i live over there. i am right off cleveland like 5 blocks east of harlem. i love my street. everyone keeps up their property very well. i havent had any problems. but again…i dont plan on being here more than 5 more years or so. it may not be worth the risk. but if youre looking for a starter house or something cheaper, this is not a bad area. you can get much more house and land for your money. if you are planning on living there for more than 10 years though, i may rethink.
