Diverse residential area with abundant nature
Washington Heights is a multicultural neighborhood with large, historical homes and sprawling parks. The residential area incorporates subsections like Little Dominican Republic, the Audubon Park Historic District and the Jumel Terrace Historic District, each with distinct historical and architectural charm. Well-maintained prewar co-ops are favored by first-time buyers seeking better value and tranquility than in other parts of the borough. “When you look up downtown, you see buildings. In Washington Heights, the highest elevation in Manhattan, you see sky and nature,” says Bruce Robertson, a long-time resident, community advocate, and broker with Compass specialized in the neighborhood.

Grand riverfront residences and renovated co-ops
Though rentals dominate Washington Heights, it has competitively priced homes too. 2000 square-foot units in landmarked Beaux-Arts buildings along Riverside Drive fetch $1.5 Million. Smaller one-bedroom units in income-restricted buildings go for between $290,000 and $575,000. Large townhomes sell for $1.2 Million to $2.4 Million. Though many residences have already been restored, there’s potential and price incentive for first-time buyers to take on fixer-uppers. “The neighborhood is ideal for young couples that might have met downtown but want to start families and empty nesters who want to move back into the city without having to deal with the hectic pace downtown,” Robertson says.

Hudson River overlooks and beloved theaters
Washington Heights is surrounded by green spaces. Leading up from Lower Manhattan, the Hudson River Greenway feeds into the hilly Fort Tryon Park and its widely popular The Met Cloisters art museum, a reconstructed Medieval Castle. To the East, Highbridge Park has great overlooks and playgrounds. The neighborhood anchors around United Palace, a highly ornate 1930s theater hosting community-polled movie night, free children’s programming, and the 2023 Tony Awards. The Armory serves as a track and field facility. Broadway is Washington Heights’s main commercial artery with several grocery stores like The Food Emporium.

Spanish Caribbean and other international dining
The northern portion of Washington Heights, known as the Little Dominican Republic, is jam-packed with popular eateries, including decades-old Malecon, serving staples like mofongo. Newer restaurants like Chelas specialize in Peruvian dishes. Döden is a Swedish take on pizza. With pub fare, Hilltop Park Alehouse is a long-established neighborhood favorite.
