Washington Heights encompasses upper Manhattan from 155th Street to the Inwood border of Dyckman St. and from the Hudson River to the Harlem River. Within this area, Hudson Heights is a smaller neighborhood community. Made up mostly of pre-war buildings in the Tudor, Art Deco, and Neo-Classical styles, Washington Heights has attracted many buyers who want more space, value, and quiet for their money, not to mention magnificent river views. This beautiful and lush area is filled with hills and cliffs and is rich in history and culture. Tree-lined streets and parks abound including the famous Fort Tryon Park, a 67 acre park containing playgrounds, dog runs, walking/jogging paths and the Heather Garden. It also houses the northern branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art known as the Cloisters Museum, which has nearly 5000 medieval works in a reconstructed medieval monastery. Local city-wide events include the Little Red Lighthouse Festival, the Medieval Festival, the Scandinavian Orchestra's outdoor summer concerts, to name a few.
Washington Heights has a vibrant and bustling commercial district, plenty of restaurants, upscale shops and other businesses and yet it still maintains its small-town feel with annual local events planned by the community and supported by local businesses. The New Balance Track and Field Center in the Ft. Washington Armory at 168th Street has an Olympic-grade track and is always humming with activity. Washington Heights is also home to the Yeshiva University and the New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell, all making it a diverse and thriving place to live. Washington Heights is connected to New Jersey by the George Washington Bridge over which is located the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal hub at 179th Street. The neighborhood is served by the A express, C and 1 trains. From quiet tree-lined streets to bustling Broadway, the locals feel it is still the best kept secret in Manhattan and the neighborhood to watch.
