TriBeCa

LOCATION

Lower 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 FEEL

Packed 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 ESTATE

Most 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.
