When i walk around its either feast or famine . There is million dollar condos and homes and then public housing and low income housing. There are some apts on 142 and 140 that are not classified as nycha but have the nycha housing sign out front . Samuel something apts ?
Lenox doesnt have much only some spots more down like 135 and further south. Pretty . 5th is all PJ . 7 & 8th have more options for food and drinks the more west you get.
What aee your thoughts on this area and the future of it
West Harlem is really a block by block thing and while it has definitely gentrified compared to East Harlem, there are definitely some rough spots that you should be aware of. One thing that never sat with me is how rat infested some parts of West Harlem are, even more than East Harlem.

Million dollar condos literally don't mean anything. That's pretty much standard pricing in NYC.
there's a bit of everything although there is a slight difference between the east, center, and west side of the streets. the east side has a huge housing project that caters to the wants and needs of local middle and upper middle classed folks who park their cars in fenced in parking lots and garages and have completely secure elevators up to their terraced apartments overlooking the east river drive. surrounding this area, though, is grinding poverty. the center of the street is starting to gentrify. corporate executives and other professionals living in $3,000,000 lofts where welfare recipients, the working poor, etc. live directly across the street or in the next building appear in the vicinity of covenant avenue. then, up the hill, you have the western section of the block along broadway which is heavily dominican or bohemian. the architecture is more elaborate. between broadway and the hudson river lies the most prosperous part of the block, where bohemians, African Americans, African Immigrants, and bohemians trying to find cheaper rent than downtown or up in Washington Heights or Inwood reside.

Yeah, this pretty much sums it up. It's a big area of Harlem and varies a lot depending on where you are in it.
140-145 east of bradhurst is trash.. that's just what the hell it is
