Signature Abode from Superman Comics Listed

The Penthouse- Not Just Any NYC Apartment
Nope, we’re not talking about some dingy one-room apartment. No siree! The Standish, with its crown jewel, the fifth-floor unit, is the epitome of extravagance. With a hefty 2,400 square feet, it’s a far cry from Superman’s humble in-comic persona.

An Oscilloscope Screen’s Worth of Scenes
Played host to countless pivotal moments in the Superman soliloquy, this hallowed site saw Clark perched at his Underwood, concocting narratives for the Daily Planet by day and segueing into Supes by night.
Hot Take
In the grand scale of “things that don’t happen every day,” Superman’s apartment getting listed for sale is right up there on the list. Between saving the world and writing Pulitzer-worthy articles for the Daily Planet, our favorite Man of Steel clearly didn’t stick around to renovate his apartment, but the space offers a unique blend of nostalgic echoes from the silver age of comic books and modern luxury living.
Who knows what superpower you might gain after living in this “Super” residence – at the very least, a fantastic view of Brooklyn Heights?
And just in case you’re worried about your secret identity being exposed – let’s not forget that Clark managed to keep his gig as the Last Son of Krypton pretty under wraps for decades just by wearing a pair of glasses. So, we reckon your secret superhero stash (or even just your horrendously embarrassing vinyl collection) will be safe and sound in the Standish, your potential new Fortress of Solitude.
