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. To get around New York City, you can take the subway on 155th street which will get you north into Inwood, or you can take it south past Central Park, through Lower Manhattan, and either into Queens or Brooklyn!
Sitting alongside Jackie Robinson Park, enjoy nearly 13 acres of green space that stretches the entire length of Sugar Hill, offering an amphitheater, recreation center, swimming pool, athletic courts, and wooded walking paths. Stroll through the Covent Garden to see the flowers bloom in the spring, or enjoy a performance at the Dance Theatre of Harlem, or perhaps take the family to the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art and Storytelling.
