West Harlem?#1

Posted: 8/21/07 at 11:24pm

Part of the reason I've not been frequenting BWW as of late is due to my stressful moving situation.

2 different deals have fallen through, and I literally just got a fantastic offer for a beautiful place on West 147th Street.

I'm not familiar with the area, I don't know anyone who lives in the area, so I was hoping that someone here might have some insight on the area. More specifically, the place is located on W 147th btwn Riverside and Broadway.

Any help is much appreciated...thanks!

You were missing? I hadn't noticed, and I apologize. Otherwise, I would've organized a search party, complete with an open bar.

I know several people who live up there, within just a few blocks of that specific location. They really like it. I think some of West Harlem has a lot of the most beautiful parts of the city, actually. You probably know this, but the area is undergoing a lot of changes -- buildings are being torn down and huge, brand new apartment complexes are going up, etc.

Good luck -- and you and I really must catch up. =)

I have two friends who both live on 145 on the West Side. They absolutely love it. They have great places for a good price and they say the subway is very convenient where they are.

In fact, the boyfriend and I are considering that exact area when the Astoria lease is up.

W147th should be a great location. Nice neighborhood. My brother-in-law lived near there for a few years and loved it.

robbiej - where in Astoria do you live? I grew up there (decades ago).

Me and the boy have lived in the Broadway/30th St. area for going on 4 years now.

That's a great area. I spent most of my youth on 32nd St, off Broadway, then the last few years on 30th St, again off Broadway.

It's a nice area, munk. The 1 train can get a little packed on the weekends, but other than that, it should be fine. My co-worker just moved quite close to that very location and is quite happy. (Of course, she was coming from Staten Island, but still...)
