If “Sex and the City” character Carrie Bradshaw still lived in her one bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side, it would have cost a little more than it was when she lived there.
The fashionista writer reportedly paid only $ 700 a month for the apartment she rented at 245 E. 73rd. The problem? It doesn’t really exist. The last door on the block, close to Second Avenue, is number 243.
Most of the photos seen on the hit show were actually filmed in the West Village, at the entrance to Perry 66
But if you wanted to buy a one-bedroom and a bathroom apartment in the Upper East Side today, you would have to shell out at least $ 3,000 a month, according to John Walkup, co-founder of real estate data analysis firm UrbanDigs. Since there is no doorman or elevator and it is in a pre-war house, the average price would be considered a little cheaper than other options in the Tony neighborhood.
“To buy the apartment: based on recent sales after the reopening, it would cost between $ 550- $ 600K,” explained Walkup. “To rent the apartment: it would cost between $ 3,000 and $ 3,500 a month.”
On the other hand, if you were looking for a place in the trendy West Village, Walkup says that a place like the one shot at the show would cost more than $ 880,000 to own and, on average, about $ 4,100 to rent.
As fans of the show know, a reboot entitled “And Just Like That …” is in progress, scheduled to air on HBO Max. Only this time, the series will be without the esteemed Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall .
Cattrall, 64, has spoken openly about her decision to step away from the franchise forever after the last film – “Sex and the City 2” – which debuted 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.
