LOCATIONLower Manhattan. TriBeCa is a triangular-shaped area located below Canal Street. It is flanked by Broadway to the East, by the Hudson River to the West and by Chambers Street to the South. To the north lies SoHo, to the east - Chinatown, to the south - the Word Trade Center area and Battery Park City. CHARACTER AND FEELPacked with A-list celebrities and successful execs, TriBeCa today is miles away from the artist haven it was in the 1970's. But its streets and buildings are full of character and one might say the neighborhood today deservedly ranks as one of New York's "coolest". APARTMENTS & REAL ESTATEMost of the area's apartments are lofts, with all the pricing implications. Generally, you need to be able to stomach $5,000+ rents to even consider living in this neighborhood. With that said, there are a handful of "conventional" rental apartment buildings in the area as well, although a lot fewer than in neighboring Battery Park City. Condo-wise, both conversion buildings and new developments (which often try to mimick the architectural style of the surrounding area) have apartments with multi-million dollar price tags. For buyers not intimidated by board reviews, several co-op buildings (e.g. 80 Warren, 55 Hudson, 135 Hudson, 530 Canal, 56 Warren, 474 Greenwich, 44 Lispenard, 288 West, 76 Laight, 57 Walker, 36 White, 158 Chambers) exist as well, although the vast majority of TriBeCa residential buildigns are condos.

Mostly rich people with a taste for loft living - Wall Streeters, the independently wealthy crowd, famous entertainers (Robert DeNiro, Isabella Rossellini, and many others have apartments in this neighborhood). TriBeCa is more slightly less densely populated than the rest of Manhattan. SAFETYThe area is safe, but is not very densely populated and some streets may be deserted at night. The 1st precinct is located near the heart of the neighborhood. NAME ORIGINSTriBeCa stands for "Triangle Below Canal". The name is derived from the name of Canal Street, a major street in Lower Manhattan.BRIEF HISTORYAs all things hip in NYC, TriBeCa used to be very affordable. In the 1970's and 1980's its vast industrial spaces attracted artists and other "creatives" the same way SoHo did, at approximately the same time (well, a few years later). Gentrification began and the population soared from a few hundred people in the mid-seventies to over 20,000 in 2003. With new residents came new prices. Today, TriBeCa is anything but affordable.LINKS AND RESOURCESLATEST HEADLINES, NEWS & REVIEWS
