Harlem is made up of various neighborhoods with personalities as different as people. Some singles enjoy cooking at home and reading books...which may be why they remain single! What do you enjoy doing? Look for a neighborhood that offers those activities and options. Study subway maps and become familiar with places you would like to go and what kind of travel times you will have, or times others will have trying to get to you!

Yes, it's a good place for singles. As far as "safety" I'd say look at the local police precinct stats and compare with other neighborhoods you are familiar with. Some of the problems with people saying Harlem isn't safe has to do with their comfort level around people who don't look like them and/or express themselves differently from a cultural perspective. Every idiot kid who wears their pants hanging isn't a dangerous thug. It's part of the imagery of what they see on TV in videos etc. Good and bad things happen in all neighborhoods in New York City. That's just how it goes. Kind of tired of people saying it's not safe. I grew up on the Upper West Side and have lived in Harlem for 12 years now. I think I have an idea of what I'm talking about.
