Manhattan Penthouses are so high up that most of the sounds of the city streets do not reach their balconies. What sound does reach that high up are completely deadened by very good insulation and often double-glazed windows. The lack of nature's sounds is common in all large cities. Be well :)

[@CraigShifflet]

I think he said this building is 1400 feet tall. One World Trade Center is 1776 feet. The thing is, anyone who spends $54M on an apartment, this isn't their only place. They have a few 8 digit houses in other places around the globe. If you have a billion in the bank, this is 5% of that.

Decades ago I was in both, what were called at the time, The Sears Tower and The John Hancock Center.The Sears Tower, renamed The Willis Tower, is 110 stories (1,729 feet tall) and The John Hancock Center is 100 stories (1,128-feet tall). I've been fairly high up on both on windy days and you definitely felt motion. ------ "Most skyscrapers can easily move several feet in either direction, like a swaying tree, without damaging their structural integrity. The main problem with this horizontal movement is how it affects the people inside. If the building moves a substantial horizontal distance, the occupants will definitely feel it."

[@billbusby3180]

I would buy a mountain with a river running through it with square miles of land. In the middle of it I would build a big, big cabin.

[@sacredsiren]

Yes, there is a billionaires row in Manhattan. Honestly, most people who can afford a place like this don't have just one home, so they can have apartments in cities, cabins in mountains, beach houses, etc... they don't have to choose. When looking at real estate like this you do have to factor in the location though, because it is part of the experience of living in the apartment. So many people who live in NYC do not spend a ton of time in their apartments, because there is so much to do all the time. That experience of living right in the heart of the city with central park outside your doorstep is part of what makes these homes so valuable. That plane on the dock is part of the USS Intrepid museum, which is a retired aircraft carrier from WWII. You can go on and tour the ship along with a bunch of planes, a space shuttle and more. I remember going as a kid but they have added so much more since then. It is a fixture along the west side highway in Manhattan.

[@alanbaum6690]

The people who own apartments like this usually have other homes around the world. And yes that stretch of central park south is referred to as billionaires row. There are apartments on that streer costing much more

[@MoreAdamCouser]

This is the most expensive apartment in New York, or maybe it used to be?

[@Jerseybytes2]

@@MoreAdamCouser not by far. I did a quick search. one penthouse is selling for 250 million. I'd also mention how crazy high the maintenance fees (HOA) and property taxes must be. but I guess if you can afford to pay 250 million for a condo, hoa and property taxes are just a couple of drops of water. also, I heard that half the condos in billionaires row are actually empty and they're property investments here's something you may find interesting when it comes to property taxes not just in NYC but suburbs as well. the house you bought around 1970 for 20 or 25k now goes for about half a million or more. and you probably end up paying as much in property taxes a year as you did for the house itself. and this is your average house with a yard the size of a stamp. not a mansion with a huge yard.property taxes on a 2 million dollar house can choke a pig
