Chelsea Clinton’s Former Flatiron Condo Already Has a Buyer

[PoliticAverse]

Maybe it was Hilary Clinton clinching the nomination that finally did it for the buyers, but just 18 days after the NoMad condo where Chelsea Clinton once resided with her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, hit the market, it’s already in contract.

The three-bedroom, 2.5-bath abode is on the tenth floor of 225 Fifth Avenue, and served as the residence of Clinton and Mezvinsky shortly after they married. The couple subsequently decided to upgrade their digs, and headed a few blocks away to the Whitman, where they purchased a larger, $10.5 million apartment that they still reside in.

1. In 2008 I upgraded from my $600/month+ util, 4 room apartment (5 if you count the bathroom),

to a $95,000 "townhouse." It is cheapest and oldest group of townhouses in town and the only place in town I could afford. Built in 1985. My sister helped with the down payment. Mortgage was about $525/mo, HOA $130. Util. ave-- $150. etc..

I know there are many here for whom even THAT is a huge stretch, or impossible, so I feel lucky.

But, it is still the stunning difference in scale!

4. What does it cost per month?

And to think I thought my friend's place (which I used to call 'the prison cell - complete with a locked
gate covering the windows) was bad.
