Folks, im in the market for a 2-bed rental in the city. Torn between a 1600-sqft loft in Tribeca ($6700)and a 1200-sqft ($7000) amenities filled condo in East Chelsea. I’m tilting towards the TriBeCa loft (because I like the idea), how good is this neighborhood? My wife and I are looking for a fun neighborhood, good square footage and decent price (<$7k). Thoughts?

Something tells me this is a humblebrag... Anyway I would go with the Tribeca loft

Generally lower energy. More families as you approach Battery Park City area.

You need to increase your budget

Sounds about right. Should consider buying

Tribeca loft. Building amenities are overrated IMO. You pay for them and don’t end up using them nearly as much as you think you will.

Those two neighborhoods are very different. Spend some time walking around in each and see which one is more to your taste

Would go for East Chelsea for more walkable locations

Both of those neighborhoods are completely different. TriBeCa is pretty quiet and family oriented. Chelsea is... not.

Amenities and having a doorman are really nice imo. Even if you don't use the building gym, having a doorman, laundry, trash all in the building makes life easier. That said it's a condo so make sure you have full access to amenities, that the condo owner is on top of their sh*t, & that renters are treated equally to owners. I lived in a coop & condo. The condo had a concierge that wouldn't help me w/anything & maintenance wouldn't fix any issues w/o owner approval & he was very unresponsive.

“Decent price”

We live in a 1,400 sq ft apt (incl outdoor space) in Greenwich village for $7K and love it. Tribeca is too far south and east chelsea is too far north

If you want a fun neighborhood, avoid those two and check out the various Villages 🙂

Lol worse
