Super Model Gemma Ward in East Village

19 year old Gemma Ward

Letting people take your picture naked sure pays well these days. Super model Gemma Ward, who is Vogue magazine’s youngest-ever cover girl, paid $1,525,000 for a co-op unit at 232 East 6th Street over the summer. The three-bedroom, 1,600 sq. ft. co-op on is between Second and Third avenues and was originally three units. In the summer of 2005 an apartment two floors up sold for $290,000. If you go back a few more years it was one of those East Village tenement things…oh my how times change everything.

She was also seen dating Heath Ledger from time to time. Here are a few pictures from her new apartment.







And now that she lives in the EV. New York Magazine wanted to find out where she hangs out in the neighborhood.

NYM: What's the best meal you've eaten in New York?

Gemma: I have had my fair share of four-hour lunches at La Bottega at the Maritime Hotel, but it's a great hang and the margherita pizza is fantastic.

NYM: Where do you get your coffee?
Gemma: The Australian cafe Ruby's on Mott Street. You can't beat an Australian flat white.

NYM: What's hanging above your sofa?
Gemma: A collection of antique mirrors and pictures.

NYM: What do you hate most about living in New York?
Gemma: Sirens and rubbish trucks at five o'clock in the morning.
