CITY SEARCH OVERVIEW

WELCOME TO TRIBECA

Today, with the revitalization project in the neighborhood, many Manhattan newcomers have been flocking to this trendy neighborhood now known for its upscale restaurants and stunning views of the Hudson River, Freedom Tower, and the Statue of Liberty.

HISTORY AND CULTURE

Once a neighborhood of industry, Tribeca used to be filled with manufacturing warehouses and open-air markets. The Washington Market was the largest of its kind in the late 1800s before Tribeca was gentrified and brought back to life by artists who started squatting in the open, airy lofts. By the 1970s, neighboring SoHo’s prices were on the rise, and many artists began moving West to find similar lofts without the steep prices. Like SoHo, the area between Broadway and the Hudson River on the East and West, and Canal and Vesey on the North and South, was renamed to rebrand the neighborhood and reflect the directional boundaries.


Today, with the revitalization project in the neighborhood, many Manhattan newcomers have been flocking to this trendy neighborhood now known for its upscale restaurants and stunning views of the Hudson River, Freedom Tower, and the Statue of Liberty.

  • 45 percent of people who live in Tribeca are married with kids, while 39 percent are married without kids.
