THE KITCHEN WHERE OBAMA ATE FOOD!!!! Photo via citi-habitats.com
In need of summer housing? Re-thinking that Schapiro walk-through? Rent Obama’s former apartment on 109th between Amsterdam and Columbus. Yessiree: Apartment 3E in 142 West 109th Street is available, and will cost you $1,900 a month, a pretty steep increase from our Commander in Chief’s 1981 rent: $360. Gentrification is a thing!
As David Remnick reported (and told Bwog!) in his recent Obama biography, The Bridge: “the apartment’s charms included spotty heat, irregular hot water, and a railroad-flat layout. They adjusted, using the showers at the Columbia gym and camping out for long hours in Butler library.” Citi-Habitats, which has the listing, describes the apartment a little differently: “PRESIDENT OBAMA LIVED HERE AND YOU CAN TOO !!!Central Park ! Yes just few steps from central Park is this great two bedrooms for only $1900. The unit features hardwood floors,exposed brick, nice bathroom, high ceilings, big windows.”
Peruse pictures and video of the apartment, and call Dalila Bella, the luckiest broker in Manhattan this week, for a tour.

@barnyard obama must have gone to barnard since that school has all the intelligent, successful graduates
@Anonymous He’s a secret Muslim and a secret woman.
@I'm a... …secret lovvvvveeerrrrrrr.
@Anonymous Obama sucks no wonder he’s driving this country into debt with welfare and unemployment and socialized medicine spending…Just look where he lived
@um “driving this country into debt”? where did you think we were for the 8 years before him, surplus land?
if you are joking, however, i apologize.
@me -21!
haha no one likes you
@Anonymous guess he’ll go eat worms.
@Rethink That Schapiro Walk-Through Double if it is the one on the West side of the Elevator! The one on the East side is really nice though!
@Anonymous Since when is W 109 “a few steps” from Central Park?
@Anonymous um when it’s at Manhattan Ave. One block west of Central Park.
@but one block is definitely more than “a few steps”
@Uhh you’ll notice it says “between Amsterdam and Columbus.” Last time I checked, that means it’s NOT a block closer to the park on Manhattan. Doncha know?
@The Audacity of Soap. Obama showered at the gym.
