It sure is still much hood. But it would be more hood without all the luxury condos, the high real estate prices, and all the fancy bars and restaurants and boutiques and the Starbucks.

Just like Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights and Bushwick, they are still hood, but hood living next door to wealthy hipsters and yuppies, with a whole bunch of cafes, restaurants and boutiques that didn't exist before. And the average price for a one-bedroom is $2000/month, which was not the case before gentrification. Rents and prices in Harlem are then outrageous for a place that is technically supposed to be hood.

Also, Harlem is still much hood, but some areas like 114th street look more like Chelsea than the hood nowadays. And with all the new constructions for Columbia University on the West side of Harlem around Manhattanville it will keep going this way.

Out of curiosity I looked at Harlem. Since people are always saying the South Bronx is the new Harlem or an extension of Harlem. There are newer luxury buildings for about the same if not even less rent than this new Bronx building. So I don't know why you would want to live in the middle of nowhere, when you live in Manhattan, in an area that least has many trains, stores and restaurants.

South Bronx has better subway access than Harlem! and this area has nice restaurants.
