Lined with cobblestone streets, impressive architecture, and the world’s most fashionable retailers, Soho is one of New York City’s community gems. This cozy district features world-class dining, incredible art galleries, and a culinary scene like no other. While it may not be as bustling as Midtown or the Flatiron District, Soho has its own unique charm unlike any other neighborhood in Manhattan.

Once a hub of manufacturing warehouses and businesses, Soho was predominantly an industrial area and has since expanded to be one of the most coveted neighborhoods to live in Manhattan. Old warehouses have been intricately renovated and transformed into luxury condos, apartments, and unique loft studio spaces. A hub of art galleries and quaint cafes, Soho is the perfect neighborhood for creatives, the culturally-minded, and those seeking a quirky, New York neighborhood to call home.
