What sets Washington Heights apart
Transport, utility and right-of-way land (684 acres) outweighs industrial land here, a pattern you see where rail yards, expressways or the river take up much of the map.
Washington Heights has 25,169 residents and 1,459 jobs, so loading docks here tend to sit close to homes. Street access and loading hours can matter as much as count when a truck is booked.
