Television production looks a bit different this fall 2020 season.

Amid rising COVID cases and looming lockdowns, my fellow New Yorkers should take heart — because we will have a greater city to look forward to once this pandemic’s over.

For a notoriously hard rocker with a penchant for partying, Bret Michaels’ Scottsdale, Ariz., estate is surprisingly subdued.

Indeed, the single-story adobe-inspired home of the kerchief-wearing frontman of iconic ‘80s hair band Poison, who’s long had a side hustle

Is this North Jersey — or the North Pole? In Colts Neck, NJ, a stately stone-clad home that hit the market in October for $2.19 million stands out for more than its two-story foyer, roomy kitchen and 2,000-square-foot outdoor patio surrounding a large saltwater pool. It’s all totally tricked out with Christmas decorations. The four-bed,

More than three years after it first hit the market, one of the Los Angeles market’s most notorious spec-mansions — the real estate white elephant formerly known as Opus — has finally found a buyer.

If a sunken living room, vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, and extraordinary views of natural landscape are your cup of tea, your dream home just came on the market: an extraordinary 1961 structure designed by visionary architect Harry Gesner.

Traditionally, well-meaning parents have encouraged their kids to pursue careers in stable professions — medicine, law, finance, even technology. However, non-conformists might consider pointing their progenty to another, less conventional career path: DJ.

Though it has a reputation as a quaint, postcard-perfect beach getaway, the San Diego County town of Del Mar has also long been aggressively expensive, and it’s got mansions every bit as lavish as those in Malibu or Newport Beach.

A day of destiny is at hand for 200 Amsterdam Ave., the nearly completed, 52-story condo tower at West 71st Street which a judge ordered to be half torn-down.

Were it not for Alan Salzman, Tesla might not be the car company it is today.

Before there were social media megastars like Emma Chamberlain, Olivia Culpo and Kylie Jenner, there was Cindy Margolis.
