Andrew Cuomo’s Sutton Place Residency Sparks Speculation of a Mayoral Run
Edited by: TJVNews.com
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has settled into a luxurious Sutton Place apartment, just steps away from his 93-year-old mother, Matilda Cuomo, as he contemplates a potential challenge to incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in the upcoming New York City mayoral race. The New York Post has revealed exclusive details about Cuomo’s current residence and the familial proximity shaping his post-gubernatorial life.
Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 amid multiple harassment allegations—which he continues to deny—now resides in a high-end rental on East 54th Street. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment spans 1,100 square feet and, as of a year ago, was priced at $8,242 per month, according to the report in The New York Post on Saturday and data from StreetEasy. Conveniently located in Manhattan, the residence meets the legal requirement for a mayoral candidate to maintain an address within the city’s five boroughs.
🚨 CUOMO’S PLOT TWIST: FROM DISGRACED EX-GOV TO MAYORAL DREAMS?

Living directly across the street is Cuomo’s mother, Matilda, whose enduring influence as a prominent New York figure and namesake of the state’s Maternal and Child Health Initiative has been a cornerstone of the Cuomo family legacy. The New York Post report that also nearby are Cuomo’s sister, Maria, and her husband, fashion designer Kenneth Cole, who recently moved to New York City after listing their suburban Westchester estate for $22 million last summer.
Following his departure from the governor’s mansion, Cuomo temporarily relocated to his sister Maria’s Westchester residence, which served as a waystation as he navigated his post-office life. However, Maria and Cole’s move to New York City appears to have cemented the family’s urban transition. The New York Post report indicated that Cuomo’s Manhattan residence now positions him at the heart of the city’s political and social scene, a strategic location should he choose to re-enter public office.
Rich Azzopardi, a spokesperson for Cuomo, emphasized the significance of Cuomo’s roots and commitment to New York City. “The governor is a Queens boy who spent his entire adult life fighting to make life better for New York City residents,” Azzopardi told The New York Post. He added that Cuomo’s current living arrangement has the added benefit of keeping him close to his family, noting, “Having family close by is certainly a bonus.”
While Cuomo’s spokesman described discussions of a mayoral run as “premature,” the former governor’s high-profile presence in the city and recent voting activity in Midtown East have fueled speculation. As reported by The New York Post, Cuomo cast his ballot in October, signaling an active engagement in the city’s political affairs.
If Cuomo does decide to run, he would likely position himself as a formidable challenger to Mayor Eric Adams, who faces legal troubles and scrutiny over allegations of corruption. Cuomo’s deep political experience and reputation as a crisis manager—despite the controversies surrounding his resignation—could appeal to voters seeking an alternative to the current administration.

Cuomo’s potential mayoral candidacy comes at a pivotal time for New York City. With public safety, housing, and economic recovery dominating the political discourse, Cuomo’s track record as a hands-on leader could resonate with New Yorkers seeking solutions to the city’s pressing issues. However, his past controversies, including the harassment allegations that led to his resignation, remain a potential hurdle to his political resurgence.
The New York Post reported that Cuomo has been weighing his options carefully, leveraging his experience and network while testing the waters for public sentiment. His spokesperson, Azzopardi, tempered expectations, stating that any talk of Cuomo’s mayoral ambitions is “premature.”
For now, Cuomo’s residency and family ties reflect a personal recalibration as he remains a figure to watch in New York’s dynamic political landscape. Whether he re-emerges as a mayoral contender remains to be seen, but The New York Post has made one thing clear: Andrew Cuomo’s story in New York politics is far from over.
