Tribeca originally functioned as a primarily industrial region, until the 1970’s/80’s when artists and musicians began to take up residence in its borders.
To date it is easily one of Manhattan’s most chic and affluent neighborhoods, boasting over half the city’s top ten restaurants, several of the trendiest nightspots, and Robert Deniro’s coveted Tribeca Film festival.
Due to it's past as a warehouse saturated district, housing in Tribeca is predominantly converted lofts, making for spacious apartments that cater not only to those interested in the neighborhood’s fashionable notoriety, but also to families and professionals, as the area is likewise in very close proximity to the financial district and excellent public schools.
Because of its slight removal from the more chaotic sectors of downtown, Tribeca is a simultaneously vibrant and quiet community, suitable for both individuals intent on “seeing” and “being seen”, and those looking for retreat.
