NoHo Overview

NoHo is Manhattan's most intimate luxury neighborhood—a landmarked pocket of cobblestone streets, cast-iron buildings, and exclusive residences that attracts design-conscious buyers and celebrity residents.

NoHo (North of Houston Street) is one of Manhattan's smallest and most coveted neighborhoods. Just a few blocks square, this landmarked district packs exceptional architectural density: 19th-century cast-iron buildings, starchitect condominiums by Herzog & de Meuron and Gwathmey Siegel, and some of the most desirable lofts in the city.

The neighborhood's exclusivity stems from its limited size, landmark protections that restrict new development, and a concentration of design-forward buildings that attract buyers who value architecture and privacy. NoHo streets like Bond, Great Jones, and Bleecker have become synonymous with downtown luxury.

Key facts about NoHo:

• Population: approximately 5,000 residents
• Median household income: ~$150,000
• Median apartment sale price: ~$3.5 million (2025)
• Walk Score: 100 (Walker's Paradise)
• Historic District: NoHo Historic District, NoHo East Historic District

Who Should Live in NoHo?

NoHo History & Architecture

Architectural Evolution

Historic Designation

The NoHo Historic District was designated in 1999, protecting the neighborhood's architectural character and restricting demolition. The NoHo East Historic District followed in 2003, extending protections to the eastern portion. These designations limit new construction and preserve NoHo's intimate scale.
