Inwood Property Search

Inwood is Manhattan's northernmost neighborhood, known for Inwood Hill Park (home to the last natural forest in Manhattan), the Cloisters, and a strong Dominican-American community. The neighborhood offers some of Manhattan's most affordable housing with a mix of prewar apartment buildings and natural spaces.

Prewar walk-up and elevator apartment buildings, scattered two-family homes, and some newer developments. The housing stock is predominantly rent-stabilized. Garden-style apartment complexes are common in the northern sections.

Most buildings were constructed in the 1920s-1940s as part of the neighborhood's residential development. Some postwar buildings from the 1950s-1960s. Limited new construction until the controversial 2018 rezoning.

HPD housing code violations (heat, hot water, lead paint, pests), facade maintenance, fire escape repairs, boiler violations, and construction violations from renovations. Older building stock generates consistent maintenance-related violations.

Among Manhattan's lowest assessed values. Most properties are in Tax Class 2 with rent-stabilized tenants. The 2018 Inwood rezoning is expected to gradually increase property values and assessments in affected areas.

The 2018 Inwood rezoning created a Special Inwood District with higher density along the commercial corridors (particularly along 207th Street and Tenth Avenue/Broadway) while maintaining contextual zoning on residential side streets. Includes mandatory inclusionary housing.

The Inwood rezoning (2018) is the most significant change, enabling new mixed-use development along commercial corridors. Several new residential and mixed-use projects are in various stages of planning and construction.
