Disgraced pol Anthony Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, are looking to move out of their $12,000-a-month Park Avenue South rental to a cheaper place.
“Their lease is up in a couple of months, so they are looking at apartments,” a source told us.
The pervy former mayoral candidate and the aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were spotted looking at apartments last week in the Gramercy area, spies said, east of the $3.3 million, four-bedroom rental they’ve been living in that’s owned by Democratic donor Jack Rosen, a close pal of Bill Clinton.
Citi Habitats broker Brian Morgan told Page Six the couple toured a three-bedroom, 2¹/₂ -bathroom unit at 340 E. 23rd St., the Philippe Starckdesigned building near Second Avenue dubbed Gramercy Starck.
The apartment’s $8,000-per-month rent would signifcantly bring down Weiner and Abedin’s overhead.
We’re told that the modern unit they toured includes brand-new appliances, a private balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows. The high-rise building boasts a fitness center, billiards room, screening room and landscaped outdoor terrace.
Morgan told us about the couple, who have a son, Jordan: “He didn’t talk much; she was very nice. She was in control. She was asking all the questions and was way more vocal.”
When Weiner presided over New York’s 9th Congressional District, he and Abedin owned a two bedroom co-op in Forest Hills. They sold the Queens property for $430,000 shortly after Weiner’s first sexting scandal and resignation in 2011. In August 2012, the couple moved into Rosen’s pricey pad.
The Post previously estimated the monthly rent on the four-bedroom apartment at between $12,000 and $14,000. Weiner watchers at the time wondered how the couple could afford it. But he’s reportedly pulling in between $300,000 and $400,000 annually as a political consultant, while Abedin makes $150,000.
Reps for the couple didn’t get back to us.
