Positioned overlooking upper Harlem, the Washington Heights/Sugar Hill plateau has a rich history dating back to the 18th and 19th-century country estates it was built around. This area was home to iconic figures such as Alexander Hamilton, a forefather of the U.S., socialite Madame Eliza Jumel, second wife of past vice-president Aaron Burr, and the renowned American ornithologist and naturalist, John James Audubon.

Nowadays, landscapes imbued with remnants of the past such as rolling hills, leafy parks, and scenic water views are intertwined with historic apartment buildings and cultural centres. Washington Heights is currently characterized by a blossoming American-Dominican culture and lively local atmosphere.
