Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are in contract to buy a $10.5 million apartment in The Whitman, at 21 East 26th St.

Come June, NoMad residents will be keeping up with the Clintons.

Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky , are buying a sleek, $10.5 million apartment overlooking Madison Square Park, sources said.

The 5,000-square-foot pad, in The Whitman at 21 E. 26th St., is just a few blocks from the couple's rented Gramercy Park loft. Sources said staying nearby was a top priority for the pair.

Last Sunday, Clinton, 33, and her husband, 35, planned to take a hush-hush tour of the New Georgian-style pre-war with her parents, former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

But when they showed up, the building was swarming with construction workers, a source said.

Sources said the couple arranged a private tour of the building with Clinton's parents last Sunday and were surprised to find hardhats at work on a gut renovation. The former first family happily posed for pictures and shook hands. BB CREATIVE

The former first family wasn't ruffled, though, and shook hands and posed for pictures with the awestruck workers, the source said.

The four-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath spread is on the second floor and features oak floors, Italian marble bathrooms and elevator access.

The living room has views of the north end of Madison Square Park, and there is a private gym downstairs.

A number of A-listers, including Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, toured the digs before the Clintons and Mezvinsky jumped on it, a real estate source said.

Clinton and Mezvinsky liked the block's quiet vibe and tight security.

"It's a rare opportunity to live in a pre-war building with high ceiling and park views," a broker who has toured the building told the News.

The apartment was listed by two of Douglas Elliman's top brokers, Melanie Lazenby - whose father George played James Bond in one film - and Dina Lewis.

Neither would comment on the sale.

(edited)777 days ago Miramardennis This story just proves that the Clintons are One Percenters that the left hates.Actually most of the most liberal Democrats are very rich.I wonder if the very rich Chelsea and her husband contribute any money to our wounded veterans who make it possible for them to live such comfortable life

(edited)777 days ago Open Your Eyes Do you wonder so much that you actually take the time to look it up? It's not that hard. Or are you more into making the vague presumption that she doesn't?

(edited)776 days ago Miramardennis Let's make a bet on it.Open up your wallet because I am sure they do not.

(edited)777 days ago Happier and Back Miramardennis: But I bet they don't mind paying their fair share of taxes, unlike some who evade taxes by hiding their money overseas.

(edited)774 days ago Bill Kleinsturn Or some BILLIONAIRES who misrepresent where their boat is berthed so that they can evade paying a few thousand dollars taxes in their state of residence. Oh, forgot about THAT failed presidential candidate, did ya?

(edited)26 days ago Joe Corrao hhahhaha...u mean the money they have earned through hard work?

(edited)321 days ago Macy Penna How much do YOU give to veterans? This couple has the right to live in luxury because they are very wealthy, get over it.

(edited)777 days ago Ironman What did she do to accumulate that kind of money to buy that apartment?...What her parents do also? Presidents only make $200,000 a year. Times that by eight years is only 1.6 million...How much money does this family actually have that gives them the right to ridicule Mitt Romney's income and tax returns? The Clintons are masters of dirty politics and there's a chance another could be in office in 2016. Sickening.

(edited)777 days ago arturius008 Hillary an bill have been saving since her whitewater takedown. Hillary, what a joke that left wing idealist is. Hopefully this country is done with the clinton's.

(edited)777 days ago Open Your Eyes Yeah, that Whitewater takedown... they really got to the bottom of THAT investigation. They proved that Clinton got behaving the same way Newt, John Edwards, Giuliani, Sanford, Ted Haggard, Ted Stevens and so many others do on both sides. Boy, Ken Starr really did a great job on that one.

(edited)777 days ago jcase Hey dude for your info: Bill Clinton makes money on the speaking circuit, as well as consulting. I'm sure he has investments that probably gives him great dividends, not to mention a nice pension for the rest of his life. Then there is Hillary, former law partner for a prestigious law firm, she worked for the Walmart corp for years before she became first lady. I hear she owns a significant amount of stock as well, and we all know how well Walmart does; one of the number one companies in the world. And I'm sure Chelsea and her husband does well. Last, what business of your is it anyway? That's the problem, everyone is worried everyone else but themselves. I recommend you look in the mirror and start there. And the sad thing you're probably broke because you're lazy or something.

(edited)8 days ago Steve Gallegos If the Clinton's made all that money, why are they under suspicion for the 500 million dollars they received for their foundation? It looks like you're blind to the facts that the Clinton's are the master in manipulating the system?

(edited)777 days ago ArizonaLady Her fsther in law is a crook..and in prison...and rich.

(edited)777 days ago Open Your Eyes Yeah, we need to preserve 2016 for someone not in the middle of a big, rich political family that's not all about dirty politics. Jeb Bush in 2016! Change we can bleieve in. Somebody contact Katherine Harris-we've got an election that needs some fixin' Florida Style!

(edited)321 days ago Macy Penna There money is NONE OF YOU BUSINESS. Stop being so jealous.

(edited)26 days ago Joe Corrao If her mother runs for president its all of our businesses

(edited)8 days ago Steve Gallegos If their breaking the law and their holding or running for a government position, then it is everyone business to know their financial business? Wake up lady, it look like you also fell into the Clinton's trape of web of lies and manipulations that they have done all their lives?

(edited)8 days ago Steve Gallegos I said the thing, and the only conclusion I came up with that she got the money from the Clinton's Foundation, her name is also on the foundation, so she has access to the 500 million dollars that the overseas countries and corporations who donated to the foundation. They claim Hillary & Bill have also got their hands in the cookie jar also, which they all denied? What is also subspecies when the Clinton's file their IRS Filing and claim 225 million in expenses for the foundation? The Clinton's are the masters of manipulating the system., the whole family should be behind bars.
