LOCATION

East Harlem's (new) southern border is 97th street, western - Fifth Avenue. To the east and north, East Harlem is flanked by the Harlem River.

The southern border moved up one block from East 96th street, thanks to the arrival of a multitude of market-rate rentals and condos (in new, as well as converted buildings) in the blocks between East 96th and East 97th.

APARTMENTS & REAL ESTATE

Other than housing developments (projects) of various sizes, the neighborhood mostly contains the standard New York 4-6 story "tenement-type" housing, although in recent years several "market-rate" rental and condo buildings have been built as well...

DEMOGRAPHICS

Before 2000, East 96th street (the neighborhood's former southern border) was one of the most famous socio-economic "boundaries" in North America: to the south of it lied the affluent Upper East Side and to the north - the significantly less affluent East Harlem, where within the span of a few blocks, the average household income plunged to only a fraction of its sub-East 96th value.

That contrast has been softened and the border bluerred somewhat by gentrification of the late 1990's and 2000's. The "border" itself moved one block north, to East 97th street.

Gentrification aside, the population of East Harlem remains considerably less affluent than that of its southern neighbor. The neighborhood contains a significant number of housing projects run by NYCHA (Carver, Lexington, Washington, Clinton, White, Metro North, Lehman, Johnson, Taft, Jefferson, Corsi, Wagner, Robinson, Lincoln).
