Around the Block

Noho:
A creative pocket of Downtown Manhattan.

Noho, short for North of Houston, has a reputation of being one of the most in-demand neighborhoods in New York City. The area’s long-standing commercial history from 1850 to the early 1900’s helped shape the neighborhood’s striking architectural features, along with influential residents such as the Delanos and Peter Cooper. Formerly known as the “Warehouse District,” Noho’s vintage store-and-loft buildings have since been modernized to suit a more fashion-forward and edgy downtown styling.
