I will be living in manhattan over the summer for an internship.
Is west harlem a safe area to live in?

We plan on coming to NY and fell in love with Harlem flophouse, 242 W 123rd St. But is it a safe area nowadays? I know Harlemk is better and up & coming, but is it a good idea to stay there with kids? Thanks!

Look at the block, make sure you blend in. Some areas of Harlem can still be difficult for non-blacks. But, see my tshirt site at [teeshirtqueen.com]
