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.
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.
