Livvy Dunne Says She Was Rejected From Buying Babe Ruth's New York Apartment for $1.6 Million

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, JUL 9 – The co-op board rejected Livvy Dunne's application days before key handover, possibly due to concerns about a public figure living there, despite her $1.59 million cash offer.

  • On Tuesday, Livvy Dunne revealed she was denied by the co-op board from purchasing Babe Ruth’s former NYC apartment despite her cash offer.
  • In March, the $1.59 million prewar co-op listed Ruth’s former apartment; Dunne offered cash, but the board’s approval was denied, blocking her purchase.
  • The historic apartment, once Ruth’s residence from 1929, features high ceilings and oak floors, reflecting its MLB legacy and era-specific charm.
  • Public reaction surged online with Yankees fans supporting Dunne after her rejection, which she said she accepted without resentment, highlighting social media debates over co-op gatekeeping.
  • Beyond Dunne's rejection, the incident illustrates how traditional co-op standards and legacy properties can clash with celebrity culture, reflecting shifting engagement among younger fans.
