Historic, loft-style living with a booming restaurant and shopping scene
Home to some of the city’s most iconic, loft-style interiors, SoHo (aka South of Houston Street) has the largest concentration of cast-iron buildings in the world. In fact, the neighborhood itself is a National Historic Landmark, with preserved 19th-century facades that once housed factories and warehouses. In the 1960s, these vacant industrial sites became artist lofts, hence the coveted, large open floor plans. Many studio spaces have since been converted to luxury apartments, condos and co-ops, as well as office, mixed-use and retail spaces. “It’s such a vibrant and exciting neighborhood with incredible culture and restaurants. The cast-iron buildings and cobblestone streets make it feel like its own little city,” says Nicole Hechter, an associate broker at Corcoran Group and one of the area’s top-selling agents. “It’s a great juxtaposition of smaller boutiques and high-end name brand fashion. The nightlife and restaurants are incredible, and there’s always something new to explore. It really is the epicenter of downtown Manhattan.”
Broadway has beautiful older-style buildings to compliment the rich culture of SoHo.

Ultra-luxe eateries with a stylish crowd
From classic NYC mainstays like Balthazar and Fanelli Cafe to chic newcomers like Principe and design-forward spots like La Mercerie, SoHo is home to some of the city’s best restaurants. For casual fare, Ruby’s serves up Australian dishes for a hip crowd, while Yubu offers Korean small bites. Expect longer-than-average wait times at the trendier, scene-y spots. In the evening, stylish crowds gather at elevated hotel bars like The Crosby and SoHo Grand, among others. Bodegas and smaller grocery stores include Sunrise Mart, a Japanese market that offers yummy prepared dishes and Mulberry Market. There’s also a Target Grocery on Broadway and a Whole Foods near Bowery.

Open floor plans with high ceilings and hefty price tags
The current market consists of both co-ops and condos, but there’s limited inventory in both sectors. “If the property is turnkey or has something special like outdoor space, it goes very quickly,” Hechter says. A prewar loft-studio can go for as low as $550,000, but most one-bedroom condos typically start at $1.3 million and up. Two-bedrooms average around $3.7 million, but can easily extend up to $30 million. “If you’re coming to SoHo, your general wish list is going to include that great room with open, airy, and high ceilings,” adds Hechter. That said, there aren’t many traditional, multi-room floor plans in SoHo. Although the majority of the area consists of historic buildings, there are some newer condo developments in the area with modern glass-facades, like 110 Charlton, a French Industrial-inspired condominium at the crossroads of SoHo, Tribeca and the West Village. Other notable, newer builds include 10 Sullivan, designed by famed architect Cary Tamarkin, and 565 Broome Street, a luxury high-rise condominium designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano.

High-end luxury brands and boutiques mingled with artisanal pop-ups
What was once a working-class, artist-centric neighborhood has become a busy tourist destination due to the retail boom along Broadway. Everything from Madewell and Prada, to Zara and Bloomingdale’s have anchored the neighborhood as a prime retail location. Along Greene and Mercer Streets, high-end shops like Louis Vuitton lend an air of exclusivity. But the area’s once-humble, artistic roots have not been entirely eclipsed by brand names, and there’s still a distinctly local, creative energy found in the smaller pop-ups and artisanal shops.
Dior and Versace are just some of the many high end fashion stores in Soho.
