74-78 Post Avenue is centrally located within a predominantly residential neighborhood in the Inwood section of Upper Manhattan. Multiple transit options are available within just a couple blocks, including the IRT Broadway - 7th Avenue Subway Line - with access to the 1, 2, and 3 trains at all times - and the Fordham Rd-Pelham Parkway Bx12 Select Bus Service. Both options just over a block away, at the corner of West 207th Street and 10th Avenue.

Broadway is accessible within a few blocks west and north, allowing this location access to all the conveniences, shopping, and restaurants peppered throughout the immediate area. Other major routes providing excellent accessibility to and from this location are Riverside Drive and the Henry Hudson Parkway to the west and Harlem River Drive and Major Deegan Expressway to the east.

Broadway and West 207th are the major retail corridors in the area, offering an incredible selection of retail, dining, and service options. West 207th becomes Fordham Road in the Bronx, which is also a popular destination for shopping, also allowing easy access to the spectacular neighborhoods found there. West 207th is just over one block away, as is bridge access to Fordham Road, and pedestrians can reach Broadway within minutes as well.

The surrounding blocks have many churches, organizations such as the Audubon Partnership and Inwood Community Services, medical practitioners, and area hot spots such as Cana y Café Bar and Grill, Maracas Steakhouse, and Café Kolmaro, just to name a few. Some of the countless franchises that are within a couple short blocks include Dunkin’ Donuts, The Children’s Place, CVS, Gamestop, and Foot Locker, as well as many grocery stores, wine and liquor stores, and boutiques. Parks surround the area, with Fort Tryon and Inwood Hill just a short distance away.

Nestled within greenery just over a couple blocks away is the historical Dyckman Farmhouse and Museum. This relic is located the corner of Broadway and West 204th Street and has occupied that site since 1784. The farmhouse tells the story of surviving the Revolutionary War in the formally rural Upper Manhattan, and has watched the city grow up around the property. Over the years it has been the site of various preservation efforts. The museum is open to the public, and holds regular open house events where visitors can enjoy the porch and gardens, and view local artists at work.
