181st Street is a station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. It is located on Fort Washington Avenue and 181st Street, one of the main shopping districts of the Hudson Heights neighborhood of Washington Heights. It is served by the A train. The station has two tracks and two side platforms and is deep below the surface due to the area's hills. In fact, the highest natural point on Manhattan is in Bennett Park (New York), adjacent to the station exit on Fort Washington Avenue between West 183rd and 185th Streets (there is no West 184th Street on the hill).
Because of height, elevators at the north end of the station carry passengers to the Bennett Park exit, and escalators lead to 181st Street from the south end of the station. There's an additional exit through the side of the hill leading to Overlook Terrace at the north end, at West 184th Street. (The street exists at lower elevations.) The elevators can be used by pedestrians going between Overlook Terrace and Fort Washington Avenue without paying a fare.
The station is included on the National Register of Historic Places. As part of the Multiple Property Submission of the Historic Resources of the New York City Subway System, the 181st Street Station is significant in the areas of transportation, community planning, engineering, and architectural design. It serves the surrounding community, as well as Yeshiva University (though the 181st Street station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line is closer).
