Neighborhood Central Park South

Where better to start than a duplex penthouse atop the Plaza? Listed for $85,000 per month, this 3-bedroom spread spans more than 4,000 square feet and offers knockout views of Central Park.

Neighborhood Chelsea

This monster townhouse is renting for a whopping $75,000 per month, but hey, it was once rented by Lady Gaga herself. This six-floor mansion, which can also be purchased for $17.99 million, has in-house amenities like a movie theater, yoga studio and wine cellar. It must have offered Gaga an ideal spot to hide from the paparazzi — why anyone ever leave? Ryan Serhant and Nicole Palermo of Nest Seekers International have the listing.

One month in it will run you about the cost of a new Mercedes. Alexander Constantin of Heritage Realty Services is the listing agent.

Neighborhood Midtown

This $99,000-per-month, 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom spread in the brand-new 220 Central Park South has many stunning features, but the marble soaking tub overlooking Midtown’s skyscrapers might be our favorite. The 42-foot-wide living room has panoramic views of Central Park (as does the bedroom), so the whole apartment would be great for entertaining — if you ever feel like getting out of the tub. Geraldine Dayan, Caleb Loftus and Dane Gray of Compass are the listing agents.
