US President Barack Obama’s Former NYC Apartment up for Rent at $2400 a month

An apartment at Manhattan Valley, New York City, which was once inhabited by the U.S. President Barack Obama, has hit the rental market. One can avail it for just $2400 a month, according to several media reports.

President Obama apparently shared the Upper West Side apartment with a roommate while he was studying at Columbia University. He paid about $360 a month for the abode, reports Huffington Post.

The listing of the residence states that the home is a two bedroom, one bathroom place. The interiors boast of dark hardwood floors, high ceilings and one walk-in closet.

The listing describes the place as:
