Previously known as the Warehouse district, NoHo (short for “North of Houston Street”) is an in-demand residential neighborhood in downtown Manhattan with an artistic and bohemian bent. And here’s a hot tip: Even though people from all walks of life frequent this part of the city, the locals know that the bordering street is pronounced “HOW-ston,” not “HEW-ston” like a certain city in Texas. After you get the pronunciation right, you can bump elbows with your neighbors and visitors alike through the local art galleries and studios, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and historical architecture. This is a great place to get out, get creative, and set down roots.

Our Top NoHo Moving Tips
Your new lower Manhattan lair sits between East Houston Street and East 8th Street. It also stretches from Mercer Street to Bowery and 4th Avenue going east to west. Nearby you’ll find SoHo (to the south, of course). NoHo is also sandwiched by Greenwich Village to the west and East Village.
Before kicking down the area’s cobblestones, here’s a few highlights to get you feelin’ groovy in your new home:
- Cost of living. Generally speaking, this is one of the parts of NYC that gives truth to the phrase “City livin’ ain’t cheap.” Housing options are diverse, but are limited. There’s a mix of newer luxury buildings, lofts, and walk-ups. For reference, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is a little over $4,200 a month and has stayed pretty steady at that price in the last year. At that price, the majority of NoHo dwellers are renters. If you’re ready to settle down to purchase a NoHome though, set your sights on a median listing price of $3.5M. And, that’s what the listing price is at now after having gone down a bit in the past year. Of course, this will vary depending on where in the neighborhood you live. What about when you want to be away from home? Living in NoHo puts you close to about 8 different MTA subway lines. This means you’ll be well connected to virtually any part of the city you choose with a reasonable cost for commuting ($2.75 per ride). Being centrally located, near so many attractions, and so many options for commuting make the cost worth it for many residents.
- Arts and culture. By and large (or small), NoHo is no-holds-barred when it comes to art. From the tiny creations displayed at the Small is Beautiful Miniature Art Museum to the monumental sculptures that serve as a common meeting space like the Astor Place Cube, which is actually called “The Alamo”. The neighborhood also features galleries galore, including the eccentric offerings at The Hole and even larger institutions including the contemporary art on exhibition at the New Museum. In terms of architecture, the prestigious Cooper Union school offers degree programs in art, architecture and engineering. It’s Foundation Building is both a landmark and a sight to behold for those who are big on built structures.
- Cafes, shops,and boutiques by day. You’re going to need energy to take in all that’s in store for you in NoHo. Down a cup of fair-trade java to fuel your day at Think Coffee on Bleeker — it’s one you can feel good about. They donate10% of its profits to local charities. As you continue to take it all in, you’ll come to realize that New York City is its own visual medium with all the architecture and diversity. But that doesn’t stop when you head indoors. A stop at Dashwood Books on Bond Street keeps the visual delights coming as an independent bookseller featuring photography books. If you’re an audiophile who is particularly interested in niche and not-found-elsewhere sound-related materials, then In Living Stereo’s collection of speakers, stereo equipment and vinyl records is a must-see. And, a great place to find some decor for your residence is Olde Good Things, a purveyor of antique and architectural finds befitting of a hip, bohemian home.
- Art films and lounge bars by night. Film buffs will recognize the cred that is due to some of the local art house theaters in the neighborhood, such as Angelika Film Center playing new and classic films. More into live theater? NoHo’s got you covered there. It’s home to Astor Place Theater, which has featured Blue Man Group and other off-Broadway productions. You can also take in a Shakespearan experience (and other provocative plays) at The Public Theater if that’s more your vibe. Folks who seek laughs from on-stage productions might also be interested in checking out Clubbed Thumb. Taking in a libation after the show — or even take in another spicy burlesque performance — at Duane Park Supper Club.
