Lady Gaga's Old NYC Apartment Available for Rent
Pop Star Lady Gaga’s old New York City apartment was recently put up for rent.
Before the singer reached superstardom, she lived at the Lower East Side apartment. Gaga’s father agreed to pay her rent after she moved out of her plush Upper West Side childhood home.
She lived in the apartment for three years while struggling to make a name for herself in the music industry.

“It was like I had to go lick the ground for a few years to understand New York City and a whole different side of the pavement,” said Gaga to MTV about the apartment. “I wanted to live alone live in solitude with my music. I wanted to read poetry and be overly dramatic about everything and that's what I did.”
Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, paid $1,100 a month for the apartment that boasts French doors, a marble bath and a basic kitchen.
“Former abode of the infamous Lady Gaga-legitimately!” reads the Citi Habitats website listing for the apartment located at 176 Stanton Street.
Lady Gaga’s former one-bedroom apartment is on the third floor and is available for $1,850 a month.
Growing up in the neighborhood near Lincoln Center, Gaga credited the Lower East Side with helping her to come out of her shell.
