Neighborhood Profiles

Soho

SoHo contains the world's largest concentration of cast-iron architecture, with approximately 250 landmarked buildings within the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. The housing stock centers on spacious loft conversions with high ceilings and oversized windows, alongside luxury condominiums and pre-war walk-ups, served by the C, E, N, Q, R, W, 1, 4, and 6 trains. The cobblestone streets and commercial corridors along Broadway, West Broadway, and Prince Street define one of Manhattan's most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods.

Chinatown

Chinatown occupies a dense section of Lower Manhattan centered on Canal Street, where 10 subway lines converge including the 6, J, N, Q, R, W, and Z trains, making it one of the most transit-rich neighborhoods below 14th Street. The housing stock consists primarily of prewar walk-up buildings alongside newer condominium developments and the 44-story Confucius Plaza residential tower. Columbus Park, one of the city's earliest public parks, and the 7.8-acre Sara D. Roosevelt Park provide open green space along the neighborhood's edges.
