Hamilton Heights
This
is the area in upper Manhattan from West 135th Street to West 145th bordered
by Riverside Park to the west and Saint Nicholas Avenue to the east. Such
cultural hubs as Alexander Hamilton’s home, City College, Harlem
School of the Arts, Jackie Robinson’s Conservatory, and Riverbank
State Park enhance the neighborhood and are within a short walk of each
other. Express trains A and D will get you to mid-town in 15 minutes or
less.
Apartments are predominantly pre-war and spacious however there is a dramatic increase in new construction and developments in the area offering more housing to those who wish to live in and enjoy this part of the city. Examples of this new construction can be found on www.thelangston.com.
Prices for rental and sale properties are still reasonable here compared
to the rest of Manhattan. One-bedrooms for rent can be found for as low
as $800/mo. but most are in the $800 to $1400 range, and Two-bedrooms run
from $1200 to $2500, on the average, depending on street and condition.
A 1-bedroom apartment can be bought for as little as 55k and 3-bedroom
apartments for sale can be as high 2 million dollars.
