One of Manhattan’s hottest neighborhoods to live in, East Harlem is a vibrant residential area that is bound by the Harlem River to the north and the east, Upper East Side to the south, and Central Park to the west. Known for its heavy Puerto Rican and Latin American influence, as seen in the ethnic cuisine and colorful street art, East Harlem is a diverse neighborhood where you will find college students, families, and working professionals all living on the same street. New housing developments have changed this once poorer neighborhood, sometimes referred to as “El Barrio,” into a more affluent and highly sought-after Manhattan area with still reasonable housing prices compared to those of Upper West Side. Fifth Avenue serves as the main commercial corridor into East Harlem, along which you will find a collection of some of New York City’s most popular museums and attractions. This beautiful apartment is on the fourth floor of a six-story elevator building on a relatively quiet, tree-lined, one-way street that intersects with Madison Avenue. Close to nearby convenience stores, supermarkets, and restaurants, this apartment is an ideal home for anyone looking to walk or ride a bike. A short, five-minute walk will get you to 110th Street station for the 4 Lexington Avenue Express, which operates at all times and will get you down to Murray Hill and beyond. Street parking, Wi-Fi, and a flat-screen TV are included with this rental. Schedule a tour to see this luxurious East Harlem unit before it is gone.
