Hamilton Heights
Uptown West, from West 125th Street to West 155th Street, from Riverside Drive to St. Nicholas and Edgecombe Avenues.
Hamilton Heights in Upper Manhattan was the home of Alexander Hamilton from 1802 - 1804. Hamilton was the first U. S. Secretary of the Treasury, a Founding Father, and political philosopher. He co-authored the federalist papers and was indespensable in the effort to get the constitution adopted.
Today Hamilton Heights is mostly a housing fusion of palatial 19th century brownstones, spacious pre-wars and tenement walk-ups.
The Harlem sub-neighborhood of Hamilton Heights boasts some of the city’s most-desired townhouses, and is best known for "Sugar Hill" and “Strivers’ Row.” The Harlem sub-neighborhood of Hamilton Heights has some of the most-desired townhouses in New York City.
Sugar Hill - Sweet and Expensive, During the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920's The Hill attracted those with talent, money, education, and social prominence. Sugar Hill was celebrated for its exclusivity and status.
Parts of Strivers’ Row were designed by the noted architecture firm of McKim, Mead and White. "Strivers Row" named by Harlemites for it's ambitious residents.

A diversified mix of Buyers are coming to Hamilton Heights for the neighborhood’s history, the houses, brownstones, coops and condos that cost much less than they would a mile to the south.
