DHCR-listed buildings with tracked listings
4 indexable building pages have a listing address matched to the DHCR building registry. A building match does not confirm the status of any apartment in it.
Based on Leaseswap listings tracked during the last 6 months. Feature shares count explicit affirmative reports over all tracked listings; a missing detail is unknown, not a negative. Apartment size is based on listings that report square footage. Updated October 1, 2026.
Inwood’s housing pattern includes early twentieth-century apartment buildings, public housing developments, and newer projects planned through city land-use actions. NYC Small Business Services’ neighborhood profile describes prewar apartment buildings along commercial corridors and identifies Dyckman Houses as a major residential development. City planning and housing materials separately document the Inwood rezoning, the Inwood Library site, and the 9th Avenue waterfront plan. Proposed or selected projects should not be mistaken for completed homes currently available.
For an apartment search, compare the exact building and street. A home in a prewar apartment property may differ in layout and services from a unit in a newer or newly constructed building. Ask for a floor plan and verify window exposure, bedroom dimensions, kitchen and bath placement, floor level, elevator access, laundry, package arrangements, and heating or cooling. For a city-planned development, check the current project status and whether applications are open rather than assuming that a public announcement means units are ready.
The city’s Inwood plan includes housing, open-space, and waterfront components at specific sites. Those plans can help explain nearby construction or future public spaces, but they do not guarantee a view or private access for an individual apartment. Walk the route from the entrance to the places you expect to visit, noting changes in grade and the exact path to a public waterfront or park entrance. Confirm the building’s address, entrance, and any construction beside it.
Older buildings and new projects require different questions. For an existing apartment, inspect the unit and ask about recent repairs, window condition, appliances, and services. For a newly delivered home, confirm which amenities are open, what is included in the lease, and whether any promised work remains underway. Use official plans to distinguish confirmed public projects from proposals, then get unit-specific details in writing from the listing contact. The neighborhood label spans multiple corridors, so compare listings by cross street and building rather than by name alone.
