NoHo

Life in NoHo (North of Houston Street) is a sophisticated blend of avant-garde history and modern-day exclusivity, tucked into a compact six-block enclave. Once a playground for iconic artists like Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, the neighborhood remains a creative powerhouse centered around the legendary The Public Theater and its cabaret-style venue, Joe’s Pub. Residents and visitors navigate cobblestone streets to discover hidden historical gems like the Merchant’s House Museum, Manhattan’s most preserved 19th-century townhouse, or the ornate The Cooper Union building at Astor Place. The area’s intellectual and artistic pulse is further fueled by institutions like the New Museum nearby and the world-famous Angelika Film Center, while the iconic “Alamo” cube sculpture serves as a local meeting point for students, performers, and professionals alike.

The real estate market in NoHo is among the most coveted and expensive in New York City, characterized by massive 19th-century manufacturing lofts and revolutionary contemporary architecture. Known for its distinct “cast-iron” aesthetic, the neighborhood offers expansive residential lofts with soaring ceilings and oversized windows that are a hallmark of buildings like those found on Bond Street and Lafayette Street. These industrial conversions are now juxtaposed with “starchitect”-designed developments such as the glass-and-steel 40 Bond Street or the refined brickwork of 10 Bond. Because the neighborhood is largely landmarked, inventory is extremely limited, ensuring that property values remain resilient. Whether it is a sprawling full-floor co-op in a historic warehouse or a boutique luxury condominium, NoHo real estate represents a premier investment in a district that flawlessly preserves its bohemian spirit within a high-status urban framework.
