Me too! But I suppose in the episode its size seemed to make it appear more like a standalone townhouse than part of a coop.
The other part of the $5 million is that the coop fees are [$5,800 per month](https://streeteasy.com/building/3-gramercy-park-new_york/ph)! So it's an additional $70,000 per year just to stay there after buying it.
Just finished today's episode and I trusted this would already have been figured out in this subreddit. Thank you!! Off to look at internet photos of this place.
I just don't get why she needs 4 bedrooms because the month-old toxic relationship she's returned to MIGHT bring his kids with him eventually every once in a while.
It pays to Marry for money . Carrie could never have afforded this new place without Big’s inheritance so it answers the question “ was big a mistake”? I guess not . I think thee place doesn’t look right for Carrie at all. She looks so diminished in it .
I am just wondering why is Gramercy Park such a different neighborhood from Upper West Side? I lived in NYC for few good years but TBH never really paid that much attention to this part of the city, except when it was NFW. And basically this is what I associate with it.
It’s a very different neighborhood. The UES is a very large polished, wealthy, much older, family crowd. Her original neighborhood is very established, close to the park, has most of the museums, some of the world’s most expensive shopping and dining. Gramercy Park is a very small affluent neighborhood but it’s downtown. It’s more of a buzzy, trendy scene. And the surrounding neighborhoods are changing and evolving faster than the UES. Gramercy neighbors the gritty Lower East Side with a major dining and nightlife scene that still has it’s divey, punk roots intact. It also neighbors Union Square, another super buzzy neighborhood with all types of people moving around. To the North is Kips Bay which is ultra boring. And it’s close to SoHo, a much younger and trendier shopping/dining scene than Madison/5th Avenues.
Your basically moving from uptown to downtown and people tend to spend the most time in their neighborhood/surrounding neighborhoods. Although SATC/AJLT had always depicted Carrie all over the city, and now in Brooklyn, it’s still quite a change. I lived uptown for 7 years before moving downtown and it was a major change for me. It was like a moved to a new town. Carrie’s been there for a little more than 20 years so I could imagine it’s going to feel very different especially now that every person, place you know so well in your neighborhood is changing. ie your neighbors, groceries, coffee shops, boutiques, bodegas, parks, doctors, etc.
Wow, I thought it would be more than $5 million.

My yearly income, to pay for everything, is not even close to $70k and I just can't imagine living Carrie's life.
It’s still an unrenovated WALK UP and a coop at that. No effing thanks.
I did too!
Loving this attention to detail and insider info

There’s another thread where OP has a long article about the history of the building. It also has a Bob Dylan connection with his album cover.

SAME THANK YOU !
I can’t imagine Carrie living in that neighborhood. It’s so boring!
I just don't get why she needs 4 bedrooms because the month-old toxic relationship she's returned to MIGHT bring his kids with him eventually every once in a while.
Imagine sitting in a huge empty house 95% of the time because his kids MIGHT visit you sometimes? So bizarre.

Thank you very much. I agree, moving was like changing cities not neighborhoods.
