This reply is a little belated, but my cousin, as in my aunt's daughter, called it Mott Haven. It's by the first stop after Harlem-125th on the 6. 138th, I think? Anyway, maybe it isn't Mott Haven, but I have seen a few white people down there with my own two eyes. Not enough to call it a wave of gentrification, but enough to make my aunt think there will be one. The way things are going, I really wouldn't be surprised. There are some lofts and stuff near her building, a buttload of antique stores, and a nice view of the water. Oh yeah, and cheaper rent. No, I wouldn't be surprised.
Plus, haven't a few people mentioned on this forum that's it's beginning to happen in the south bronx?
Oh yeah, and I'm aware of the projects across the street from my aunt's building. Not like it's deterred those pale-cheeked and horn-rimmed-glasses bedecked urban pioneers before.
