From its murals to its famous taquerias (where you’ll find New York’s best tacos), East Harlem is considered one of New York’s hottest neighbourhoods. You might hear East Harlem referred to as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio, but no matter what you call this trendy neighbourhood, it’s an ideal location that’s still affordable by Manhattan standards.

The community is a 2-minute walk from the 103 St. stop on the 4 and 6 trains, a 10-minute walk to the 96 St. stop on the Q train and a 20-minute walk from the 110th St-Central Park North stop on the 2 and 3 trains. It’s only a half-hour commute to the Financial District or a 10-minute commute to Midtown on the 4 and 6 trains.
