This is where the Roy family lives! Take a sneak peek at two of Succession’s luxury homes for sale

Two of the New York apartments featured in the HBO show, known for its incredible luxury and Shakespearean drama, are now up for sale, giving curious viewers a chance to explore more.

A tyrannical father (who is also one of the biggest media moguls in the United States) and his four children are at the centre of one of HBO’s most successful and critically acclaimed show, Succession. And of course, the question of who will take over the aging family man’s multi-billion dollar business. As well as the backstabbing, acquisitions, and other family dramas, the average viewer will be just as thrilled to get a glimpse into the daily lives of New York’s elite. For authenticity, the episodes are mostly shot not in studios but in real luxury apartments, most of which are perched at the top of a skyscraper, offering stunning views. We’ve all had the chance to peer into the Roy siblings’ penthouses through the cameras, but now that two of the fictional brothers’ real-life properties have been put on the market, a relatively large number of details about the almost unfathomably expensive homes have been revealed.

Kendall Roy’s penthouse is located on the Upper Eas Side (180 East 88th Street) and is currently on the market for $29 million. The three-story complex overlooks Central Park and has 512 square meters of interior space, which can accommodate five bedrooms and four bathrooms. This is complemented by 325 square meters of outdoor space, 200 square meters of which is a huge rooftop terrace overlooking the Manhattan skyline. The building itself was completed in 2019 and is 50 stories tall, making it one of the tallest in the area.

But the youngest brother, Roman Roy, did even better, with his apartment for sale at an even higher price. The property occupies the 49th and 50th floors of the Upper West Side’s 200 Amsterdam building, with 590 square meters. The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom (plus a couple of terraces) penthouse is currently listed for $38 million, but in exchange, you’ll not only get views of Central Park and Manhattan from the windows, but also the Hudson River.
