Hudson River views in hilly uptown enclave
Hudson Heights is a quiet, hilly enclave in upper Manhattan with a small-town feel and views of the Hudson River. Part of Washington Heights, it attracts people looking for space and value, as well as access to Fort Tryon Park, offering 67 acres of greenspace. Sometimes referred to as “upstate Manhattan” by residents, Hudson Heights is a place they are proud to call home. “We love it,” says Louise Rogers, who has lived in the area since 1997 and is a co-founder of the Washington Heights Jazz Festival. “It’s a real neighborhood. On our way to the subway, we stop and talk to everyone.” However, it doesn’t have a robust nightlife scene and its hills—sometimes steep enough to require a staircase—could be a dealbreaker.

Prewar co-ops near Fort Tryon Park
The neighborhood is made up of mostly prewar and Art Deco co-ops, many with views of the Hudson River, says Dan Gotlieb, co-founder of Digs Realty Group, who has been selling homes in the area for 10 years. There’s also more value, compared to other areas in Manhattan. “You can get a two-bedroom co-op in Hudson Heights for about $750,000. You can't find that value anywhere south of there in Manhattan,” says Gotlieb. One-bedroom co-ops units sell for around $350,000 while a three-bedroom home could cost around $1 million. Hudson View Gardens on Pinecrest Avenue is one of the most striking co-op complexes in the neighborhood, given its Tudor-inspired architecture and surrounding gardens. Castle Village—a five-building co-op on Cabrini Avenue with river views—is another option. Condos are limited, but there is the six-story Cliffside Condo, which was built in 2002.

Manhattan’s biggest dog park and The Met Cloisters
Fort Tryon is “a hidden gem,” says Kross, who is a 10-year resident of the neighborhood. “The views are incredible.” The park was designed in the 1920s by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., the son of one of the designers of Central Park. Highlights include the 3-acre Heather Garden, which features flowering trees and shrubs; the city’s largest dog park, Sir William’s Dog Run; and The Met Cloisters, a museum specializing in European medieval art and architecture. The gothic building was completed in 1934 from parts of a number of European abbeys that were shipped to the U.S.
Hudson Heights’ Bennett Park, featuring a playground and courts, is the highest point of land in Manhattan at 265 feet above sea level. Hudson Heights residents also have quick access to the Greenway, a trail that runs the length of Manhattan along the Hudson River.
The Met Cloisters is the Only Museum in the United States that Primarily Features Medieval Art and Culture.
