If Harlem ever even remotely resembled a CBD, the East Bronx would gentrify quickly. However, that doesn't look like it's happening/going to happen at all. Maybe if the SAS finally gets built?
Remember when the Clinton's moved to Harlem and that was supposed to be the start of something bigger? There are definitely more white people in Harlem but there are still no major enterprises apart from Columbia University.
Mt. Sinai is in Harlem and that's a major institution. Beyond that there is rapidly growing retail on 125th street and improving retail on other streets. Harlem is close enough to Midtown it doesn't need a CBD to gentrify.

Stop trying to *over-hype* Harlem. It's still pretty ghetto overall and dirty, especially with those Meth heads on 125th walking around talking to themselves. The only difference is more white people and it's more expensive. All that will happen is it will become another overpriced dirty neighborhood in Manhattan, of which there are many. Call me when something earth shattering happens. The only reason white people are moving up there is because they've been priced out elsewhere. I'd take Inwood (west of Broadway) any day over Harlem.

Harlem is a lot more than 125th Street, thank you. Speaking of, lots of older buildings on 125th Street are undergoing gut renovations to make room for new retail.
And I'm telling the truth, plain and simple. Lots of white people are moving to Harlem. We all know why. And the neighborhood is changing nonetheless. And yes, it will become an another overpriced neighborhood in Manhattan.
Central Business District. Most of the white people who live in Harlem work in Midtown. 145th Street on the A, B, C, D is just 15 minutes by express train from midtown.
I'm not sure about that, I think hipsters prefer to live in gentrifying neighborhoods
The restaurant working hipsters or the ones who work white collar jobs? Or the ones who are white collar by day and restaurant servers by night? Which group of hipsters?
Well the Bronx right by 138th St is already getting hit with the hipster hammer; SoBro as they call it. I seen with my own 2 eyes the wicker furniture shops, overpriced cafes, generic bistros, crappy organic fruit stores... it's depressing.
Keep the Dominicans and the Pastelitos. Keep the Jamaicans and the Jerk Chicken. Keep the ...well the junkie Puerto Ricans around 161st and Morris by the courthouse? They can go.
