Carrie’s gorgeous apartment is the 15th most expensive of all the TV houses. It’s worth just over £700,000. The address was supposedly 245 East 73rd Street, but the townhouse that stood in for the home of Carrie’s fictional home is in the West Village. For the first three seasons apartment scenes were shot at 64 Perry Street before moving over to number 66 next door.

Unfortunately it’s been blurred on Street View, but you can still get a rough idea from the street of what it looks like in real life.

14. Bottom – £874,189
