Soho is premium real estate in New York City, the kind of real estate that holds its value over the long term.

Soho real estate rose to fame as a neighborhood in Manhattan for artists during the 1960s and 1970s, when the cheap spaces vacated by departing factories were converted by artists into enormous lofts and huge studios. In a pattern that would become familiar throughout the city in subsequent decades, this Manhattan neighborhood rapidly rose up the socioeconomic scale, leading eventually to an migration of most actual artists that left only a residual film of galleries, boutiques, exclusive restaurants, and young urban professionals.

It is named Soho because it is the area South of Houston Street, and in reference to the Soho area of London.
