All of this also comes at a lower cost of living and has more of a residential feel relative to the big city status quo.

Our Top Harlem Moving Tips
There’s some general agreements about where the boundaries of Harlem lie on the island of Manhattan, but it’s not fixed. To the north, the neighborhood ends at 155th Street. To the south, you’ll find the border along 110th Street, Cathedral Parkway, and 96th Street, wrapping around the northern side of Central Park. The East and Harlem Rivers are on the east side and Amsterdam Avenue to the west.
Harlem covers a sizable part of upper Manhattan, and actually is divided a bit further into Central, East, and West Harlem. With that in mind, there’s quite a lot of ground to cover. So, so let’s start with a few key details to get you started:
- Cost of living. Harlem residents will attest to less spendy living than other Manhattanites. Housing costs are quite a bit lower than some of the other borough neighborhoods. For starters, the average rent for a one bedroom apartment in Central Harlem will run about $2,700 a month. It’s gone up in the past year, but still much lower than downtown living. Similarly, if you’re looking to purchase a home, the current median listing price is under the $1 million mark at about $850k. Those who live in Harlem also enjoy the economical transit options available to all New Yorkers from the Metropolitan Transit Authority. The neighborhood boasts easy access to the 1,2,3,A, and D subway trains. There are also a number of buses that traverse the Harlem streets. At $2.75 per one-way ride for subways and buses, you won’t break the bank getting around the neighborhood and beyond. You can also take advantage of the Metro North train line that has a stop in Harlem to get around, particularly in the upstate direction for an outing in quaint Beacon, NY. There are also bike rentals to pedal about the city and rideshare options as well.
- Harlem’s Rich History. There’s much more to explore in this historical neighborhood than we can describe here but that’s part of the joy of being a resident. You’ll be living amongst it and can discover it at your leisure. The area is well-known for its significance in the history of jazz, the Civil Rights movement, as well as the Harlem Renaissance and African American art and literature. Its history of activism and social change can be explored at the Shabazz Center, dedicated to the legacies of Malcom X and Dr. Betty Shabazz. African American artistic expression is celebrated across the neighborhood, from performances at the iconic Apollo Theater, events at Langston Hughes House, and honoring the legacy of jazz greats at the National Jazz Museum. Exhibitions of current and past African American visual artists can be appreciated at Studio Museum Harlem. And that’s just a slice of what can help you better learn what this neighborhood is all about.
- Food with flavor and soul. There’s a little something for all palates in Harlem and it has its own contribution to NYC’s foodie haven title. Make sure to pay homage to “The Queen of Soul Food” at Sylvia’s Restaurant. The restaurant, open since 1962, has been a real staple in the community and a culinary must for those who love a good plate. If you or those you know are eating vegan, but in search of some fantastic soul food, you can always grab a table at Seasoned Vegan. Big fan of big name chefs? Then a stop at Marcus Samuelsson’s Red Rooster restaurant is in order for the fried yardbird, meatballs, and mac and greens. If you’re in search of your next favorite neighborhood bar, Harlem Tavern has what you need on tap. But if burgers and fries are a must, Harlem Shake can serve it up with a froze (frozen rose wine) or Harlem-crafted champagne. With all these options and more, you won’t go hungry finding great flavors in this neighborhood.
- Getting green. While the neighborhood bounds bump up against the northern edge of Central Park, it’s certainly not the only greenspace in which you’ll find residents recreating. When it’s warm outside, you may find folks catching some live music or playing basketball, baseball, or volleyball on the courts at Jackie Robinson Park. If you’re hoping to find a perfect spot for a picnic, venture into the lawns and barbeque areas at St. Nicholas Park. While you’re there, you can visit the Alexander Hamilton Grange, a national historic site and former estate of one of the founding fathers. And, for those days of summer when it’s a real scorcher outside, a dip in the Marcus Garvey Pool might really hit the spot. In the heart of the city, you’ll still be within close proximity to nature in this neighborhood.
