Obama's NYC apartment from his student days back on the market

Washington, July 21 (ANI): The NYC apartment where President Barack Obama lived while attending Columbia University in the 1980s has hit the market this week.

The Upper West Side third-floor walk-up with two bedrooms will run you 2,400 dollars a month, quite a jump from the 360 dollars Obama and a roommate paid in 1981, according to Newsday,

While the railroad-style pad, located at 142 W. 109th St., is a far cry from the palatial luxury of the White House, it has some character, according to Zak Kneider, the Citi Habitats broker listing the apartment.

"The apartment has a little charm, but other than that, it is a typical apartment. Nothing is out of the ordinary except for that Obama lived here," the Politico quoted Kneider as saying

It's the same apartment that Obama found so uncomfortable that he decided to stop paying rent until his landlord evicted him, as mentioned in David Maraniss biography of Obama. (ANI)
