Central Harlem is primarily made up of two communities known as Astor Row and Striver’s Row. These names were given to rows of historical townhomes in the area that all make up the larger neighborhood of Harlem. For the past few years, Harlem has been experiencing extreme gentrification and having new life breathed into it. While Central Harlem is primarily residential, there are plenty of businesses, restaurants, local amenities and doctor’s offices in this community.
