This garden level apartment is a perfect bolthole for a couple or individual wanting a practical base in Harlem. It's part of a beautiful, historic brownstone building, and opens up onto a beautiful, jungly garden, which is shared with the tenants upstairs. It might not be the most spacious or high-end of our New York homes, but it's certainly a comfortable base and has some great art on the walls.

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...
