Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are essentially NYC royalty. The pair met through the New York theater scene in 1991 and wed in 1997—who can forget her iconic black Morgane Le Fay wedding dress—so their story is undeniably intertwined with the city’s. Parker continues to be heralded as an NYC style icon nearly two decades after Sex and the City ended in 2004, and she is currently reprising her role as Carrie Bradshaw in And Just Like That… on Max. Broderick, meanwhile, has won multiple Tony Awards and is still active in the theater scene; most recently, he and Parker joined forces to star opposite each other in Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite. “The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door,” Parker has said. “There is no choice. And I love that.” Here, we’ve rounded up some of the pads that the couple have called home over the years, the majority of which are located in New York City.
1990s
The ’90s were a critical time in Parker’s career. In 1991, she saw her star begin to rise with her role in L.A. Story opposite Steve Martin. Sometime during that decade, she purchased a duplex penthouse in Tribeca for an undisclosed amount. The duplex has been extensively renovated since Parker lived there (she reportedly sold it around the time she married Broderick), and it was listed for $5.5 million in late 2022. Details from the recent listing reveal four bedrooms and four bathrooms split across two levels, soaring 10.5-foot ceilings, and a skylight-topped kitchen. There are also a grand total of 26 windows spread all throughout the home for maximum natural light and views of the Empire State Building.
2000
Three years after tying the knot, Parker and Broderick snapped up a townhouse in the West Village for just under $3 million. The home was originally built in 1905 and underwent extensive renovations under the A-listers’ ownership. Parker offered a peek into their longtime residence while filming Vogue’s famed 73 Questions interview series in 2014. The home tour revealed dark hardwood flooring and crown molding throughout, with an eclectic aesthetic that included brightly patterned carpeting on the staircase, green walls in the family room, and a retro Ping-Pong table in the sitting room.
Parker and Broderick raised their three children in the home but eventually put it on the market in 2020, a few years after they’d begun construction on another property in the same neighborhood. After nearly a year on the market, they off-loaded their longtime townhouse for $15 million.
2005
Not all of the couple’s properties are in the city. The pair next snapped up a cozy 1940s three-bedroom, one-bathroom vacation home in Amagansett, Long Island, for $6.6 million. The couple worked with Parker’s longtime friend Eric Hughes to design the perfect country-style cottage, including a blue-and-white primary bath that features statement butterfly artwork, blue glass bottles as decor, and cream-colored paneling. “When we designed the place, our goal was to create the property’s close proximity to the beach,” Parker said in 2022, when she partnered with Booking.com to offer a two-night getaway at the pad. “We wanted the property to truly feel like a home, so we furnished it with vintage pieces we had collected over the years and made the backyard a versatile place where we could enjoy summer sunsets, barbecues, and fun gatherings.” In 2023, the couple once again listed the beach house on the rental market, this time at a rate of $95,000 for an entire summer’s stay.
2011
Parker and Broderick next expanded their real estate portfolio with the purchase of a Greek Revival–style townhouse in Greenwich Village, which they picked up for just shy of $19 million. The four-bedroom home was built in 1846 and measured 6,800 square feet, with many of the historic features, like original marble mantelpieces, crown molding, and hardwood floors, still intact. The couple invested much time and energy to upgrade the townhouse before putting it on the market for $24.99 million in 2012. Despite the addition of a modern kitchen with walnut cabinetry, a wall of built-in bookshelves on the top floor, and an ultramodern deep soaking tub in the primary suite, the home did not sell until 2015, for $18.25 million. This was the most expensive sale of that week for the area, according to city records.
2016
Following the sale of their Greenwich Village property, Parker and Broderick turned their attention toward their next massive project. They purchased a pair of townhomes in the West Village for $34.5 million, with the intention of combining them into a mega mansion measuring 13,900 square feet (about one-third of a football field), with a 2,100-square-foot private garden for them to enjoy with their three children.

Altogether, the renovations and construction were estimated to cost more than $50 million. Shortly after news of their big purchase broke, it was reported that the actors had hired Morris Adjmi Architects to lead the project. The award-winning firm is behind the Samsung building in NYC’s Meatpacking District, the Austin Nichols House, and Thrive Capital’s chic offices. The home is still under construction.
