Notable NYC Neighbors

JANUARY 9, 2013

The Queen of Soul Cycle moves uptown; Meg Ryan heads back to the UES; New deco condos at Walker Tower bring boldface names and big-ticket buyers.

Former Upper East Sider Meg Ryan, who had been renting at 40 Mercer in SoHo–and has been spending time in Indiana with boyfriend John Mellencamp–is looking at Upper East Side homes near her former home at 1136 Fifth Avenue, including a 3,300-square-foot apartment at 907 Fifth Avenue currently listed for $7.2 million (NYPost).

Soul Cycle spinning gym franchise co-founder Julie Rice and husband Spencer just bought an apartment at 310 West End Avenue for $3.8 million; the couple’s duplex loft at 130 Jane Street in the West Village is on the market for $2.3 million (NYO).

TV journalist Harry Smith just moved into to an apartment at Williamsburg waterfront game-changer the Edge at 22 North 6th Street. The NBC contributor and former Early Show host moved on up from the Upper West Side to a 1,795-square-foot, two-bedroom, glass-walled penthouse that he purchased for $1.837 million (CurbedNY).

Chelsea’s buzzy Walker Tower at 212 West 18th Street has seen a steady stream of celebrity lookers. Visitors to the many new apartments currently on the market at the 1929 Art Deco condo conversion have included Cameron Diaz, Blake Lively and Ryan Seacrest, among others. One buyer paid $34 million for a combo of two apartments in 2012, making it one of the year’s biggest sales (NYDN).
