Sylvan Place is a former small street running from East 120th Street to East 121st Street, between and parallel to Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue, in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.
Sylvan Court Mews is a small dead end private street that is unpaved, and contains several 1880s townhouses.
Unlike in other parts of these city with similar houses, like Greenwich Village and Brooklyn Heights, the small street and court have not been restored.
The intersection of the East Post Road, Kingsbridge Post Road, Harlem Road, and Church Lane formed a five-cornered intersection, and the neighborhood that surrounded it was sometimes known as the Five Points, not to be confused with the neighborhood of the same name in lower Manhattan.
[3] Sylvan Terrace, a historic grouping of 20 three-story, wood-framed townhouses or mews within the Jumel Terrace Historic District in Washington Heights, Manhattan, is sometimes erroneously known as Sylvan Place.
