Every Carrie Bradshaw Apartment, And What They’d Actually Cost You in 2025

For more than two decades, Sex and the City and its sequel And Just Like That… have treated viewers not just to the romances and sky-high Manolos of Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) world, but also to a dreamscape of New York City real estate. From a rent-controlled Upper East Side studio to a Fifth Avenue penthouse and, most recently, a four-bedroom pad in Gramercy Park, the newpaper columnist’s homes have always been as much a part of her character as her witty quips and signature curls. Here, we chart the evolution of her fictional property portfolio. (Please note that many of these are private residences; if visiting in person, be mindful not to disturb the occupants.) 

Upper East Side Studio 

At the heart of Bradshaw’s New York story is her iconic one-bedroom brownstone apartment, a $700-a-month, rent-controlled gem located at 245 East 73rd Street that became synonymous with her character through six seasons, two films, and beyond. In reality, however, no such address exists. The apartment’s interiors were built on a soundstage at Silvercup Studios, while exterior scenes were not even filmed on the Upper East Side but, rather, downtown, on the stoops of 64 and 66 Perry Street in the West Village, which has become a popular pilgrimage site for fans worldwide.

For the first three seasons, filming took place outside of 64 Perry Street before shifting next door to 66 Perry for the remainder of the series. Off-screen, 64 Perry (a.k.a. The George F. Coddington, Jr. House and where Project Runway host Tim Gunn once lived) last sold in November 2013 for $13.25 million, while the most recent listing at 66 Perry—a 490-square-foot studio apartment with a marble fireplace and a tiny but separate and windowed kitchen—was pulled from the market in October 2024 with a monthly rent of $4,000. 

Heaven on Fifth Penthouse 

Marriage to Mr. Big ushered in an opulent new chapter for Bradshaw—one marked by love, loss, and a seriously enviable address. The couple’s penthouse provided a backdrop of pre-war grandeur, sweeping park views, marble finishes, and a closet that was less walk-in and more museum. It also became the site of one of the most pivotal moments in And Just Like That: Big’s tragic heart attack after a workout session on his Peloton. 

However, while the exterior of the building was filmed at 1010 Fifth Avenue, the interior of Bradshaw and Big’s penthouse was reportedly shot at the William Zeigler Mansion at 2 East 63rd Street, also known as the Academy Mansion. This historic residence, designed by architect Frederick Sterner, was originally built in 1921 for William Ziegler Jr., heir to the Royal Baking Powder Company fortune. Ziegler and his wife, Gladys, lived in the 75-foot-wide mansion for just one year before selling it in 1925.

Later owned by Norman Bailey Woolworth in 1929, the mansion was donated to The New York Academy of Sciences in 1949. After the Academy sold the property in 2001, it was purchased in 2005 by billionaire financier Leonard Blavatnik for $31.25 million. Though Blavatnik never took up residence, the mansion has since served as a venue for special events and film productions, including Sex and the City.

Temporary Tribeca Condo 

After Big’s sudden death in And Just Like That season one, Bradshaw copes the only way she knows how—by making a dramatic real estate move. In a grief-fueled bid for a fresh start, she snaps up a sleek, ultra-modern condo in Tribeca, a stark departure from her cozy Upper East Side brownstone. The glassy downtown loft, with sweeping Hudson River views and a persistent mystery beep, feels all wrong from day one. 

Within 24 hours, Carrie puts the multi-million-dollar pad back on the market and retreats uptown—mail-order mattress, vintage lamp, and Big’s vinyl collection in tow. The fleeting move, driven more by emotion than logic, also spares her real estate agent, Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury), from yet another apartment tour—and conveniently nets her a second commission. 

The Tribeca condo may have charmed fans with its cinematic views and minimalist interiors, but it turns out the apartment never existed, according to the Max show’s companion podcast, And Just Like That… The Writers Room. Built on a soundstage, the fictional loft’s river views were conjured with green screens. Still, clues in the background suggest its imagined location: near Bethune and West Streets in the West Village, where average sales top $3 million, per Douglas Elliman. 

Gramercy Park Townhouse 

At the conclusion of And Just Like That season two, Bradshaw makes one of her most momentous decisions yet: she sells her beloved East 73rd Street studio. (In season four of SATC, when her building converted to a co-op, Aidan purchased the studio for them as a couple, and after their breakup her best friend Charlotte famously offered her engagement ring to help Carrie buy the place on her own.)

The decision to sell the apartment came after rekindling her relationship with Aidan (John Corbett)—who, haunted by the past, couldn’t even step foot inside her old place—and prompted the search for a fresh start. The result? A stunning Greek Revival townhouse at 3 Gramercy Park West. Built in 1840, Bradshaw’s newest home is dripping with historic charm. Red brick, cast iron lacework, and gracious proportions define the facade in real life, while television magic added a few more romantic flourishes, including ornate white doors and cascades of purple flowers, which you can peep in the season three trailer.  

In real life, the townhouse is divided into a handful of cooperative apartments. The most recent sale in the boutique building was in 2022 when the duplex penthouse sold for $5 million and there is currently a nicely updated but compact ground-floor studio listed for $900,000, a small price to pay for a private key to Gramercy Park and, Bradshaw might say, a fresh start.
