Harlem with its roots dating back to the the 1900's, was the the place to live and be seen. With the best brownstones and apartment's lining Lenox and 7th Avenues, no other community was as luxurious as this community.

The Harlem Renaissance is the artistic, cultural, and historic life about race and African American’s in America in the 1920’s and early 1930’s.

Today, these homes still exist and are in the forefront of today's living.
