Expect four distinct seasons, with warm, lively summers by the Harlem Meer and Frederick Douglass Circle and vivid fall foliage in the parks. The community mixes long-time residents, families, and professionals, with a proud arts lineage that shows up in jazz spots, galleries, and casual nightlife at 67 Orange Street and Harlem Tavern. Coffee and dining thrive on FDB: Double Dutch Espresso, Melba’s, Vinateria, Levain Bakery, plus nearby Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s on 125th, Fine Fare on 116th, and Blink Fitness. It’s pet friendly, with dog runs and off-leash hours in Central Park, plus playgrounds and courts in Morningside. Subways 2/3 and B/C and frequent buses make commuting easy.
