Fort George

Home to the last colonial residence in Manhattan, Fort George is full of history and tradition. The Morris-Jumel Mansion was the headquarters of General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Fort George extends from West 155th Street to West 181st Street and is bordered by Fort Washington Park and the Hudson River to the West and the Harlem River to the East. Most apartments in the area are in prewar buildings and are very spacious. Only 15 minutes by subway to Midtown Manhattan, this location is appealing for people who want to live in Manhattan but not in the bustling business districts. Most residents here are artists, writers and middle class workers who are very family and community orientated. Fort George is an exciting community, with many different ethnicities and cultures, and an increasingly popular residential neighborhood.
