Harlem Real Estate Harlem Apartments - Harlem Townhouses - Harlem Condos Harlem is mostly a housing fusion of palatial 19th century brownstones, spacious
pre-wars and dingy tenement walk-ups. A diversified mix of New Buyers are coming to Harlem for the neighborhood’s history
and the immaculate houses on Strivers Row—plus fixer-upper brownstones that cost 20 percent of what they would a mile
to the south.
Many small developers are converting brownstone, shells of destroyed buildings and narrow vacant lots into condominium apartments.
For home buyers, this new wave of condo conversion in Harlem provides an opportunity to live in a neighborhood with small-scale
buildings without having to buy the whole building. These apartments, typically floor-throughs and duplexes ranging from $500,000
to $1.7 million provide town house amenities, like terraces, gardens and fireplaces, and uncommonly good light for Manhattan.
Larger condo buildings with doormen and other amenities are now going up on Harlem's avenues.
The East Harlem/El Barrio (Spanish Harlem) community stretches from First Avenue
to Fifth Avenue and from East 96th Street to East 125th Street. Central Harlem stretches from Central Park North to the Harlem River and from
Fifth Avenue to St. Nicholas Avenue.
West Harlem, including Hamilton Heights and Sugar Hill, stretches from 123rd to 155th Streets and from St. Nicholas Avenue
to the Hudson River
