What is the zip code for Harlem New York?

Answer 1

Each neighborhood does not have its own corresponding zip code. The zip codes were not laid out with the boundaries of each neighborhood in mind. Furthermore, most New York City neighborhoods do not have precise boundaries.

Also note that there are actually TWO Harlems, West Harlem and East Harlem. West Harlem -- which is most often referred to as just plain "Harlem," by native New Yorkers and out-of-towners alike -- is the historic black neighborhood where the Harlem Renaissance took place. East Harlem, aka Spanish Harlem, is a predominantly Latino neighborhood.

If you meant to ask about Spanish Harlem aka East Harlem instead, then see the Related Question below.

For the purposes of this answer, we will use a very broad definition of Harlem. We will say that Harlem is West 110th through West 132rd Streets, from Morningside Avenue to Fifth Avenue through 129th Street, and from Morningside Avenue to Lenox Avenue for West 130th through West 133rd Streets.

By this definition, Harlem encompasses most of the 10027zip code, and all of the 10026 zip code.

If this is too confusing for you, try asking your question again, this time being as specific as possible about the location (for example, "What is the zip code of West 118th Street between Manhattan Avenue and Frederick Douglass Boulevard?" or "What is the zip code of 442 Lenox Avenue?").

The 10027 zip code in Harlem is:

West 120th through West 129th Streets, from Morningside Avenue/Convent Avenue (Morningside Avenue becomes Convent Avenue at 125th Street) to Fifth Avenue, and West 130th through West 132nd Streets, from Convent Avenue to Lenox Avenue.

The 10026 zip code is:

West 110th through 119th Street, from Morningside Avenue* to Fifth Avenue.

*Don't confuse Morningside Drive with Morningside Avenue! Morningside Drive is the WEST boundary of Morningside Park, and Morningside Avenue is the EAST boundary of Morningside Park.
