Exploring New York City from your holiday apartment in Sugar Hill

In the past, many people have mistakenly thought of Harlem as a single neighbourhood but it too has its own districts, with their own atmosphere. Sugar Hill got its name in the 1920s and it reflects the ‘sweet’ life of the wealthy black population who lived here. It runs from 155th to 145th Street, north to south and from Amsterdam Avenue in the west to Edgecombe Avenue in the south. Even today it is an area of handsome and substantial apartment blocks and in 2000 New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission made it a historic district.

Move south of Central Park and a holiday apartment in Chelsea could be your base as you explore south Manhattan and downtown. Chelsea used to be a largely industrial and commercial area but has more recently been colonised by art galleries and the city’s young professionals.

The High Line is a disused railway line that was converted into an elevated walkway and park in 2009, giving great views of the city.
