Kelly Ripa has had over 3 homes in New York City – and they’ve all been totally different
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos can certainly afford the finer things in life, thanks to their estimated combined net worth of $160 million.
However, before they moved into their current $27 million Manhattan brownstone, which they recently gave a festive makeover that you can see in the video below, they lived in two other apartments in the city.
“Our kids moved – we did switch places a lot,” Mark said on Live with Kelly and Mark on Thursday’s episode.
“Our kids moved three times,” Kelly added, referring to their children Michael, 27, Joaquin, 22, and Lola, 23.
“We were living Uptown, then we moved Downtown. Then we moved Uptown for a renovation, back Downtown,” Kelly explained.
Mark previously shared a glimpse inside their first NYC home – and it is so different to their other two properties.
Upper West Side

Following their 1996 Las Vegas wedding, the couple moved into an apartment on the Upper West Side at 200 W.60th Street.

“Now, we had this apartment when we were first married, and Kelly was pregnant with Michael,” he said.

“It was nice back then, but this has obviously all been updated,” he added before revealing the large wraparound terrace that boasts incredible views of Manhattan. “The key to this apartment was the outdoor space.”
SoHo

The couple spent two years renovating the property and it featured dark wood flooring, a grand staircase, high ceilings, a kitchen with a huge center island, formal living and dining rooms and family rooms with a more relaxed vibe.

Upper East Side
Kelly and Mark bought their $27 million, 7,796-square-foot Upper East Side townhouse 12 years ago and have since turned it into their “forever home”.
“We’ve moved several times in our lives, but no matter where we go, for me, this is my forever home,” Kelly explained to Architectural Digest.
“When I walked in here, I was like, ‘This is the final place where I will live.’ I love this house so much.”
She added: “I don’t want to sound morbid, but they’ll have to carry me out of here feet first because I have gotten good and comfortable in this house.”

It has five bedrooms and six bathrooms, an extravagant foyer that resembles a hotel, and an elevator to take the family up to their rooftop, which has its own bar.

“At first, we were sort of dubious on the idea of tapestries. I was like, we’re still young people!” Mark confessed. But once they were hung, he came around to them. “They are super groovy.”
