Eric Adams – New York, $900K

With rumors swirling about his residency, Eric Adams opened his Brooklyn abode’s doors wide, inviting the press into his basement apartment for a firsthand look. This gesture wasn’t just about disproving naysayers; it was a bold statement of his authenticity and deep connection to the community he serves.

This basement apartment, far from the high-rise luxury that some might expect of a city leader, embodies Eric’s down-to-earth approach and his commitment to the neighborhood that’s shaped him. Laughing off the idea of living elsewhere as “silly,” Eric’s openness during such a contentious time in the primary spotlight wasn’t just a defense—it was a declaration of his pride in his roots and his life in Brooklyn.
