Neighbourhood
Welcome to East Harlem, affectionately known as El Barrio! Living here, you're in the heart of a lively Manhattan neighborhood that’s bursting with culture and the tempting aromas of local cuisine.
When you’re ready to dive into the arts and history, the world-famous Museum Mile is just a quick trip away. Board the 6 train downtown and in about 20 minutes, get off at 86th Street. From there, you're a short walk to several top museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which houses over two million works of art spanning 5,000 years. Just a bit further along you’ll find the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, famous for its spiral structure and modern masterpieces.
Exploring beyond the neighborhood is a breeze. For a quintessential NYC experience, Times Square is about 25 minutes away via the 6 train to Grand Central, then a quick hop on the Shuttle S. Central Park, perfect for a midday escape, is even closer—just a 15-minute ride to 68th Street Hunter College.
Interested in seeing the Statue of Liberty? It’s a bit further but straightforward to reach. Take the 4 or 5 train from 125th Street, switch to the 1 train at Fulton Street, and head to South Ferry Station. From there, it’s a quick walk to the ferry terminal. Allow about 45 minutes to an hour for the journey.
After your city adventures, Thomas Jefferson Park in your neighborhood offers the perfect spot to relax. It’s a quieter place where you can enjoy some downtime or just people-watch.
Living here isn’t just about having a place to stay; it’s your gateway to exploring the excitement and wonders of New York City, including some of the world's most famous museums. Dive into everything the city has to offer, then come back to a neighborhood that feels like home. We can’t wait for you to join us here in East Harlem!

Hello PLU members! My name is Ximei. I'm a professional preschool teacher and I live with my boyfriend, Tejas, who works as a solar engineer. We both have a passion for traveling—thanks to Tejas’s ability to work remotely, we can easily sync our travels with my school breaks. We consider ourselves mature and responsible, always treating others and their properties with respect. We're also avid outdoor adventurers and huge animal lovers, so we'd be more than happy to look after your pets if needed. We're new to this community and still learning the ropes, but we're excited to start connecting and building our profile. Thank you for welcoming us!
