Tribeca, which stands for “triangle below Canal Street”, has been a haven for artists since the 1970s. The Tribeca neighborhood is a peaceful pocket of quiet between Soho and West Soho and the busy Financial District due west of Civic Center and Chinatown.
The neighborhood is full of large, airy lofts and artist studios housed in converted warehouses. South of SoHo, the neighborhood is also a favorite of A-list celebrities, investment bankers (Goldman Sachs is very close by in Battery Park City) and now techies who have moved to NYC in droves.
Tribeca’s cobblestone streets weave between beautiful restored buildings and newly-built modern spaces that attract a trendy crowd. Tribeca is one of the richest neighborhoods in the US and the second wealthiest neighborhood in New York City.
Tribeca is the luxury neighborhood that supports many of the executives working in the Financial District which is very close by. Its proximity to Soho is also a huge benefit for residents who want to be close to the retail action of Soho, but not necessarily live in that neighborhood.
For those looking for luxury lofts Tribeca has many, as large warehouses have been converted to large 3,000+ square feet apartments. For those looking for a single family home, however, real estate in Tribeca is too grand for these types of homes.
In terms of luxury buildings Tribeca has quite a few, so there are luxurious apartments for rent and for sale throughout the neighborhood. If you want to rent in Tribeca, beware that rental rates can be quite steep as most properties are very large.
Tribeca has a ton of attractions to offer those who love spending time outdoors. Cross over West Street and hop onto the Hudson River Greenway, where you can take a stroll along the Hudson River. When the weather warms up, head to Pier 25 where you can play a game of beach volleyball on their volleyball court, not something you would expect to do in the big city.
Tribeca is also home to Washington Market Park, a serene neighborhood park that has tennis and basketball courts and a playground. This park also often has events on holidays, like a Halloween parade and a Christmas party.
Tribeca also has many galleries that display works from top artists. One of the most celebrated galleries is Alexander and Bonin, which often has shows from mid-career artists.

Kennedy Jr., who moved to Tribeca in the 90’s when the neighborhood was somewhat desolate (especially at night), before Tribeca became as famous as it is now.
