NYC's 'Most In Demand' Street Is In Washington Heights: NY Post
The 20 townhouses on Sylvan Terrace near West 161st Street are the hardest homes to land in the city, according to the NY Post.

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — A street in Washington Heights is getting some major attention after the New York Post named it the "most in-demand" and "hardest to land" set of homes in the city.
The Upper Manhattan street is Sylvan Terrace, home to a restored row of 20 three-story townhouses tucked away from Washington Height's surrounding grid.
The secretive street is located between 160th and 161st Streets and sits almost directly next to the Morris-Jumel Mansion — the oldest house in Manhattan.

The picturesque Washington Heights lane currently has three homes for sale, according to the NY Post. It is a rare opportunity to buy a property on the street as only four townhouses have sold on Sylvan Terrace since 2018, according to sales records.
"I'm from Germany, and for me Manhattan was ... skyscrapers, big apartment buildings, that sort of stuff," Alexander Scheirle, a homeowner on Sylvan Terrace, told the NY Post. "You would never expect a street that looks like something from the Netherlands from 1880.”
