Greenwich Mansions Are in Demand Again -- as Short-Term Rentals
- Manhattanites escaping coronavirus are bidding up home leases
- Calls had trickled in, ‘then all of a sudden, the flurry came’
The era of coronavirus has brought a new must-have asset to the wealthy suburb of Greenwich: a short-term home rental.
Manhattanites seeking an immediate escape from the outbreak’s epicenter are bidding up leases in the Connecticut town, which for years contended with flagging sales of mansions that few younger Wall Street executives wanted to buy. Now Greenwich is suddenly a competitive hot spot for those with the means to pay up for a temporary refuge.
