You should keep in mind that different areas gradually build a reputation as hotspots or desirable corridors for shopping, eating, or other entertainment and consumer activities. So, while renting retail space in an area with a well-established high-end reputation might mean more customers that are more willing to spend, it will also place you in a more competitive environment.
Knowing your ideal customer is essential. For your consideration, the average age of residents in East Village is 33. The average household income here is $136,277 per year.
