WIKI:
"The neighborhood takes its name from Alexander Hamilton's 32-acre estate which was built here.  Nestled between St. Nicholas Park and the Hudson River this community of brownstones, landmark buildings, stunning architectural details, and rolling slopes offers a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan.  The Hamilton Heights Historic District is renowned."
