Tribeca

Tribeca is the epitome of downtown cool, a slice of urban jungle that’s as hip as SoHo, but without the tourists and the congestion.

At a Glance

Tribeca is an upscale neighborhood known for high-end real estate and well-heeled residents — a downtown haven for European cars and pedigreed dogs. It’s also a truly gorgeous area that mixes glorious old cast-iron lofts, wide cobblestone streets, and dramatic new buildings. Decades ago, these lofts housed artists and squatters. But the bohemians have given way to cool-seekers with bigger bank accounts. Now, this neighborhood is among the most expensive places to live in the city. That hasn’t cost the neighborhood much of its sophistication, though. Nightlife in Tribeca remains busy but refined, attracting a cosmopolitan crowd with an appreciation for the finer things in life.

The Mood

Upscale restaurants and boutiques make up Tribeca’s chic commercial center, while quiet cobblestone streets and impressive loft buildings lend the area an air of tranquility.

Heart of the Neighborhood

The Odeon, a brassiere and retro haven for artists and locals alike, has been open since the 1980s and epitomizes Tribeca's insider allure.

Neighborhood Quirk

A cast-iron footbridge spans Staples Street, a teeny alley off Duane Park, and connects a building on Hudson Street to a townhouse on Jay Street.

Best Perk

You cannot ask for a more central Downtown Manhattan neighborhood, or for better subway access.

Biggest Downside

Real estate in Tribeca is extremely expensive, and the neighborhood can have a rarefied, snooty feel at times.

Its proximity to the Financial District is a boon for many professionals.

While Tribeca once was the heart of Manhattan’s artists' community, now it’s one of the top neighborhoods for celebrity-spotting.
