start at $6 Million. Art Deco-style walk-up buildings dominate the rest of the neighborhood, with co-op and condo units sold for $275,000 to $875,000, depending on income restriction policies, size and proximity to the Hudson River. Neo-Federalist brick townhomes, especially those on or around secluded street Hamilton Terrace, fetch between $2 Million and $3.5 Million.
The City College of New York adds to Hamilton Heights's architectural diversity.

Direct access to the Hudson River Greenway
The Denny Farrell pedestrian bridge overpasses the Henry Hudson Parkway to connect West 151st Street with the Hudson River Greenway, a bike and walking path spanning the entire length of Manhattan. “There’s a touch of uninterrupted nature over here,” says Dobson. Further south in the neighborhood, Riverbank State Park has a riverfront pool, up-to-date playground, Carousel and ample sports facilities.
Riverbank State Park has an ample selection of outdoor amenities in Hamilton Heights.
