you ever wonder what it's like to live in 432 park avenue right here on billionaires road well in
this video i'm going to show you what it's like to go from the streets up into one of the most
expensive buildings in america love it or hate it 432 park avenue built in 2015 has forever changed
the skyline of new york city and is one of the most talked about and controversial buildings in
the neighborhood known as billionaires row where nearly half the apartments sit empty 432 park ave
is home to the most expensive luxury real estate listing in america currently on the market for
169 million dollars and a few floors down below that penthouse another unit here in 432 park ave
is on the market for 135 million dollars now i actually filmed a full in-depth tour of
that space last year so go take a look at that video for some perspective but i'm wondering
what does an apartment for the average billionaire look like in this building now that word average
is relative because there is nothing average about living on billionaires row but with the
median rent in manhattan for the first time in history crossing over five thousand dollars per
month to rent an apartment that means you now need to make at least two hundred thousand dollars per
year to even qualify to live on the island of manhattan which is it's a pretty sad fact
which i'll cover in another video so make sure to subscribe to the channel to see future episodes
but in this week's episode i'm going to show you what it's like to live here at 432 park avenue
so we're at the base of the building i'm going to try to film as much as i can but security
here is pretty intense so there's a courtyard actually right off of the main street here with
a ton of security so i'm actually going to put the phone down now and head on up to the 50th floor so
this is a unit here on the 50th floor welcome to 50a this is a two-bedroom two-bathroom just
under 1800 square foot unit that is on the market for just under 10 million dollars check it out
right off the hallway we have your great room which is the living room dining room and kitchen
combo first let's head back down this hallway to the first guest bedroom the thing i love the most
are the ceilings these are 12 and a half foot high ceilings giving you that kind of grand feeling
so for some perspective front door right out the front door this is the first guest bedroom all of
them have ensuite bathrooms which we'll check out in a second but 432 park avenue is known for these
iconic 10 foot by 10 foot windows and a lot of questions people kind of say about this building
is you know you can't open up the windows but you actually can right below on this little bench
windows open up so you can have i mean this is a pretty strong breeze in here we are 50 floors up
shut that right there and this is uh you know your basic bedroom queen size bed we have a little
office set up here with the floating shelves and then if we do a little spin here you have your
ensuite bathroom with marble everywhere floating vanity full-length mirror on the back wall here
and your standing shower tub combo so leaving this first bedroom back out into the hallway we have
our cool little buddha statue there and then this is the kind of utility area we have three closets
this one if you can get a peek in here this one is your washer dryer in apartment unit which is nice
and then these two right here are storage pantry and closet so we'll head back into the i guess
you could call it the great room and just kind of break some things down we have this floating
wall towards the back here with the recessed led lighting the main attraction in this building of
course the views just to show that perspective 10 foot by 10 foot windows they really are 10 foot
by 10 foot i know it's sometimes hard to tell but here you have used the north central park i mean
this time of the year it's just such a vibrant green color you have the upper west side upper
east side and then off to the east here you see long island and queens so the views i mean that's
what it's all about here off of your living area we have your dining room this nice round table
seating for six again two more of those ten foot by ten foot windows here the views to the east you
can see the queens row bridge queens long island you can even see the ocean on a pretty clear day
now even if you are a billionaire living here you'll still have your fair share of issues

just the light as well especially we're here in the morning it's like 8 45 you get all that
sunlight from the east right off of the dining room this is your chef's kitchen so you have
this beautiful marble you have the instinctuator deep set sink with the stainless steel for the
cabinets this is white lacquer cabinets nice and kind of concealed i like how just clean it looks
then you have your six burner melee cooktop melee suite of appliances here the kitchen oven and you
even have the warming drawer down below and then you have your refrigerator freezer combo here
never been used before brand new melee suite of appliances super sleek and then i do like this you
have your floating breakfast bar with your view to the east get that natural sunlight here in the
morning also that's another a real estate term that everyone says is natural sunlight have you
ever heard of sunlight that isn't natural comment down below it's one of those weird things but
everyone says it i'm gonna stop saying it we're gonna make our way now to the primary bedroom here
in this apartment of 432 park avenue so you have a door closing off the owner's wing from the rest
of the space and then you have the owner's ensuite bathroom which is just wow in marble
this is all book match marble on the floors on the walls not on the ceilings but it just gives
for a nice elevated feeling you have the soaking tub here cool chandelier overhead uh his and hers
vanity with the full length mirror right off of the tub you have your steam shower of course the
thrown off into the corner here and all in all just a very elevated luxurious feeling here in
the bathroom and then the moment everyone's been waiting for you have the primary bedroom suite
with that 10 foot by 10 foot window with a prime view of central park in the distance just a lush
tree you can even see the reservoir off in the distance and yeah king-sized bed pretty minimal
in here and then your closet space along the wall where you could put a tv that could drop down from
the ceiling or something like that now the space itself you know it's it's very impressive and it's
a very livable space but one of the main reasons why you would buy here at 432 park avenue is for
the park off in the distance it's for the neighborhood so with that let's head on down
to the park now central park is massive it was established in 1857. my pro tip is to drop a pin
on google maps at locations in the park that you want to revisit just because it is so massive and
it's easy to get lost this is definitely one of the more romantic things to do in the city now you
can rent the boats from 10 a.m until about sundown but my biggest piece of advice is get here early
as the day goes on this place gets packed it's a cash only operation it costs 15 per hour with a 20
cash deposit you can hear some soft jazz off in the distance beautiful summer day this is one of
my favorite things to do that i actually don't do enough there is nothing more unique than being in
the middle of the city on a lake with no people around i mean just look at this view come here to
decompress to de-stress from the hectic hustle and bustle of midtown enjoy some fresh air surrounded
by nature and of course hear some incredible live jazz music another iconic feature of central park
is sheep's meadow now sheep's meadow is a 15 acre field located in the southwestern section
of central park it's a sea of green amid all the concrete and the glass and steel of the city
and it's the perfect place to spend a hot summer day the lawn is open from april till mid-october
from dawn to dusk in fair weather the meadow was originally designed as a parade ground and
it was once a potential location for military usage which was strongly opposed so instead
it was converted into an actual pasture with sheep until 1934 along with central park living right on
billionaires row offers you access to some of the finest dining in the world and of course
shopping on the world famous fifth ave now comment down below and let me know what are your thoughts
on this apartment and the current state of real estate here in new york city i'm so curious to
know what you think of this crazy market and with that i will see you in the next episode
