 Access to public transportation is easy when there is a subway stop just a short walk away at Broadway and 145th Street. This station is served by the 1 train at all times. Bus service is also quickly accessed with stops along Broadway and Riverside Drive. The network of roadways within the immediate area is well-connected and provides convenient access to major routes, including the Major Deegan Expressway, Henry Hudson Parkway, Harlem River Drive, and the Triborough Bridge.

This block is considered a “Walker’s Paradise” on walkscore.com, with its close proximity to transportation and a variety of dining and retail options, as well as access to outstanding park recreation facilities. The tidy tree-lined and landscaped street with ornate turn-of-the-century mid-rise buildings and quaint row-style housing contributes to the charm of the area.

Just a short walk west brings you to the 28-acre Riverbank State Park, one of the most widely visited state parks in New York State. With its incredible views of the Hudson River, Palisade Mountains, and the George Washington Bridge, the park offers five major buildings that respectively house an Olympic-size pool, a 2,500-seat athletic complex, skating rink, 800-seat theater, and restaurant. The park also offers outdoor swimming and wading pools, four tennis courts, picnic areas, a 400-seat amphitheater, a running track, various athletic courts and fields, and docking facilities. All this is easily accessible from 618 West 142nd Street’s front door!

The building would make an excellent residence for a student or staff member of The City College of New York, whose campus and its many landmark buildings lie about a half-mile southeast on Convent Avenue. The college, founded in 1847 and comprised of well-renowned, neo-gothic buildings, has a 35-acre campus and an enrollment of over 10,000 students. Dedicated not only to providing excellence in education through its 73 undergraduate and 47 masters programs, the college maintains a highly resourceful Career Center that regularly holds job fairs, career counseling, and other services to ensure the success of the CCNY student body and their surrounding community.
