Several of the superheroes that star in the popular comics of Marvel They do not live on invented planets or parallel universes, but in a city as well known as New York, but in areas where the real-estate market has risen like foam and where they should shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions, to be able to own a residence.
A good example is Steve Rogers The Captain America, residing at the fictitious address 569 Leamen Place, at barrio de Brooklyn Heights and close to Brooklyn bridge.
Although in the 60’s in which Captain America lives it was a relatively humble area, today it would have to shelling out more than $ 1.3 million for an apartment of two rooms at 75 Poplar Street, a price that is reflected in the popular real estate sales and rental website “Streeteasy”.
Doctor Strange, for his part, he would have to have a much larger bank account, since for a building in Bleecker Street (Greenwich Village), the same street where the fictional Santum Santorum where he lived with his partner Wong was located, was already sold in 2012 for 4.2 million dollars, so it is calculated that with inflation it is now valued at about 4.7 million dollars.
The quiet neighborhood of Forrest Hills Gardens (Queens) in which comics of Spiderman they place Peter Parker It is somewhat more affordable, although it is not under a million dollars either.
For the four-room house where Spider-Man resided, designed by the well-known architect and landscaper Frederick Law Olmsted and located at 20 Ingram Street, 1.5 million dollars were paid in 2017, according to the Zillow website.
Matt Murdock The Daredevil lived in an attic that would have been the envy of many New Yorkers, and although few are seen in the Hell’s Kitchen, in the west of Manhattan, his apartment would be comparable to the one-bedroom apartments at 857 Ninth Avenue, which sell for about $ 450,000.
His comic bookmate Jessica Jones, whose much more humble residence was at 485 West 46th Street, in the same area, would now have to be paying rent of about $ 2,650 a month for a one-bedroom residence.
The chambers of Luke Cage would be located in the North Harlem area, known as Washington Heights, and although both the apartment in which he lives and the Chinese restaurant he is on, Genghis Connie’s, do not exist in reality, the place where the series was filmed is located at the crossroads between 171st street Y Broadway.
Nearby, the apartments are selling for about $ 350,000.
