Jennifer Lopez Apartment: ‘American Idol’ Judge Now Chelsea Clinton’s Neighbor After $22M Buy


Jennifer Lopez’s apartment purchase in New York is quite the luxury penthouse from the looks of things. Though there is talk of Lopez signing a deal for a residency in Las Vegas, she’s clearly still got plenty of love for the Big Apple. What’s the scoop?

According to the Daily News, Jennifer Lopez’s apartment will be in the Whitman building. The penthouse has 6,540 square feet of interior space 3,000 square feet of exterior space. Reports indicate that the American Idol judge paid about $22 million for the luxury penthouse.

The Whitman building penthouse of Lopez’s has four bedrooms and six bathrooms. The building contains just four units and spreads across a full block in Manhattan. Lopez will have some very famous neighbors at her new address. Chelsea Clinton, Marc Mezvinsky and their new baby Charlotte live in the building, as does NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon, reports Refinery 29.

The outdoor space takes up two levels and the home has a “smart home system” that allows the owners to control music, lighting and heating via their iPads or iPhones. The penthouse has views of Madison Square Park and naturally there is a private gym there.

Photos of Jennifer Lopez’ apartment showcase plenty of windows and light, white walls and oak floors. The building has private landings and a full-time doorman for the four apartments. Of course there is a high-end kitchen as well.

The American Idol judge had been spotted out in the Chelsea area looking for a new apartment, but it seems this Whitman building unit is what ended up being the new home she couldn’t resist. Despite plunking down some serious cash for the new NYC place, reports are circulating that she may well be spending a lot of time in Las Vegas soon.

TMZ reports that Lopez is in the final stages of signing a deal for a residency at The Axis at Planet Hollywood. This is the same place where Britney Spears has been doing a 2-year run. Reports indicate that J. Lo is being offered $350,000 per show, which is more per show than Spears earns. However, Britney is said to earn more overall in her deal as she’s doing more shows than what Lopez is reportedly signing on to do.

Despite a new apartment in New York and possibly a new residency coming soon in Las Vegas, Lopez is returning for American Idol season 14 alongside Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. Ratings were pretty rocky last season, but the judging team seemed to be a hit with fans and they are back together again.

Clearly this is going to be a very busy year for J. Lo, but it certainly seems that now she’s got a great place to rest and recuperate given the photos and details on Jennifer Lopez’s apartment in Manhattan.
