Hamilton Heights
The house where Alexander Hamilton spent the last years of his life in Hamilton Heights
If you want to be a real New Yorker about it, Hamilton Heights is bounded by 135th Street to the south, Riverside Drive to the west, 155th Street to the north, and Edgecombe Avenue to the east. Manhattanville is to the south and Washington Heights lies due north. It also contains the sub-neighborhood of Sugar Hill. Just don’t tell Sugar Hill folks that they’re “sub” anything!
Our community derives its name from Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, who lived the last years of his life here on what was then mostly farm land. You can visit his home at the Hamilton Grange National Memorial.

This is home to City College of New York, countless blocks of historic brownstones and a growing restaurant scene.
Some of the city’s largest and best recreational parks are nearby, including the Riverbank State Park which runs along the Hudson River. Riverbank Park offers dozens of playing fields, a track, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, ice skating in the winter, tennis and more.
The Audubon Mural Project even paints the neighborhood with images of the birds depicted by John James Audubon in his early 19th century folio The Birds of America

Regarding Transportation:
Apartment seekers are often surprised by “how accessible it is, just two stops from Columbus Circle on the express train,” she continued. The area is “very residential, and the majority of properties are low-rise apartment buildings and beautiful townhomes. It feels like old New York.” (read more)
And about the Arts:
The arts are important here. Two major dance companies are based in the neighborhood, in the same building, at 466 West 152nd Street. The space is owned by Dance Theater of Harlem, which is about to open a small storefront studio about a block away. It will probably open in February, said Anna Glass, the company’s executive director, and will provide fitness classes like Pilates and yoga. “It is our opportunity to contribute to the community that has given to us over the years,” she said.
