Neighborhood Profiles

Central Harlem

Central Harlem is the cultural and historic soul of Upper Manhattan. Known for its grand boulevards like Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd and its rich jazz heritage, the neighborhood offers a vibrant urban lifestyle. The real estate market is a mix of beautifully preserved 19th-century brownstones, value-driven HDFC cooperatives, and a surge of modern luxury condominiums that offer contemporary amenities near the 125th Street retail corridor.

Gowanus

Gowanus features a striking mix of 19th-century brick warehouses, Greek Revival rowhouses, and new glass-and-steel condominiums rising along the canal waterfront. The F, G, R, D, and N/W trains are accessible at nearby Smith-Ninth Streets and Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street stations, with Atlantic Terminal a short walk north. Washington Park and the Old Stone House landmark anchor the neighborhood's green space, while a major rezoning is bringing thousands of new residential units and waterfront parkland to the area.
