Residents of the most fashionable, high-end NYC apartments have made an art of being unimpressed by the celebrities next door, even when the inevitable hijinks ensue.
After all, enduring the deranged shrieking of a high-profile nervous breakdown or stepping over the burnt-out candle stubs and puckered photographs of an impromptu shrine are minor inconveniences when compared to the sharp increase in real estate value that inevitably befalls a building brushed with greatness[NYM].
But what can residents of #1 Morton Square expect when young Daniel Radcliff moves into his $4.9 million, three-bedroom corner digs [NYT]?
Best known for his role as Harry Potter in the enormously popular movie franchise, some news sources are playfully speculating whether Mr. Radcliff’s new neighbors will have to steel their nerves for an influx of mythical beasts and otherworldly creatures--but that’s just silly, of course. With Amy Poehler and the Olson twins already living in the building, residents of #1 Morton Square have been dealing with an elf problem for a while now.

Parker Doesn't Pose Here Anymore
Unelected, but somehow anointed “East Village Mascot,” Parker Posey, just traded in her final shred of bohemian street cred when she sold her 1845 brownstone on East 10th Street and purchased a “big girl”, one-bedroom co-op on Fifth Avenue.
Ms. Posey’s relocation, might confirm some observers’ belief that—despite her prolific career in low-budget, independent films in the early- and mid-nineties—at best, she was only ever a sanitized, Hollywood version of an East Village hipster. But then again, some other purists might contend, isn’t the East Village itself—like so many other NYC neighborhoods—becoming a more sanitized, Hollywood version of itself?
Not as long as Chloë Sevigny lives there. No amount of Hollywood scrubbing will ever fade the indelible smudge her role in The Brown Bunny left on her resume (and Vincent Gallo's 501s), but those are the career faux-pas that will guarantee Ms. Sevigny East Village citizenship for life.
