Sugar Hill es un barrio localizado en la parte norte de Hamilton Heights, en la cual es un sub-barrio de Harlem, un barrio de la Ciudad de Nueva York en el borough de Manhattan.[1] El barrio limita con la Calle 155 al norte, la Calle 145 al sur, la Avenida Edgecombe al este, y la Avenida Ámsterdam al oeste.[2] El nombre data desde los años 1920s, cuando el área se convirtió en un popular destino para los adinerados afroamericanos.[3]

There are big apartment houses up on the hill, Sugar Hill, and up by City College -- nice high-rent-houses with elevators and doormen, where Canada Lee lives, and W. C. Handy, and the George S. Schuylers, and the Walter Whites, where colored families send their babies to private kindergartens and their youngsters to Ethical Culture School."
