Located between First and Fifth avenues, and running from East 96th to East 125th, East Harlem is a neighborhood known to many as Spanish Harlem and affectionately referred to as "El Barrio" by locals.
Harlem is steeped in culture and artistic flair, driven by its diverse community. This vibrant neighborhood has served as everything from a farming village to a battlefield to a Manhattan suburb to a commuter town to a working-class community and a center of African-American culture.
During the Harlem Renaissance, Hamilton Heights was home to professional African Americans. The northern part of Hamilton Heights was actually nicknamed Sugar Hill because wealthier African-Americans attracted to the "sweet life," bought homes in the area.
Sometimes referred to as the Upper West Side of the '80s, Washington Heights is hailed as one of Manhattan's most historic and most revived neighborhoods.
