What’s better than the Knicks in the playoffs? Watching them dominate from Carmelo Anthony’s actual former New York City home. The legendary baller’s old pad is up for rent, just in time to live like Melo while the city’s in full playoff fever. Big views, big vibes and even bigger Knicks energy.
Of course, you’ll need to actually be a baller in order to afford the rent on this Fifth Avenue home, with five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths and high-end everything.
The residence, which sits at 1212 5th Avenue (#15N, to be more exact), is currently listed by Ruthie & Ethan Assouline of The Assouline Team at Douglas Elliman for $43k a month.
Thanks to its placement on a high floor, the home has panoramic views of Central Park and a private elevator to take you right to the 4,022-square-foot space.
Naturally the kitchen has all of the bells and whistles you’d expect from the home of a former NBA player. There’s Italian custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops and Miele and Bertazzoni appliances. You could really up your weeknight dinner game here. Frozen pizza? I think not!

What’s especially luxe about living here is the 24-hour concierge. That’s right, you’ve got someone at the front desk around the clock, a building manager who actually lives on-site and plenty of space to work out, relax or let the kids burn off energy in amenity spaces. There’s even a place to stash your bike and park your car.
The building only has 55 residences, which is actually not a lot by New York standards, giving it an intimate feel. And it was originally built in 1925, so it still has plenty of character and charm but with all of the modern touches you want to live your best life.
