3 min read- Sarah Jessica Parker, best known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, has owned several properties exclusively in New York.
- Parker’s real estate portfolio includes a Hampton’s house used for family getaways and as a rental with Booking.com.
- Parker and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, share the impressive portfolio, which includes their current home, a West Village “mega-mansion.”
Sex and the City remains one of the most iconic shows set in New York City—and its leading lady is still proudly repping the Big Apple. Sarah Jessica Parker has become something of an unofficial ambassador for NYC. While the series made her character’s West Village stoop at 66 Perry Street legendary, Parker herself also calls the neighborhood’s elegant brownstones and tree-lined streets home.
Here’s a closer look at Parker’s impressive real estate portfolio over the years, both in the city and beyond.
The Prenuptial Tribeca Penthouse
In the 1990s, Parker was on the rise. Fresh off the L.A. Story fame, the budding starlet purchased her first penthouse. Located at 366 Broadway, the Tribeca duplex was her first noteworthy home.
Now modernized and renovated, the two-level unit features four bedrooms, four baths, and a whopping 26 windows in addition to a skylight-crowned kitchen boasting views of the Empire State Building. Parker allegedly sold the penthouse just before tying the knot with her longtime partner, Matthew Broderick, in 1997. The unit hit the market again in 2022, selling for around $5.5 million.
The Charles Street Townhouse
Three years after their vows, Parker and Broderick purchased what would become their family home at 57 Charles Street. Originally built in 1905, little is known about the interior of the three-story townhouse, but it did serve as the couple’s longest-reigning home. With dark hardwood flooring and crown molding adorned walls, the pair paid almost $3 million dollars for the home and stayed at the property for 20 years before selling it for $15 million in 2021.
An Escape From the City
Just like Carrie, when Parker craves retreat from the traffic noise, she seeks out the Hamptons. About a three-hour ride from Manhattan, the three-bed, one-bath cottage in Amagansett, East Hamptons, is surrounded by local farms, sandy shores, and other high-profile homes.
Originally built in the 1940s, Parker and Broderick purchased the home for $6.6 million. The property features a blue and white tiled, ’90s-style kitchen, a brick-faced fireplace, and Parker’s personal touch: butterfly art. The couple lists the getaway fairly regularly with Booking.com. In 2023, they offered fans the opportunity to live like Carrie for the entire summer, for $95,000 (which is the equivalent of roughly 86 pairs of Manolo sandals).
The Infamous Townhouse Closet
If there’s one thing Sarah Jessica Parker is known for, it’s her sense of style. The actress spent almost three decades decked out in designer clothes to portray our favorite sex writer. So, after wrapping the six-season series, Parker preserved, archived, and stored almost all of Carrie’s iconic outfits—and in 2011, she purchased a townhouse to store them. Well, the townhouse purchase may not have been entirely in the name of closet space, but that’s ultimately all it ended up being!
The home features six bedrooms and 10 baths, all of which stood untouched by Parker and her family, who never moved into the Greenwich Village property. The space also boasts two terraces, 12-foot ceilings, and a bi-level private garden. Parker listed the property in 2015, and it sold for around $18 million.
Her Forever Home
After selling the Greenwich townhouse, Parker and Broderick took on their most ambitious project yet, the construction of their West Village mansion. Located on what looks like the latest up-and-coming billionaires’ row, Parker and her husband purchased a pair of adjacent townhouses in 2016 to combine the properties into their very own Manhattan mansion.
The property, which sits on West 11th Street, spans about a third of a football field and has nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a private garden for entertaining. Parker hired Morris Adjmi Architects to work on the reportedly over $50 million project, which is rumored to still be under construction.
