Inside Carrie Bradshaw’s Gramercy Apartment: Price Tag Unveiled
No-nonsense breakdown: Carrie Bradshaw’s Gramercy apartment in And Just Like That would cost a cool $4.8 million in today’s Manhattan market, according to a joint analysis by StreetEasy and Douglas Elliman. The show’s creative team dressed a fictional loft—complete with exposed brick walls and sweeping skyline views—to represent the luxury building at 32 Fifth Avenue. While the series never names real addresses, real-estate pros matched its features to local listings.
A closer look at comps reveals the going rate in Gramercy hovers between $2,000 and $2,300 per square foot. With the set design hinting at roughly 2,200 square feet of living space, StreetEasy places the asking price near $4.8 million. Douglas Elliman appraiser Sarah Miller confirms that a step-and-repeat of similar two-to-three-bedroom units in the same landmark co-op building recently topped out at $5.1 million (The Real Deal). Bloomberg’s property index tracks a 7 percent uptick year-over-year in the neighborhood, suggesting Carrie’s fictional flat has appreciated since filming began last fall.
Tax and maintenance fees add another layer to the tally. Co-op owners in Gramercy typically pay monthly carrying charges around $3.50 per square foot, meaning Carrie would shell out more than $7,000 each month in upkeep alone (Curbed NYC). Annual property taxes—usually wrapped into those fees—average $20 per $1,000 of assessed value, which puts her yearly contribution in the five-figure range.
Interior upgrades and designer touches for Carrie’s space also factor in. Production notes reveal custom millwork, premium hardwood flooring, and a curated art collection were sourced through a partnership with Gemini Decorating Studios, bringing build-out costs close to $250,000. That investment ensures the set’s authenticity but means few buyers can replicate it without major outlay.
For context, Zillow reports that the median sale price for a Gramercy apartment is $3.9 million. That figure rises above $4.5 million for high-floor, light-filled units—just like Carrie’s. Industry watchers at The Real Deal suggest condos trade at a premium over co-ops, so if her flat were deeded, the price could easily eclipse $5 million.
Packed with girlish charm and midtown chic, Carrie Bradshaw’s new pad stands as a real-life illustration of Manhattan’s fierce real-estate economy. What does this say about affordability in prime neighborhoods? Only time—and future episodes—will tell. And there you have it. Make of that what you will.
