"All People Commenting are White"
East Harlem is a very beautiful neighborhood and I've lived here for over 10 years. Most people speaking about crime rates and uncleanliness sound very microagressionist. New York City overall is very dirty it smells strange unless you're in an uber rich neighborhood. Soho reeks of trash in the summer and has rats fighting in trashcans.
Crime rates have decreased and yes some people make you uncomfortable but have some common sense and don't go out at 2 am expecting to meet a lovely person. Also the crime rates and people go for all around the city.
I've met so many lovely people in East Harlem, they stand up and support one another.
You really get the feeling of being in a community, neighbors talk to one another. I was almost hit by a car a few months ago and a few ladies I've never spoken to rushed to help me and yelled at the man driving.
Overall its a beautiful place to live. Lots of restaurants (not just pizza like the rest of the city) chinese, mexican, dominican, italian, and cuban food. The community is diverse and full of life. I love living here.

Pros
- affordable rents
Cons
- 6 line
We moved here with high hopes but are disappointed with management and how they handle and support tenants and building issues. There are areas that are safe but in my opinion undesirable and not worth thr rent. As far as neighbors helping, that's bull in my hood. People would rather jump in front of a pregnant woman on a train or elevator. No class and no courtesy. This is my experience in E Harlem. Don't bother, move to Astoria.
But bigots like you should stay away!!
