About East Harlem

Our East Harlem runs from 96th Street to 125th Street, between Park Avenue and Pleasant Avenue (First Avenue below 114th Street). Over the past several years, East Harlem has undergone tremendous changes. The City has spent over $1 Billion renovating all of the vacant buildings and filling in all the vacant lots with three family houses.

Because it is in the Empowerment Zone, business has been moving into the area. On 125th Street there is the new 50,000 square foot Pathmark center. At the old Washburn Wire Factory on 118th and the Harlem River Drive, there will be a new Home Depot/Costco shopping center. Along Park Avenue, there is La Marqueta under the EL as well as the Park Avenue Manufacturing Zone. There are two hospitals in East Harlem; MT Sinai and Metropolitan and there are numerous schools and churches. East Harlem is truly the next place to live in New York.
