Soho vs. Soho

My take on it is that there is a relative discount to lofts on broadway vs. other streets in Soho. Many of the units i've seen on broadway only have windows on one side of the unit, versus other units on smaller streets having windows on both ends of the loft. However, because the rent on the ground floor is so lucrative on Broadway, the maintenance in these buildings is also lower than other Soho streets. The increased windows sort of balance the lower maintenance other out in a way.

Since the unit you looked at had a lot of light, maybe your unit has windows on both ends?

Anyways, I dont think all Soho lofts are the same (obviously). You have some that are walk-ups, some with elevators, some with large retail spaces in the ground floor, some with lots of natural light, noisy streets, odd floorplans with columns, shorter lofted bedrooms, artist in residence etc.

Oh, thought this was about Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep.

You have to ask yourself if you can deal with the crowd. Guessing it is worth 15-25 percent discount to the rest of Soho if your only entrance is from Broadway. Windows facing broadway is no big deal if you can enter on Mercer.

And as 300 should point out, if you can afford it.
