Perched in Upper Manhattan between 155th Street and Dyckman Street, Washington Heights is a neighborhood steeped in history and alive with culture. Overlooking the Hudson River and the Harlem River, the area is defined by its elevated terrain, which offers sweeping views of the city and inspired its name.
Washington Heights has long been known as a home for immigrants and families, creating a neighborhood of resilience, diversity, and cultural vibrancy. Dominican culture thrives here, from music and food to festivals and businesses, giving the area its nickname “Little Dominican Republic.” Broadway is lined with family-owned shops, vibrant restaurants, and cultural hubs that reflect the neighborhood’s deep roots.
At the same time, Washington Heights is also a place of history and legacy. The neighborhood is home to landmarks such as the Cloisters, Fort Tryon Park, and the George Washington Bridge — symbols of both New York’s history and its growth. Its economy blends residential life with healthcare, education, small businesses, and cultural institutions.
The unique identity of Washington Heights lies in this balance: a tight-knit, family-driven community that honors its past while embracing opportunities for the future. Clean, well-maintained spaces are vital here, supporting quality of life for residents, creating trust for businesses, and preserving the pride of one of Manhattan’s most storied neighborhoods.

In shared residential, commercial, and institutional settings, high-touch points can quickly become sources of contamination.
