After spending several months hunting for the perfect place, super star Will Smith and his gorgeous wife Jada Pinkett Smith have decided to rent an apartment in Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo. This real estate behemoth is spread out over 7,300+ square feet and has five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, two balconies, four fireplaces, a direct access garage with two secure parking spaces, and one laundry room. In fact, the living-dining-media room alone measures 89 feet from one end to the other. Building amenities include 24-hour doorman and concierge services, individual lobby storage areas, an outdoor barbecue center, a caterer’s kitchen, and a residents-only lounge.

Although the exact price is as yet unknown, anybody who’s ever stepped into the real estate market to find an apartment for themselves would know that a sprawling property like this one would be exorbitant. When this unit was last listed in 2009, it demanded a monthly rent of $55,000. Of course, since then the prices would’ve only skyrocketed.

No one doubts Will Smith’s capability to dish out any amount for an apartment of his choice in lower Manhattan. He’s here in town with Jada Pinkett Smith for the shooting of the third part of the popular and highly entertaining Men in Black series. This apartment will serve as a temporary base for them and considering that the Smiths have made close to $50 million this year 2010, no amount can be really too expensive for them.

One look at their primary place of residence in the Santa Monica Mountains will confirm this notion. Located between Malibu and Calabasas, their mansion is sprawled over 22,000+ square feet and is built after along Mediterranean style with contemporary accents. In keeping with the lifestyle of the rich and famous, the property has a dozen bathrooms, full sized tennis and basketball courts that can be lighted at night, a sand volleyball court for them to get together for a casual game with their friends, a lagoon style-swimming pool to relax and laze around in, a batting cage, a home fitness facility to burn the calories and look well toned and gorgeous, a couple of guest houses, stables for the ponies and, hold your breath, private lake!

The apartment that Will Smith in Bond Street may boasts of a wide range of luxuries; yet, it is not a patch on the palatial place they’ve left behind, even if it is temporarily. Let’s see who feels homesick first – Will Smith or Jada Pinkett.
