Directly south of Greenwich Village and west of Little Italy, SoHo is a relatively
small neighborhood bounded roughly by Broadway, the Hudson River, and Houston and Canal Streets, which are major cross-town streets. The main street of SoHo is West Broadway, which to the north becomes Fifth Avenue on the other side of
Washington Square Park. The primary SoHo properties are in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, which was created in 1973 and is bounded by West Broadway, Broadway and Crosby Street, and Houston and Canal Streets.
