East Harlem
East Harlem, long known as El Barrio, runs from the Upper East Side's northern edge to the Harlem River. Its inventory mixes tenement stock, large postwar housing complexes, and the newer condominium construction that followed the Second Avenue subway and the 2017 rezoning. Buyers are frequently priced out of Yorkville and Carnegie Hill and buying newer construction for the difference. Confirm whether a building carries a tax abatement and when it expires — the difference to carrying cost is substantial.
