Historic neighborhood with accessible charm
Sugar Hill is a quiet residential neighborhood tucked away in the center of Upper Manhattan. It was named for the “sweet life” it provides residents including prominent 20th-century Black leaders like Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and jazz musician Cab Calloway. A historically upmarket and landmarked section of Harlem, the area’s tree-lined streets feature prewar co-op buildings, large Romanesque Revival townhomes, a few Queen Anne-style mansions, and a handful of condo complexes. “With well-maintained income-restricted homes the norm and reliable express subways to Midtown, homebuyers get great value here,” says Yaal Gluska, a salesperson with Compass who resides in nearby Hamilton Heights and specializes in the area.

A chance to live in old New York luxury without Manhattan premiums
Though Sugar Hill is compact, made up of 20 blocks between West 145th Street and West 155th Streets, it has a wide variety of housing. Two-bedroom units in income-restricted co-ops start at $290,000. These carefully preserved prewar buildings often feature ornate architectural details. Comparable condos in updated complexes go for $500,000 to $750,000. Single-family Romanesque Revival and Renaissance Revival townhomes, often with upwards of five bedrooms, fetch between $1.8 million to $3.5 million.

Well-utilized parks and cultural offerings
Forming a natural buffer with Central Harlem, Jackie Robinson Park has a world-class public pool, dog run, and old-growth trees. While the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling is visited by kids from throughout the city, the recently restored and expanded Beaux Arts style Hispanic Society Museum–specializing in art from Spain, Portugal and Latin America–is another great cultural destination.
