Looking at 1399 Park Ave condo. It's a bit higher up than I would like, but seems amazing. Anybody here live there or know someone who does? Cross street is 104.
The pricing there does look much better than standard UES pricing! That said, it is near this underpass area that may be poorly lit/sketchy at night. You probably want to walk that underpass area a few times to get comfortable before buying in the area.
I use the 103rd st station often. The stretch on 103rd between Lex and Park is frequented by unpleasant groups of guys all time of the day. I haven't been there at night. I'm not saying it's outright dangerous, but it's not nice. On the other, there have been some new cafes, etc between 98th and 103rd opening the last 2-3 years.
I live in a different part of Harlem and like it very much. There are things that I see which concern me, but in the 7 years I've been here, they haven't ever been a real issue. For me, what is important is that it's a great area near transit and parks, and has a real community feel. It's a little quieter than where I used to be on the UWS, yet still is very vibrant.
I loved on 106th about 8 years ago before I was married - I loved it!!! Such a great area. I'm not easily spooked and never had an issue. That being said there are def some sketchy areas, and projects around. You have to be careful at night obviously .
