If you are looking for a location with history, flair, culture and affordability then Harlem may just be what you are looking for. This East Harlem Manhattan neighborhood has undergone a renaissance. Starting at 96th Street and extending north to the Harlem River, Harlem has many new developments, including commercial and retail space. As such, it's becoming a population destination for all types of people. With its new construction East Harlem hasn't lost its old historic flavor. There are many pre-war buildings and enchanting 19th century townhouses equipped with fireplaces and molding and lovely backyards.LOCATIONThe East Harlem's southern border is 96th street, western - Park Avenue. To the east, the East Harlem is flanked by the East River. APARTMENTS & REAL ESTATEThe neighborhood contains many housing projects, but in recent years several "market-rate rental buildings" have popped up as well... POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICSEast 96th street (the neighborhood's southern border)has long been one of the most famous socio-economic "boundaries" in America:to the south of it lies the affluent Upper East Side and to the north - significantly less affluent East Harlem, where the average household income is only a fraction of its sub-East 96th value. Although gentrification of the East Harlem that has been going on since the mid-1990's has managed to muddle things somewhat, the boundary still exists and is still visible.
