Is 147th street safe for a Spanish man? Thank you!

I am moving on New York and the best apartment I have found is in West 147st street, Harlem. I am Spanish. I would love you to give me your sincere opinion about the convenience of living in that location to me. I am going to stay in NYC for three months.Thank you!!!

Well, in the Harlem area all together in 2010, 39 murders took place in the area. If you're a man you dont need to worry about assault or rape, but hundreds of burglaries and robberies. But Harlem is getting safer, in 2005, around 75 people were murdered in harlem. In 2012 im guessing somewhere around 35? Enjoy this great neighborhood of nyc. It has shops and resturants and nightlife, just walk with a crowd and you'll be fine.
