Carrie Bradshaw's Life in New York City Apartments (and the Townhouse)
Carrie Bradshaw, the iconic character played by Sarah Jessica Parker, will grace the small screen for the final time on Thursday night in the series finale of 'And Just Like That…', and while it's looking like she may not find her man, she found her dream home.
From the 'jewel box' studio on the Upper East Side to the dreamy, even if impractical for a single person, Gramercy townhouse, Carrie's homes are as familiar to most fans as their own. The real estate has always served as more of a scene partner than a backdrop in HBO's 'Sex and the City' franchise.
In honor of the final episode of 'And Just Like That…', here is a look back at the apartments that helped form Carrie Bradshaw in two TV shows and two movies.
Carrie's Jewel Box
In Season 1 of 'And Just Like That…,' which premiered in 2023, Carrie refers to her apartment as her 'jewel box.' This is the same apartment she called home in the first season of 'Sex and the City,' which premiered in 1998.
The set for her studio apartment has a living room that frames Carrie's writing window, an alcove that branches into the bedroom, and a closet that connects the bed to the bath. The cozy circular layout, which was created by the set designer, Jeremy Conway, and the decorator, Karin Wiesel Holmes, serves as a respite for Carrie and viewers alike.
