If the condo-shopping Clintons are hoping for friendly neighbors they probably should look west, rather than east.
President and Hillary Clinton are considering a $1.85 million condo at 25 Central Park West and a $1.9 million condo at 500 Park Ave., The Post revealed yesterday.
And what do their potential neighbors think about that?
At the Central Park West building, they were pretty happy.
“I love the Clintons,” said Josh Mailman. “They can move anywhere they want. I helped them get in the White House.”
Steven Ross, a recruiter, noted that, “It would disrupt things. There’d be a lot more people like yourself,” he said – referring to reporters.
But he could see a brighter side.
“There’d be more security and that’d be a good thing. And they’d keep the building cleaner, too.”
His wife, TV producer Emily Aronson, said “They’d be lucky to live here. It’s a great building.”
Sarah Toren liked the idea.
“They’d be most welcomed,” she said. “It’d be fun.
“I’m sure most people would love it,” Toren said. “It’s a good building. Tell her we recommend it.”
“I’m ready to give them my bedroom,” joked her husband, David.
The greeting apparently wouldn’t be as friendly if the Clintons chose the tony Park Avenue condo.
“That’s terrible,” said one resident, who would not give her name. “Known criminals in our building? It’s very bad news.”
Wendy Joseph, on the way out with her two kids and two dogs, was a little kinder.
“The dog can come,” she said of the first canine, Buddy. “But actually we don’t care. It’s New York. They should live wherever they want.”
Her 5-year-old son, Nicholas, disagreed, describing the Clintons as “bad” people.
The staff of the building, at least, would greet the Clintons with open arms, said a doorman.
“He’s more than welcome. They’ll bring more traffic, but that’s still all right,” said the doorman, who asked that his name not be printed.
Rick Lazio, who is running against Hillary in the Senate race, had his own view of the impending real-estate deal.
“I knew they were going to put their house up for sale in Chappaqua after the election,” he said. “But I didn’t think it would be this quick.”
