Question

Why was rent in harlem so high?

Answer 1

The correct answer is; The rent was so high because the neighborhood was in demand because it was located in the city.

Further Explanation:

The people who lived in Harlem were mostly African Americans and immigrants. Harlem spans several blocks and houses more than 7000 people at a time, still in modern times. The rent was very high and the apartments would house more than one family at a time. Rent was the same for one room in an apartment as the rent for the whole apartment.

People who lived in Harlem would have "rent parties" on the weekends when they had a day off so that they could get the money to pay their rents. People would sleep in shifts and sleep in the floors of kitchens and hallways.
