Clintons looking for New York City condo, newspaper reports

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- President Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is running for the U.S. Senate from New York, are looking for a New York City condominium for after the president leaves office in January 2001, the New York Post reported Sunday.

The apartment would serve as a second residence for the Clintons, who purchased a house in suburban Chappaqua last year.

Two possibilities are a two-bedroom condominium apartment on tony Park Ave., and a three-bedroom on Central Park West. Each is listed at just under $2 million, the Post said.

The Clintons' primary considerations are proximity to Central Park and midtown media outlets, and at least two bedrooms, the report said.

At least one of the units is listed by the prestigious Corcoran real estate group, whose CEO Barbara Corcoran would not confirm whether the Clintons had checked out her listings. But she called the Park Avenue place "a natural" for them.

A spokesman for Clinton's Senate campaign denied to the newspaper the first couple was apartment hunting, saying "it certainly comes as news to Hillary."

Mrs. Clinton is currently locked in a close race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Her opponent is Long Island Republican Rep. Rick Lazio.
