If ‘Sex and the City’ Carrie Bradshaw were still living in her one-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side, it would cost a little more than it was worth when she first lived there.
The fashionista writer reportedly paid just $ 700 a month for the apartment she rented at 245 E. 73rd. The problem? It doesn’t really exist. The last door of the block, off Second Avenue, is No. 243.
Most of the shots featured on the hit show were actually filmed in the West Village, on the sidewalk of 66 Perry St.
But if you want to score a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment in the Upper East Side neighborhood today, you should be coughing up at least $ 3,000 a month, according to John Walkup, co-founder of a real estate data analysis company. UrbanDigs. Since there is no doorman, no elevator, and it is located in a pre-war mansion, the average price would be considered slightly cheaper than other options in the Tony neighborhood.
“To buy the apartment: Based on recent post-reopening sales, it would cost between $ 550 and $ 600,000,” Walkup explains. “To rent the apartment: It would cost between $ 3,000 and $ 3.5K a month.”
On the other hand, if you were keeping an eye on a spot in the trendy West Village, Walkup says a place like the one filmed in the show would cost over $ 880,000 to own, and on average about $ 4,100 to rent .
As fans of the show know, a reboot titled “And Just Like That…” is underway and will air on HBO Max. Only this time, the series will be without the esteemed Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall.
Cattrall, 64, has spoken out on her decision to leave the franchise for good after the latest movie – “Sex and the City 2” – which premiered more than a decade ago.
Sarah Jessica Parker, 55, Kristin Davis, 55, and Cynthia Nixon, 54, are ready to reprise their roles as Carrie, Charlotte York Goldenblatt and Miranda Hobbes.
