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

    by

    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 

    Carrie Bradshaw’s stoop scenes were filmed at 64 and 66 Perry Street in the West Village.

    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.

    Her fictional $700 rent contrasts with today’s $4,000 studios at the same address.

    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 

    The exterior of Carrie and Big’s lavish penthouse was filmed at at 1010 Fifth Avenue.

    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. 

    The interiors of the aerie were shot at the Academy Mansion on 2 East 63rd Street.

    Craig Blankenhorn/Max

    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 

    Carrie’s sleek Tribeca loft was pure fiction—built entirely on a soundstage.

    Craig Blankenhorn/Max

    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 multi-million-dollar condo mirrors the real-life market where homes top $3 million.

    Craig Blankenhorn/Max

    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 

    Carrie made a move to 3 Gramercy Park West in ‘And Just Like That…’ season two.

    James Devaney/GC Images

    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.  

    The Georgian-style townhouse last sold for $5 million in 2022.

    Craig Blankenhorn/Max

    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.

      Inside Taylor Swift’s $150 Million Property Portfolio

      by

      When Taylor Swift isn’t lighting up stadiums or sparking headlines with her professional football-playing boyfriend Travis Kelce, she’s orchestrating a real estate empire that rivals even the most seasoned property moguls. The Grammy-winning songstress, who achieved billionaire status in 2023, largely thanks to the immense success of her blockbuster Eras tour, has crafted an impressive portfolio of residences valued at over $150 million, from the bustling streets of Manhattan to sun-soaked Beverly Hills. 

      Much like her music, Swift’s homes are eclectic, polished, and unmistakably her. There’s the storied Rhode Island mansion that’s played host to her legendary Fourth of July parties—star-studded affairs attended by the likes of Emma Stone, Blake Lively, and Gigi Hadid—a sleek Nashville penthouse nodding to her country roots, and plenty more in between. Though she’s not known to have acquired any homes in the U.S. in a number of years, the Cruel Summer singer reportedly scooped up a home in London recently and has proven she’s equally as adept at navigating the world of ultra-luxury real estate as she is at conquering the charts. Let’s take a closer look at all the homes that anchor Swift’s glamorous yet grounded lifestyle. 

      Hendersonville Hideaway 

      Long before she filled stadiums and dominated the charts, Swift’s real estate journey began in Hendersonville, Tennessee, where her family relocated in 2003 to support her budding music career. In March 2004, they purchased a 6,800-square-foot waterfront home for $790,000. Set on over an acre along the Cumberland River, the spacious abode features four bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering serene views and quiet privacy just outside Nashville. Still owned by Swift’s parents, the property remains a sentimental cornerstone of her early years. 

      Nashville Condo 

      In 2009, Taylor Swift bought her first home, a $1.99 million penthouse in Nashville.

      At just 20 years old, Swift made her first real estate move with the purchase of a luxury penthouse condo in Nashville’s upscale Adelicia building. Picked up in 2009 for $1.99 million, the 4,100-square-foot Music City crash pad features three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Music Row. Swift personally designed the interiors in a whimsically girlie, shabby-chic-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland style. 

      Forest Hills Home 

      It was long before the crossover entertainer added another Southern gem to her real estate portfolio with the $2.5 million purchase of a stately Greek Revival estate in Nashville’s exclusive Forest Hills neighborhood in mid-2011. Set on six manicured acres, the 5,600-square-foot main residence includes four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, complemented by a 2,000-square-foot guesthouse. The elegant interiors feature vaulted ceilings, herringbone wood floors, and marble fireplaces. The grand estate, nicknamed Northumberland, is still owned by Swift and is where her mother Andrea resides. 

      Rhode Island Mansion

      Perched atop the highest point of Watch Hill, Swift’s sprawling Rhode Island estate is one of her most iconic purchases. Hoovered up in April 2013 for $17.75 million, the 11,700-square-foot mansion boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, eight fireplaces, and panoramic views of Block Island Sound and Montauk Point. The historic property was once home to eccentric heiress Rebekah Harkness, whom Swift immortalized in her 2020 track The Last Great American Dynasty. Known for hosting legendary Fourth of July parties at the estate, Swift is reportedly undertaking a $1.7 million expansion—a new bedroom suite, additional bathrooms, and a full kitchen renovation—solidifying the estate’s status as a coastal palace befitting pop royalty. 

      New York City Penthouses 

      Swift’s Tribeca holdings include two penthouses bought in 2014 for $19.95 million

      Google Earth

      Swift’s Tribeca takeover began in 2014, when she purchased two adjacent penthouses from Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson for a combined $19.95 million. The penthouses—one about 5,900 square feet with seven bedrooms and five baths, the other roughly 2,400 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths—were seamlessly combined into a sprawling 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom duplex complete with a billiards room and sweeping staircase. In November 2017, Swift expanded her domain, purchasing a 3,500-square-foot, three-bedroom loft on the building’s second floor for $9.75 million from financier Jeremy Phillips.

      Beverly Hills Estate 

      In 2015, Swift bought a historic Georgian Revival mansion in Beverly Hills for $25 million.

      Google Earth

      Having already owned a couple of homes in L.A., in September 2015, Swift set her sights on a storied slice of Hollywood history: an 11,000-square-foot Georgian Revival estate in Beverly Hills formerly owned by legendary film producer Samuel Goldwyn. The $25 million mansion, built in 1934, comprises seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Swift successfully petitioned the Beverly Hills City Council in 2017 to designate the home as a historic city landmark. Of the three Los Angeles homes Swift has owned over the years, this pedigreed residence stands as the crown jewel.

      Tribeca Townhouse 

      In September 2017, Taylor Swift added a Tribeca trophy to her real estate portfolio, snapping up a historic townhouse for $18 million. The 5,148-square-foot, 27-foot-wide residence—once owned by disgraced French diplomat Dominique Strauss-Kahn—was purchased via Euro Tribeca LLC, a shell company tied to Swift’s longtime real estate attorney. Built in 1915 and masterfully renovated by architect Leopoldo Rosati, the three-story home features four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a gym, a spa with a steam bath, radiant-heated limestone floors, and a paparazzi-proof garage. A Japanese glass wall frames the planted terrace, ensuring privacy and serenity in the heart of downtown Manhattan. 

      For So Long, London

      Rumor has it that in 2023, Swift quietly snapped up a £10 million (roughly $13 million) home in one of North London’s most exclusive enclaves. Swift is no stranger to U.K. real estate—she’s previously rented homes in the Cotswolds and famously shared a Primrose Hill townhouse with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. But this time, numerous unconfirmed reports say she’s officially pulled the trigger, turning her long-running love affair with the British capital into something a little more permanent. The spread, reportedly once owned by an English politician, is undergoing significant renovations, with planning documents hinting at a private compound that includes a swimming pool and an orangery.

      M. Night Shyamalan’s Former N.Y.C. Penthouse Lists for $14.5 Million

      by

      Plot twist: this New York City penthouse used to be the home of an award-winning Hollywood filmmaker. M. Night Shyamalan, the 54-year-old visionary director behind Signs and The Sixth Sense, bought the duplex apartment in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood for $6.3 million in 2003, property records show. He then sold the pad nearly a decade later in 2012 for a profitable $9.5 million. The seller, whose identity is shielded behind an LLC, shelled out $12.75 million for the deluxe spread in 2021, and now, the spacious downtown abode has popped back up for sale asking $14.5 million. Chris Poore and Eyal Dagan of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing. 

      The penthouse crowns a six-unit boutique condo that dates back to 1888, the listing notes, and in the years since Shyamalan lived there, the two-floor condo has undergone a renovation but still maintains the same floating limestone staircase with a custom-sculpted bronze railing and cozy wood-burning fireplace. Today, the stunning loft-style residence measures a commodious 7,185 square feet and has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a private elevator, and two outdoor terraces.

      The home has three different living areas, one with a monumental fireplace.

      Yale Wagner for Sotheby’s International Realty

      “The celebrity factor can create buzz and make the property more desirable,” Poore told Mansion Global. And, “With three separate living rooms you have ample space for entertaining inside.”

      The place is decked out with soaring 13-foot ceilings, black-painted columns, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of natural light and offer skyline views. The home is centered around open-concept living and dining areas, including a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen with custom cabinets and a black waterfall island at the center. Rounding out the lower level is an small office, a huge, 39-foot-long den, and three bedrooms, each with its own bath.

      A telescopic wall slides opens to expose the office to the main-floor living room.

      The primary suite occupies its own dedicated wing on the second floor with exclusive access to one of the two planted terraces that together measure more than 2,000 square feet. The second terrace is at the opposite end of the penthouse and stretches a whopping 42 feet long. 

      Shyamalan, who most recently wrote and directed the 2024 psychological thriller Trap starring Josh Hartnett, owns multiple properties throughout the tri-state area. In 2023, he reportedly picked up a 218-acre estate in Pennsylvania’s Chester County with ties to the Rockefeller family. His portfolio also includes a Georgian Revival house outside of Philadelphia, which is not far from the filmmaker’s childhood home in Wynnewood that changed hands back in 2022 for $1.5 million.

      The ‘Queen of Versailles’ Is Looking to Flip a Palatial NYC Condo for $19.5 Million

      by

      Jackie and David Siegel, stars of the cult-favorite 2012 documentary The Queen of Versailles, are at it again. This time, the opulence-loving real estate power couple has returned to market a swanky New York City penthouse they bought together just last year.

      Now asking $19.5 million, the Siegels originally shelled out $8.7 million for the Tribeca duplex, as The New York Post first reported. The palatial pad spans 4,800 square feet and comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two powder rooms, and a sprawling private terrace. The apartment is atop 49 Chambers Street, an iconic Beaux Arts building that was built in 1912 by architect Raymond F. Almirall and once served as the former home of the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank. 

      Jackie and David Siegel are aiming to flip their duplex penthouse in Manhattan for $19.5 million.

      Evan Joseph Photography for Douglas Elliman

      “49 Chambers is one of Downtown’s most recognizable landmarks,” Douglas Elliman agent Kirsten Jordan, who’s representing the property along with colleague Lindsay Coleman, tells Robb Report via email. “The facade is so intricate, and then inside you have this iconic contemporary penthouse with sleek interiors and massive living spaces.”

      The home itself has an open floor plan, and Jackie told The Post that they often use the apartment for entertaining. The couple even hosted the cast of the Queen of Versailles Broadway musical starring Kristin Chenoweth at the palatial pad and threw a party for the Victoria’s Voice Foundation, which they founded in 2015.

      The kitchen is equipped with SubZero, Gaggenau, Wolf, and Miele appliances.

      Evan Joseph Photography for Douglas Elliman

      The chef’s kitchen is sleek, clean-lined affair that’s decked out with custom Cypress wood cabinets with the waterfall island, countertops, and backsplash all clad in marble. Elsewhere, the living room opens to an 850-square-foot landscaped terrace with a grill, sink, refrigerator, outdoor speakers, and tons of lush greenery.

      Back inside, the primary suite is equipped with custom walk-in closets and an ensuite bathroom that steals the show with double vanities, crowned mirrors, a freestanding soaking tub, and heated floors. “It’s a great apartment with endless square footage, amazing views on three sides, and a private terrace. A palace of a pied-a-terre,” adds Jordan.

      Currently, the Sigels are in the midst of finishing their main residence, a 90,000-square-foot behemoth in Orlando, Florida, that has been two decades in the making. Once completed, the Versailles-aspiring mega-mansion will include a 35-car garage, a 150-person dining room, a British-style pub, and a replica of the cabin of a private jet. After several setbacks, including being flooded during Hurricane Ian in 2022, Jackie told the newspaper she’s hoping construction on the mega-manse will finally be finished “around a year from now.” The process was recently featured in the HBOMax series Queen of Versailles Reigns Again.

      ‘Today’ Host Savannah Guthrie’s Sprawling NYC Loft Just Hit the Market for $7.1 Million

      by

      While most morning show hosts offer viewers a glimpse into their daily lives, Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie is taking things one step further and welcoming buyers into her New York City home—currently on the market for a cool $7.1 million.

      The NBC News broadcaster is selling the Tribeca apartment that she and her husband, Michael Feldman, bought together back in 2017, reported The Wall Street Journal. The condo, which spans an impressive 3,735 square feet, occupies an entire floor inside a boutique residential building. Internally, you’ll find four bedrooms and three and a half baths. The stylish digs have also been professionally designed by AD100’s Monique Gibson and feature white-oak flooring throughout, plus hand-painted murals by artist Dean Barger. 

      Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie has put her New York City condo on the market for $7.1 million.

      Travis Mark for Sotheby’s International

      What drew Guthrie to the dwelling was the roughly 50-foot great room and, more specifically, its massive concrete ceiling. “It looks so urban and cool,” she told the WSJ. “We just thought it added a certain edge.” Elsewhere, the living and dining areas are separated by a set of massive steel-framed glass doors, adding to the home’s industrial look. Though, a custom marble-and-white oak bar, an antiqued mirror and Saint Laurent marble island add more of glitzy vibe. 

      The Tribeca apartment has a giant concrete ceiling that extends from the great room to the living and dining areas.

      Travis Mark for Sotheby’s International Realty

      Elsewhere, the primary suite sports its own fireplace and an expansive dressing room that has been decked out with custom oak millwork. There’s also a spa-like bathroom that has a soaking tub, a flatscreen TV, a separate shower and bluestone finishes. Nearby, an office could double as an additional bedroom if you’re not the WFH type; it’s currently outfitted with a built-in desk and a hidden Murphy bed concealed by wood panels.  

      Although the pair admitted to the publication that parting ways with their beloved pad is going to be hard, the couple is hoping to make good on their dream of one day owning a townhouse somewhere else in the city.

      Cortnee Glasser of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
