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
