Tribeca, Manhattan, NY

About Tribeca, Manhattan

No matter the name - “Triangle Below Canal Street,” “TriBeCa,” or simply “Tribeca” - Tribeca holds the spotlight as one of New York’s most desirable places to live. As one of the oldest neighborhoods in NYC (check out its cobblestone streets), Tribeca’s colorful past spans from its humble beginnings as farmland, to its pivotal role in NYC’s textile and art industries, to its fashionable yet mellow character today.

Elaborate cast-iron architecture, high-end shopping, world-renown dining, excellent schools, and little crime mean real estate here is some of the country’s most expensive. But if you can afford it, Tribeca is an urban paradise just steps from the hustle and bustle of Lower Manhattan.

The History of Tribeca

Tribeca’s story begins as 18th century farmland, with subsequent growth making the area one of NYC’s first residential neighborhoods. By the 1840s, Tribeca became a critical hub for NYC’s produce and textile industries, with massive warehouses rising along Broadway. Artists drawn to these affordable and immense spaces began to move in by the ‘70s, turning the buildings into “live/work” loft-style homes. Ongoing neighborhood revitalization was halted following 9/11, but community efforts helped Tribeca quickly rebound. By the late 2000s, as families and urbanites drawn to Tribeca’s lofts began moving in, the neighborhood emerged as one of the most sophisticated in New York.

Tribeca Demographics

Tribeca’s roughly 18K residents are extremely affluent; Tribeca consistently ranks among NYC’s most expensive neighborhoods, with over half of its households earning over $200K a year. The majority are also highly educated and white. Since the late 2000s, a rush of nuclear families moving to Tribeca has pushed the neighborhood’s share of households with children above the citywide average (29% vs 25%, respectively). According to a Localize analysis, Tribeca zip codes 10007 and 10013 were the 2nd- and 8th-most wealthy NYC zip codes in 2019, and the neighborhood is home to the Who’s Who of entertainment including Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds, and so many others.

Transportation in Tribeca

Transit options are abundant, with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, A, C, E, J, N, Q, R, W, and Z trains all passing through or near Tribeca. Ferries departing from Brookfield Place/Battery Park City take riders to stops in Midtown, Jersey City, Hoboken, and more. A PATH stop at the World Trade Center connects to several in New Jersey, and local transit is supplemented by buses. Tribeca’s central location, however, means you may not need to rely on anything other than your own two feet to get around.

Housing in Tribeca

Converted 19th and 20th century warehouses define Tribeca’s housing stock. In these historic mid- and high-rises, you’ll discover spacious units and impressive views, which translates to premium prices. New construction often includes large, amenity-rich lofts, so if a prewar building doesn’t fit your bill, other options are available.

Neighborhood Life in Tribeca

Tribeca’s near-central location in Lower Manhattan means locals always have something to do, whether it’s attending a summer festival or testing your sommelier skills at a local wine bar (nightlife here skews slightly older). A recent art scene renaissance has ushered in a new wave of artists, with galleries seemingly opening on the daily. Perhaps understated, Tribeca’s uncrowded streets, laid-back nature, and idyllic setting are arguably its best qualities, rivaled by few areas elsewhere in Downtown.
