The Lay Of The Land
Hudson Square was zoned for printing plants, and the buildings show it: broad, heavy-framed structures from the 1920s with high ceilings and freight-scale elevators, the kind of floor plate that later made the district a hub for advertising, media and technology companies. A rezoning in 2013 opened the blocks to housing, and residential towers have gone up since along Spring, Varick, Greenwich and Renwick Streets.
The apartments that came with the rezoning are new construction: full-service buildings with lobbies, gyms, roof terraces and glass curtain walls, on the west side often with Hudson views. A smaller number of older loft conversions sit on the SoHo edge along Sullivan and Thompson Streets, where the scale drops to five-story walk-ups.
The river is the defining amenity. Hudson River Park runs the full western edge, with Pier 40's ball fields and the bike path; Pier 25 and 26 are a short walk south. To the east, SoHo's shopping starts at Sixth Avenue and the West Village begins at Houston. Restaurants cluster on Hudson Street and along Spring.
Transit is the 1 at Houston Street and Canal Street and the C and E at Spring Street, with the A, C and E at Canal a few blocks south. The Holland Tunnel approach on Canal and Varick brings heavy evening traffic to the southern blocks; the streets north of Spring are calmer, and the blocks by the river are quiet after dark.
