Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated in the heart of Harlem and around a twenty-minute subway ride from Midtown Manhattan, this apartment suits those who want to easily dip in and out of the melée. With homely touches and a custom chef’s kitchen for cooking up a storm, you’ll feel at ease from the moment you step through the front door. Better yet, there’s a private terrace here and while it’s a little overlook, it’s a quiet spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening nightcap.

Local guide
About Harlem
Harlem has long been synonymous with Black culture. In the early 20th century, the neighbourhood was the setting for African-American-led movements in music, literature, dance and art – collectively known as the Harlem Renaissance – that featured innovators like Bessie Smith, Langston Hughes and Josephine Baker. That legacy is still evident today, especially along the area’s main thoroughfare, 125th Street, which is anchored by the Apollo Theater. Other highlights include...
