The Lay Of The Land
Tribeca, the triangle below Canal Street, was a wholesale and warehouse district whose sturdy nineteenth-century buildings made it ideal for loft conversion when manufacturing left. The streets are short and partly cobblestoned, the buildings broad and low, and the overall feel is calmer and more private than the busier downtown neighborhoods around it. It has become one of the most expensive residential areas in the country while keeping its industrial bones.
The housing is loft and new-luxury. Converted warehouse floors offer some of the largest apartments in Manhattan, with high ceilings, oversized windows, and open layouts, and newer condo towers have added full-amenity buildings to the mix. The market skews heavily to ownership and to larger layouts, with rentals fewer and priced accordingly.
Transit is solid. The 1, 2, and 3 run under Varick and West Broadway, the A, C, and E stop at Canal and Chambers, and the R and W reach City Hall, so both the West Side and the Broadway lines are close. The neighborhood sits within easy reach of the rest of downtown.
The Hudson River Park along the western edge, the restaurants of Greenwich and Franklin Streets, and the quiet of the side streets define the area's rhythm. Tribeca suits someone who wants space, quiet, and architectural character at the top of the market, and who values a low-key, residential downtown over a lively one.
