The official residence of the NYC mayor is Gracie Mansion, located in Carl Schurz Park at East End Avenue and East 88th Street in Manhattan’s Yorkville neighborhood.

Where does the NYC mayor live?

  • The mayor’s official home is Gracie Mansion, a historic 18th‑century house overlooking the East River in Carl Schurz Park on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
  • The exact location is East End Avenue at 88th Street, within the Yorkville section of Manhattan.
  • Not every mayor has actually slept there full‑time; for example, Michael Bloomberg chose to remain in his private Upper East Side townhouse while using Gracie Mansion mainly for official events.

Who is the current NYC mayor?

  • As of January 2026, the current mayor is Zohran Mamdani, elected in November 2025 as New York City’s first Indian‑American mayor.
  • Reporting on his win notes that, upon taking office on January 1, 2026, he has the option to move from his rent‑stabilized one‑bedroom in Queens into Gracie Mansion as his primary residence.

Does the mayor have to live there?

  • Gracie Mansion has served as the official residence of NYC mayors since Fiorello La Guardia moved in during 1942, creating the modern tradition of mayors living there.
  • The move is customary rather than legally required, which is why at least one recent mayor (Bloomberg) declined to live there full‑time even while using it for city functions and public events.
