Originally a manufacturing area, Soho was saved from being torn down to create a highway and is now the poster neighborhood for urban regeneration. Its wealth of cast iron architecture, high-end shopping, and expensive real estate has made it one of the most sought-after and trendiest neighborhoods in the city. One can find celebrities, artists, tourists, and the downtown elite packed onto its busy streets. Countless high-end stores pack each block, providing ample shopping opportunities and top-notch restaurants that are unrivaled elsewhere. Soho is bustling, fast-paced, vibrant, and chic. Living in Soho guarantees the best that Manhattan has to offer within walking distance.
