What to Know Before Moving to Spanish Harlem<\/h2>\n

History<\/h3>\n

Before World War I, Spanish Harlem was inhabited mainly by Italian immigrants and was known as Manhattan’s first Little Italy. But after the war, when Puerto Rican immigrants settled in, the neighborhood became known as El Barrio. First and second-generation children of the original Puerto Rican immigrants established an artistic renaissance in the 1960s and 70s, much like the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.<\/p>\n

Neighborhood Transition<\/h3>\n

Gentrification is happening in Spanish Harlem, just like in many other Uptown Manhattan neighborhoods, but it isn’t happening in a consistent way. With one of Manhattan’s highest concentrations of public housing, much of the tenement housing will remain. However, along with renovations of pre-war buildings and new developments, yoga studios and trendy hipster shops are sprouting up at various points around the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
