How hot is Harlem?

One indication is the number of times it has been featured on Selling New York, one of the best shows on real estate, in our opinion.

Harlem has been featured on three episodes recently:  west, central and east.  The neighborhood looks great, and the units are spectacular.  Two weeks ago they featured the Apex Condominiums which are located above the Aloft Hotel on West 124th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard.  The client was so impressed with the neighborhood and the condo that he ended up purchasing an additional unit in the same building.  Last weeks episode included an old church that had been beautifully renovated into a living loft on East 112th Street and 2nd Avenue.  The broker stated that East Harlem is an up and coming neighborhood attracting a lot of Downtowners.  For the Grand Opening and viewing of this property they hired a DJ and The Harlem Gospel Choir performed.

Check it out for yourself, on HGTV.  You can find “Selling New York” on Thursdays at 9:30PM on HGTV channel 64.

Harlem featured in The Boston Globe

Posted on June 6, 2011 by | 3 Comments

Harlem featured in The Boston GlobeBy HarlemCondoLife
Not too long ago, Harlem was profiled in  The Financial Times, the UK-based publication. Now The Boston Globe takes its turn and profiles our community in its travel section this past weekend (June 5). Jessica Allen, the reporter, spends two days in Harlem along with her husband and discovers “Harlem makes a visitor feel and taste its forward movement.”

Harlem featured in The Boston GlobeThe article highlights various experiences from listening to jazz, to eating at Amy Ruth’s and to drinking at some of our unique establishments, such as 67 Orange and bier international. However, the most notable items in this article are not necessarily about places, but crafted words about Harlem. Allen states “perhaps no other area in New York so eagerly honors its history as Harlem.” She points to our famously named streets, such as Malcolm X and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Furthermore, Allen goes on to say “despite the interest in what came before, these days Harlem seems utterly future-oriented.”

We couldn’t agree more with The Boston Globe! And to Jessica Allen and her husband, come back and see us (Harlem) again now!

New York Magazine acknowledges, Harlem is hot

Posted on February 8, 2011 by | 1 Comment

What a difference a year makes?  Let’s reflect! April 11, 2010 Harlem is poorly ranked by Nate Silver for New York Magazine’s Neighborhood Issue. Does anyone remember this article? I certainly do. That article inspired me to write Top ten reason why Harlem is one of the best neighborhoods to live in. Let’s fast forward to today. Harlem and several local establishments are currently featured bright and big this week in a series of articles under the banner The Everything Guide to Harlem in NY Mag. It’s a creme-de-la-creme of articles featuring restaurants, markets, shops and bars in Harlem. My favorite article is The New New Harlem, which is sort of a “Whose In and Whose Out.” In my view, featuring several establishments in this type of format demonstrates the caliber and variety of places located in Harlem. Plus in order to pit two businesses against each other, there has to be plenty of selection. Clearly, Harlem has reached that point.

In closing, I will use soccer terms to describe this Harlem milestone. This article is another G-O-A-L for Harlem. Remember, we won Curbed Cup 2010 too. More importantly, it recognizes (again) what most of us have known all along, and now NY Mag too, Harlem is hot! Adelante!
