WELCOME TO HARLEM/MORNING SIDE:
Where history feels like home. Harlem is known as an important touchpoint of American jazz, literature, and civil rights history. And for good reason: major streets like Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd., Malcolm X Blvd., and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. pay homage to civil rights leaders that actually walked those passageways. Meanwhile, venues such as The Apollo Theater, Hotel Theresa, and Sylvia’s Restaurant stand as iconic landmarks frequented by both history buffs and culture seekers alike.
THE NEIGHBORS:
Professionals and lifelong residents. Long-standing residents have been the driving force for community development in Harlem since the early 1900s, seeing the neighborhood through generations of artistic innovation, cultural shifts, and social change. Professionals are fans of Harlem energy and cultural crossroads status. Sleek café patios, historically named scenic plazas, art galleries, and ethnic markets represent a refreshing collision of old and new. Meanwhile, mid-career newcomers find that the neighborhoods renovated brownstones, tree-lined streets, and options for public and private schooling make Harlem an attractive place to settle down.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
A quiet residential scene in the midst of a bustling cultural hub. Unlike many other tourist and commuter-friendly Manhattan neighborhoods, life in Harlem can feel as quiet as it does connect to the rest of the city. On one hand, there’s a peaceful, residential spirit throughout the neighborhood, evidenced by street pick-up basketball games and block parties. But Harlem is also home to a thriving cultural scene, which brings a constant vibrancy and excitement to the neighborhood.
WHAT NOT TO EXPECT:
A bar-driven, late-night party scene. In Harlem, weekend dining and coffee culture are as significant as the nightlife scene. Live jazz brunches at venues like Harlem Tavern and Ginny’s Supper Club attract diners with an inventive cocktail menu and music mix. Locals appreciate the abundance of cozy dining spots and lowkey lounges and wine bars that are popular here.
THE MARKET:
Affordable nineteenth-century apartments and brownstones are becoming more competitive, and new developments are popping up throughout the neighborhood. Charming, historic brownstones and walk-ups are relatively abundant, especially from 125th to 145th streets. Those in search of more modern digs will find them closer to major avenues such as Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Malcolm X Blvd.
YOU’LL FALL IN LOVE WITH:
The rich history and widespread sense of community. Legendary music and food venues are only a few reasons to love living here. Residents of all ages and stages revel in the equal sense of historical significance and current cultural cachet. Harlem continues to serve as a mecca for artistic and creative expression, and that tradition continues to pass from one generation to the next.
