Michael Imperioli may be leaving New York for Motown.

Last week, the former “Sopranos” star sold his off-off-Broadway theatre in Chelsea for a reported $4.1 million. Now, if his new ABC drama, “Detroit 1-8-7,” finds an audience, the life-long New Yorker says he will consider a permanent move to Michigan.

“It is a big decision, but a great opportunity,” Imperioli, 44, told The Post yesterday. “I am really loving where I am living [while filming the new series]. There is really a lot to discover there.”

The actor also just put his Tribeca townhouse on the market, it was reported last week.

The actor, his wife and three kids are renting an apartment for the summer in Royal Oaks, an upscale suburb of Detroit.

“We are doing 13 episodes,” he says. “That will bring me to the holidays. I think in the fall, we will have a better idea of how we are doing in the ratings and if it looks like it is going to have legs.”

Imperioli — whose last series, “Life On Mars,” was axed after 17 episodes — stars as Detective Louis Fitch, a Detroit cop with Big Apple roots.

“He has been on Detroit homicide for 10 years,” Imperioli says. “He spent time working as a detective in New York, and something happened there that hasn’t been really specified. He’s escaping something, or it propelled him to go.”
