[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And that area is more than "mere blocks away" from UES - do you mean UWS?

That area is very block by block. There are some great areas and decent deals. But also some lousy ones. I would do a lot of walking around the block to check out the neighborhood.

Also depends a lot on your school situation. Hard to say much unless you disclose rough ages of kids and what they are doing for school.

A lot factors into these decisions.[/quote]

This is accurate. When we looked at Harlem, there was a void of decent, large stores. There's now a Whole Foods on 125th which probably helps. But it's something to check. And if you have kids who would be commuting, make sure the walk to the subway is safe - including if they'd be coming home after dark.

I know some folks who live in Harlem like it's the burbs - they drive everywhere and shop in big box stores in NJ. I really don't get the appeal of living in the city if you're going to live like that, but YMMV.[/quote]
