Central Harlem is a neighborhood in upper Manhattan that has a rich African American history. It extends from the north end of Central Park at 110th Street to the Harlem River, and from Fifth to St. Nicholas avenues. You can read more about it in our latest Neighborhood Secrets column.

It also happens to be one of the top places to live if you have a car—at least according to Brick Underground’s best and worst neighborhoods in Manhattan for on-street parking. The neighborhood came in at #2.

A mix of good transit options and low car ownership rates make Central Harlem easier than most to find street parking, says Michal Eisenberg, a data scientist for Localize.city, which crunched the numbers to come up with our list.

If you are in the market for a new apartment and you own a car (or are thinking of buying one), then these four condos and one co-op for sale in Central Harlem with open houses this weekend might appeal to you. They’re all also listed for less than $1 million.

308 West 133rd St., #8B

There are 13 apartments available in this new 11-story condo building with open houses this coming weekend. We chose #8B for its price point, location on a higher floor, and because it has a dining alcove off the kitchen, unlike some other layouts. The one-bedroom, one-bath apartment has oak floors, limestone countertop and backsplash, and Carrera marble bath. The building includes a recreation room with fireplace, roof deck, and bike storage. It is a few blocks from the B and C trains at 135th Street. It is listed for $689,000.

The open house is going to be held Sunday, June 24th, noon-1:30 p.m.
