“In New York, they say, you’re always looking for a job, a boyfriend or an apartment.” If you’ve ever looked for an apartment to rent in New York City, it’s likely that at some point you couldn’t help but wonder, “where is the closet space?” Known for smaller square footage, NYC apartments don’t tend to lend themselves to extra storage and closet space, so when you do find one, it’s a match made in fashionista heaven. 

While the actual filming location of Carrie’s iconic apartment was in the West Village, the show placed her fictional apartment on the Upper East Side. We’ve all fantasized about living in Carrie’s fabulous space, so we’ve identified 5 New York City apartment listings in the UES neighborhood featuring walk-in closets. You’ll never have to store your sweaters in your oven when you have an apartment that’s ideal for you to live out your own Carrie Bradshaw aesthetic.
