SoHo (SOHO)

Soho is a short form of the neighborhood’s geographic location—South of Houston. As for the rest of its boundaries, Soho is bordered on the south by Canal Street, on the east by Broadway, and on the west by 6th Avenue. On top of popular location, the area has many convenient subway lines making transportation to any part of Manhattan effortless. Till the 1970s Soho was largely a commercial neighborhood with cast in iron buildings. However, in the past decades artists began occupying most of vacant warehouses with natural sunlight and enormous open space. Lately the warehouses turned into residential lofts perfect for sculpting and painting. The area was zoned solely for artists and their studios, some of the buildings even had storefront galleries at the ground level, transforming Soho into a perfect deal for an artist.

Some time later, more and more people realized Soho was a perfect downtown neighborhood. Consequently, today Soho offers one of the most desirable apartment rentals in NYC.

The area boasts stylish atmosphere thanks to working actors and top-models residing here. This neighborhood tends to be one of the safest in all of Manhattan. There are lots of high-end stores, malls, galleries and restaurants in Soho. Around 250 art galleries, four museums, bars, theatres, spas and performance centers can entertain the residents from every walk of life. In terms of architecture, the neighborhood still retains its elegant European-style with Neo Greco and Italianate architecture and cobblestone streets.
