Manhattan (New York County)
Washington Hts.
About Washington Hts.

Some call it "upstate Manhattan," and there's certainly a laid-back vibe in this northern Manhattan neighborhood. Once crime-ridden, the area has seen an influx of new artsy and professional residents -- and, as a result, Washington Heights has seen staggering price increases in recent years.

Nonetheless, WaHi offers large apartments that are greatly discounted from similarly sized homes south of 96th Street. The nabe offers numerous prewar, Art-Deco co-ops, particularly along the Hudson River. Among the most notable buildings is the Grinnell, widely known as the "uptown Dakota," at 155th Street and Riverside Drive.
