With its highly pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and close proximity to transportation, dining options, and neighborhood conveniences, this address earns a “Walker’s Paradise” status on walkscore.com. In just few blocks’ distance, area residents can access a post office, banks, retail shopping, parks, doctors’ offices, beauty salons, a daycare, churches, grocery stores, delis, schools, bars, and restaurants. Steps away is the Inwood branch of the New York Public Library, neighboring several small eateries and a discount store.
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 neighborhoods found there.
Nestled within greenery just over a block 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.
Fort Tryon Park is just a short walk away as well, containing one of the highest points in Manhattan as well as the magnificent and very popular Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and official New York City landmark that houses art and relics from medieval times. The building was reconstructed in the 1930’s from materials salvaged from several European abbeys and is truly a work of art in and of itself. The park also offers great vistas because of its elevation, as well as playgrounds, gardens, and historical landmarks. The New Leaf Restaurant and Bar provides an unforgettable dining experience within the park, and has been voted “Upper Manhattan’s Most Romantic Restaurant.”
