Known for: The big lofts, quiet
streets, and good schools (P.S. 234) still draw doctors, bankers,
and lawyers, with or without baby No. 1. These days, "it seems
a little more touristy because of ground zero," says resident
Jay Wolowitz. "Expect to get stopped by someone asking you to
take their picture or find out where JFK Jr. lived."
Boundaries: Roughly stretching
from Broome to Barclay Streets, between Broadway and the Hudson River.
Borders: Soho
and Lower Manhattan
Subway stops: The 1 or 2 train
to Canal, Franklin, or Chambers Streets, or the A, C, E line to Canal
or Chambers Streets. |

 OUTLOOK

What's new:
Brokers describe the neighborhood as "essentially done"—nearly
everything convertible has been converted. Among the final few:
73 Worth Street, with 30 condos, and 50 Murray Street, a high-rise
rental of more than 300 units with an Equinox gym. The Hubert, a
brand-new sixteen-story loft building at 7 Hubert Street, is scheduled
for summer 2004. The former state offices at 80 Chambers Street
may be the swankest newcomer in the area: Sub-Zero fridges and Bulthaup
sinks are standard.
Bargain hunting:
There's really no bargain area in Tribeca, but, says Stan
Ponte of Stribling & Associates, "new developments with 300
units are going to have rent incentives and special deals"
as developers scramble to fill them up.
Prediction: All those conversions have loosened supply and
will hold values down.
