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.

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.
