It’s quite cramped, but, hey, what matters is location, location, location.

And Instagram is not happy.

The prominent feature has a stinky past.

“I’m basically living in an RV or van without wheels.”

The price tag is as massive as the views.

Talk about bang for your buck.

If on the off chance you have $250,000,000 in your back pocket and are looking to purchase a record-breaking apartment in New York City’s Billionaire Row, then you’re in luck. The penthouse triplex, which spans floors 129 and 131, in NYC’s Central Park Tower is about to hit the market.

“He had impeccable taste and a keen sense of design which is reflected in the apartment's renovation."

He and wife Alexi have already bought a bigger place.

Everybody knows the rent is stupid high in San Francisco, New York City, and Boston — it’s one of those sad running jokes, an absurdity that’s nonetheless become an accepted fact of life at this point. But a new study by London real-estate startup Nested shows that America’s most notoriously expensive rental markets are now the priciest in the whole world.

The property went viral on Twitter recently when user @angelicaalzona posted about the listing, showing a shower smack dab in the middle of the kitchen, right between the sink and the fridge.

Of course, Twitter has jokes.

If your sense of nostalgia has you thinking you could afford a stunning property like that even 60 years ago, guess again.

A palatial residence belonging to an entertainment legend recently hit the market. The Fifth Avenue penthouse belonging to Bette Midler is now up for sale, and much like its owner, the home’s asking price commands center stage.  Listed at $50 million with Brown Harris Stevens, the 7,000-square-foot dwelling atop the Emery Roth-designed building has been home for the performer and her family for the past 20 years.

Taylor Swift has embraced the New York state of mind so completely, and so broadly through real estate investments, that some pop culture writers have started referring to her downtown Manhattan ‘hood as “Taybeca.” Now, the New York Post reports that Swift has mic-dropped a whopping $18 million for a townhouse at 153 Franklin Street in Tribeca (with a somewhat shady past) in an off-market deal.

The first glance of Heidi Klum’s new “no-frills fixer-upper” penthouse in SoHo has us channeling her Project Runway costar Tim Gunn and chanting: “Make it work!” The supermodel turned entrepreneur and TV producer recently bought the nearly 5,000 square foot loft at 515 Broadway in March for about $5 million, according to The Real Deal.

Want to live like Mrs. Maisel? Then we have good news: an apartment in The Strathmore, the Upper West Side building where the show is set, is on the market. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was a breakout hit show last year, winning two Golden Globes in January (for Best Musical or Comedy TV Series and Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series). And as lovers of space and design, we watched for the marvelous mid-century interiors as much as the brilliant acting and storytelling.

At $15.5 million, the townhouse that actors Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany just purchased on Brooklyn Heights is believed to be one of the most expensive transactions ever closed in the New York City borough.

Meryl Streep’s home, like Meryl Streep, could be or do anything. It could be a designed in the Grecian bohemian styled laid back vibe like her persona in Mamma Mia, all the way to the more proper and posh digs of her character in Florence Foster Jenkins. In actuality, the Tribeca home—a penthouse in the River Lofts at 92 Laight Street—is somewhere in between, and it’s been listed for a whopping $24.6 million.

With the release on Team Coco of 25 years of show clips, we took a look back into some of our favorite bits from Conan O’Brien’s past. One of our favorites is this one, where Conan goes alongside show writer Andy Blitz (you may remember him as one-third of the Slipnutz, the group of guys that slipped on nuts). It’s a funny look at how apartment hunting in cities is generally a painful experience…and how much prices have changed in New York.

New York City is filled with mystery. Around every corner and down narrow streets are unexpected twists and secrets waiting to be discovered. One secret lives in and around the clapboard home at 17 Grove St, a one-of-a-kind West Village property that popped on the real estate market this month.The two-building residence commands a lofty asking price of $12 million, but it has the intriguing history and square footage to back it up, according to Streeteasy.

Got a spare $11.25 million hanging around? Then you can officially hang your hat where Barbra did. Well, if you can get by the co-op board first. Barbra Streisand’s former 3,672-square-foot home on Central Park West has officially hit the market, and the 9-room penthouse is the picture of Manhattan luxury. It’s no wonder that Babs lived here for over 30 years. Designed by the famed architect Emory Roth, the art deco Ardsley building has a prime location on Central Park West.
