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.
Largely developed in the 1930s with stately art-deco buildings such as the Park West Terrace Apartments, 4720 Broadway, and 251 Seaman Avenue, this family-oriented neighborhood is enriched by an eclectic mix of residents.
