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.
