All the latest real estate and neighborhood news from Curbed NY...
1) Brooklyn and Harlem: By comparing the median home prices of every neighborhood in the five boroughs from June 2013 to June 2014 and taking the neighborhoods where the property prices increased the most, Crain's has identified the five most quickly gentrifying neighborhoods in New York City.
