Neighborhood

As a historic part of Harlem in Upper Manhattan, Sugar Hill is tied to the Harlem Renaissance, harboring the sense of community that came from the era. Almost entirely residential, in an urban sense, Sugar Hill houses a variety of prewar walk-up apartment buildings, rowhouses, and townhomes that give this neighborhood an architectural appeal. And if cost is an issue for you, Sugar Hill is known as one of the more affordable neighborhoods in the area.

Though the neighborhood offers a few pizza shops, cafes, and delis, there are many more restaurants and shops outside of Sugar Hill.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Great property, no pets allowed

Went to look at the property - it's great. Super only speaks spanish, which caused some issues checking it out. But alas, no dogs were allowed, so we weren't able to rent.
