The popular Tribeca neighborhood in Manhattan is home to a number of celebrities, including Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Robert De Niro. But don’t be put off; Tribeca is a great community for non-celebrities, too. Bordering Canal Street to the north, West Street to the east, Broadway to the west and Vesey to the south, Tribeca is a happening spot for the more than 17,000 people who call it home.

Tribeca is lauded as one of the safest neighborhoods in New York City, and is known for being trendy and stylish. Folks in Tribeca tend to be affluent and educated, and enjoy an above-average quality of life.
