"Park The Best Part"

If you drive up W. 143rd Street, you will find something rather unique about the street. Despite a bunch of apartment buildings lining the streets, the most sought after area on the street is what lies between Harlem River Drive and Malcolm X Blvd.

At this location is a huge park. During the summer many people hang out here. If you have kids, they will love to be there. In fact, you may find your kids there playing baseball or basketball.
Pros
  • Nice neighborhood park
  • A peaceful neighborhood feel
Cons
  • No nightlife scene

"West 143rd Street"

Perhaps not the most eventful street in the Heights, but a pretty one nonetheless. I think this is a great block to look for a place to live, but doesn't offer much in the way of anything touristy. To be honest, this side of town is really for its residents, and that is shown through the convenience stores and the constant hubbub.

This street is close to the A at 145th street and is always busy.
