Cost of living
ACS median gross rent is $2,995 across all occupied rental units — studios through large apartments mixed together, not a live 1-bed or 2-bed quote.
That is 21% of median household income — under the 30% HUD cost-burden line. A household at this area’s median income ($174K) could “afford” about $4,355 a month at 30% of gross pay.
73% of households rent. Median home value is $1,963,075.

HUD treats 30% of gross household income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS median rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed — that table is all occupied rental units. Method.

Nightlife
Crime is NYPD Part I reports per 1,000 ACS residents — not a judgment of who lives here. Home and rent figures are ACS medians, not live MLS. Read the method.
On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
Cast-iron and cobblestones, then quiet streets and art-storage money. Tourists on Broadway; actual residents one block over. SoHo is the showroom; Tribeca is the quieter, even richer south. This polygon treats them as one relocator unit — tour as two.
Schools and playgrounds exist in Tribeca in a way SoHo’s ground floors do not. Weight cost (you will lose) and walk. Nightlife is restaurants, not clubs. The subway is the A/C/E/1/N/Q/R/W depending on the block, which is the luxury.
Compiled from Zillow neighborhood guides, 5280 Magazine, Chicago and San Francisco resident guides, Mpls With Love, Eastside LA reporting, and local coverage, 2025–2026. Editorial — not part of the fit score.
