A NYT article about Manhattan real-estate "bargains" notes the following:
"Right now, there is a 1,600-square-foot first floor maisonette for sale in one of Manhattan's fanciest buildings at 131 East 66th — Blaine and Robert Trump own an apartment here, shoulder-to-shoulder with a tenant roster right out of the Social Register. The apartment is $875,000. Incredible? Impossible?"
The idea being, for those unfamiliar with NYC real estate, that this is shockingly low.
Also for those not "in the know"--Blaine Trump is not Donald's drag persona but is in fact a socialite. Proximity to socialites raises the price of an apartment, but also lowers its hipster quotient, thus explaining why the Upper East Side, home to many a socialite, is not always the most expensive part of town.
