How much would Carrie's new Gramercy apartment in 'AJLT' really cost?
Carrie Bradshaw and her Manolos will have plenty of room in her new Gramercy apartment — but what would the sex columnist and fashion guru actually pay IRL for the stunning 1,700 square-feet apartment? In the 'Sex and the City' spinoff, 'And Just Like That,' Carrie, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, upgrades her one-bedroom West Village apartment to a beautiful brownstone in the exclusive Gramercy Park area so that she and her on-again boyfriend, Aidan (John Corbett), could have a place big enough for two. 10 Carrie Bradshaw outside her new Gramercy apartment in 'And Just Like That' Season 3. justlikethatmax/Instagram Advertisement 10 Sarah Jessica Parker's character bought the home for her and Aidan (played by John Corbett) to share. Craig Blankenhorn/Max However, at the end of Season 2, Aidan tells Carrie that they have to put their relationship on hold for five years so that he can ditch the city and take care of his son — leaving his longtime lover alone in her brand-new (and pricey) pad. The Post spoke to Elena Sarkissian, a real agent with Douglas Elliman, and Lauren Mitinas-Kelly, a real estate expert on 'Owning Manhattan' star Ryan Serhant's powerhouse SERHANT brokerage and founder of her own LMK Limitless team, who shared why Carrie — and her heels— made the perfect purchase and how much it could cost the average Joe today. Where is Carrie's apartment? Advertisement 10 When Aidan puts their relationship on a five-year pause in Season 2, Carrie is left with the brownstone all to herself. Craig Blankenhorn/Max Carrie's new home, which is used for the exterior shots in 'And Just Like That,' is located at 3 Gramercy Park West. A Season 3 promo highlights the property, showcasing Carrie in a photo outside her drop-dead townhouse with the caption, 'Let's hear it for the dress and a new address.' The place was also featured in the 'Coming Soon to Max' trailer, signifying the Gramercy apartment will be a new chapter for Carrie. How much is Carrie's new home worth IRL? 10 The Gramercy property is used for the exterior shots in the show. HBO Advertisement A listing from 2019 shows that the Gramercy property was listed for $4,495,000, and it sold for that price. Mitinas-Kelly compared the 1,700-square-foot apartment to others from the last 12 months in the lovely location and shared that on a purely per-square-foot basis, Carrie's place would be worth roughly $2.4 million. However, there are several reasons why she believes the home would still sell between $4.5 and $5 million today, adding there has been an 'overall uptick in pricing in downtown co-ops since the pandemic,' and Sarkissian agrees. Scroll for the reasons why they say Carrie's apartment is so 'special' that one could argue the value is closer to $5M now. The neighborhood 10 Its location is actually on the park, making it 'one of the most coveted 'private members' clubs in town,' real estate expert Lauren Mitinas-Kelly exclusively tells The Post. Craig Blankenhorn/Max Advertisement Carrie's place is located directly on the park, with Mitinas-Kelly noting that only two of the five comps she reviewed were situated there. 'As we know, being on the park makes the owner one of the chosen few given access to the supreme exclusivity of a key to the park. It's one of the most coveted 'private members' clubs in town,' she exclusively told The Post. To compare, Mitinas-Kelly said the LMK Team at SERHANT recently accepted an offer just shy of $6 million for a condo in a new amenitized building located just two blocks away from Carrie's brownstone. 10 Sarah Jessica Parker at the premiere of 'And Just Like That' Season 3. Getty Images Sarkissian also mentioned the value of the location, telling The Post, 'Homes which are on and near Gramercy Park are precious and rare. The exposure on the show is just underscoring what every New Yorker knows: that everyone aspires to live on Gramercy Park!' 'Gramercy is known for its classic Beaux Arts architecture and its famous occupants yet this quintessential neighborhood is also evolving into the modern era with new construction buildings everywhere,' she continued. 'I think Gramercy is a symbol for the ever-changing and all-enduring appeal of Manhattan. It's the perfect neighborhood for Carrie.' The Building 10 The building was built in 1846, and there are only nine units. HBO Mitinas-Kelly pointed out that Carrie's new apartment is in 'one of the most coveted, boutique, Greek Revival buildings on the Park.' It was built in 1846, and there are only nine units. Advertisement Listing off several unbelievable features like the 11-foot ceilings and wood-burning fireplace to the marble master bath with heated floors and views of Gramercy Park and Calgary St. George's Church, Mitinas-Kelly told The Post, 'This apartment is truly one of a kind and dripping in style. They just don't make this location and buildings/apartments like this anymore.' Sarkissian also gushed over the 'charming details' of Carrie's 'turn-of-the-century' co-op, highlighting the townhouse's 'cast-iron lacework entrance, its parlor floor windows facing Gramercy Park with beautiful verdant views, the private primary suite in the back with its octagonal shape and serene views,' which she called 'all dreamy!' But there are downsides 10 However, Mitinas-Kelly said there is a downside to owning a co-op on Gramercy. Craig Blankenhorn/Max While Carrie will thrive in her new home, Mitinas-Kelly shared that owning a co-op on Gramercy 'really limits your buyer pool,' adding that for the high price, 'it's not full service.' The building doesn't have a doorman, doesn't allow pied a terres (which also restricts foreign purchasers) or subletting, many features that any New Yorker would expect with a multi-million dollar price point. Advertisement 'Also, the financial review and interview process is very rigorous,' she explained about the buying process, 'and so few buyers will be 'welcome' to the building' — however, she does believe it suits Carrie just right. Sarkissian noted that 'maintenance in NYC includes HOA and real estate taxes,' adding that while the building's fees 'are reasonable,' one 'always needs to consider the capital improvements potentially ahead in a building of this age'— but she, too, thinks it's the 'perfect' location for Carrie. Why it's a flawless fit for Carrie 10 But she believes the property is the perfect place for 'a well-heeled, professional, true New York woman' like Carrie. Craig Blankenhorn/Max 'It's actually the perfect fit and choice for a well-heeled, professional, true New York woman such as Carrie Bradshaw!' Mitinas-Kelly shared with The Post. 'She even has space for her very own, huge walk-in closet and vanity!' Advertisement 'It goes to show that the market is what someone is willing to pay for it,' she added, 'and this apartment is a unicorn for so many reasons.' Sarkissian shared that the area 'fits the evolution of Carrie's character and her lifestyle in NYC through the years, especially in this new act.' How to watch 'And Just Like That' 10 Season 3 of 'And Just Like That' premieres on Max starting Thursday, May 29 at 9 p.m. ET. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement See Carrie and the gang, along with several new faces, on Season 3 of 'And Just Like That,' which premieres on Max at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 29, 2025.

Andy Cohen has found a buyer for his lavish NYC home — a massive duplex he spent decades piecing together
The king of Bravo is finally trading indoor glam for outdoor green. Andy Cohen, the Emmy-winning TV personality and producer of 'Top Chef' and 'Watch What Happens Live,' has found a buyer for his sprawling West Village duplex after eight months on the market. The 3,500-square-foot Manhattan residence — pieced together over 21 years by combining multiple units — was listed for $14 million in September 2024 before undergoing a $2 million price cut in February. 11 Bravo star Andy Cohen has officially found a buyer for his uniquely customized West Village condo, eight months after it hit the market. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 Originally listed in September 2024 for $14 million, the three-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom duplex was reduced by $2 million before going under contract. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images It officially went under contract on May 19, according to real estate broker and longtime friend Ryan Serhant, who shared the news via Instagram. The final price to be paid, as well as the new owner, are not yet known. Serhant, who's now the star of 'Owning Manhattan' on Netflix, first made his name in real estate reality television on Bravo's 'Million Dollar Listing New York,' which premiered in 2012. 'Congrats @bravoandy,' Serhant wrote. 'Thanks for trusting me and @serhant with your home.' Serhant had been eyeing Cohen's unit for years, according to previous reports. 11 Andy Cohen and Ryan Serhant have long been friends. NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images 11 Over 21 years, Cohen combined four separate units — and later two additional studios — into a 3,500-square-foot dream home. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 'The first time I ever walked into Andy's apartment, I said, 'Whenever you are willing to part with this, even if I have to pull it from your grip, please let me know. Because it's a one of one,'' he told the New York Times. 'It's one of those treasures that you wait your whole career for.' When reached for comment by The Post, Serhant could not elaborate on the deal. The apartment reflects a layered, theatrical sensibility befitting its owner. It is currently composed of three bedrooms, with the potential for 4 to 5 bedrooms, and boasts 4.5 bathrooms. 11 Serhant, who had long coveted the listing, called the property a 'one of one' and a career highlight. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 The home boasts woodburning fireplaces, a steam room, sweeping views of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings — and standout design touches like a walnut, steel and glass staircase. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images With architecture by Gordon Kahn, the custom residence includes a show-stopping walnut, steel and glass staircase; cobalt blue kitchen cabinetry; and panoramic views of both the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings. The unit features a mix of saturated color palettes, from lacquer-red powder rooms to a royal purple rug in the primary suite. Among its many rarities: multiple woodburning fireplaces, a steam room, three storage units, and a primary bath with a teak soaking tub and a marble vanity. The main bedroom also boasts its own fireplace. 11 The handsome kitchen. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 A wet bar. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images Still, even dream apartments have limits. Cohen, who had long pined for an open-air escape, decided to move after finding another West Village home that finally checked the box: outdoor space. 'Outdoor space was the decision! I always have coveted outdoor space,' Cohen, who hails from Missouri, told People. 'There is a dearth of inventory in the West Village with outdoor space, so when I found something that was meaningful enough for me to leave my dream apartment … that's what it took.' Cohen's new home reportedly cost $18 million and comes with a 2,000-square-foot terrace in addition to 3,000 square feet of interior space. When he's not there, he's constantly found walking around the West Village — and has been a common sight on the streets there for years. 11 The Emmy-winning producer and talk show host said he made the emotional decision to sell in pursuit of outdoor space, which he found in a nearby $18 million West Village apartment boasting a 2,000-square-foot terrace.

Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images The sale marks the end of an era for the Bravo figurehead, whose West Village abode served as a longtime personal and professional refuge. Outside of real estate, Cohen continues to juggle a packed schedule. In addition to his SiriusXM channels and hosting duties, he's currently touring the country with CNN anchor, and longtime friend, Anderson Cooper in their live conversation series, 'AC2: An Intimate Evening with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen.' As Serhant sees it, parting with the home wasn't just a sale — it was a moment. 'It's one of those treasures that you wait your whole career for, to find something like this that you get to bring to market and sell,' he said.

Sixers guard Jared Butler learning the luxury real estate ropes from Serhant
By submitting your information you are agreeing to our Privacy Policy and User Agreement . On the second day of his internship, Jared Butler ended up helping Serhant host an open house for Sixers teammate Joel Embiid's penthouse. On a windy day in Old City last week, Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared Butler stopped to study an open house sign outside a luxury condo building before heading up to the penthouse. Butler, who joined the Sixers in a trade deadline deal with the Washington Wizards in February, wasn't looking for a new place but rather a future career. When he's not on the basketball court, Butler is often watching real estate shows like "Fixer Upper" on HGTV and the Netflix series "Owning Manhattan" featuring high-profile New York broker Ryan Serhant. After Butler arrived Philadelphia and began to search for an apartment, he found out the agent he was using worked for Serhant's brokerage. The two-time college All-America selection said he was "starstruck." After finding a place to rent in Fishtown, Butler kept in touch with Andrea Desy Edrei, Serhant Pennsylvania's operating partner and herself a former college basketball player at New York University. GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Find Local Events Near You Connect with a community of local professionals. Explore All Events Butler, 24, said Edrei "took me under her wing," introducing him to new people in the real estate industry and showing him around the city. That friendship — and Butler's interest in real estate — yielded an offer for him to join Serhant this offseason as an intern. Two days after the Sixers played their last game on April 13, Butler started his new side gig. "I think the best time to look for another job is while you have a job," said the Baylor University alum, who recently signed a two-year contract with the Sixers after being traded from the Washington Wizards. While a full-time real estate career will have wait until his playing days are over, Butler said he feels getting his feet wet in the industry while still playing sets him up for life after basketball. "I'm a person, I play basketball and you can only play basketball for so long," Butler said. "This is something that I like to do, something that's really fun for me." Serhant often works with professional athletes to place them and sell their properties, but Butler said he wouldn't want to focus his career strictly on fellow athletes even though he has plenty of experience with their plight. Now playing for his fourth team in four years in the NBA, Butler knows all too well how difficult it can be to move to a different city and adjust to a new culture, new teammates and new living options. "I think it would be a full-circle moment, selling a house to an athlete that's gotten traded or moved to a new city," said Butler, a native of Louisiana. In the short-term, the internship will help Butler get acclimated to Philadelphia. On his second day, he was shuffled between open houses and Serhant's Old City office, ultimately ending up at an open house for teammate Joel Embiid's penthouse that is on the market for $3.9 million. He's jumping right into the spring housing market, traditionally the busiest and most lucrative time of the year for real estate agents. Butler sees the internship as an opportunity to peel back the curtain on an industry he's only seen on TV. "I hope to learn, honestly, just to get a feel for it, almost like visiting a practice or organization and seeing how things are run," he said.
