Your Celebrity Neighbor

Your Celebrity Neighbor: Billie Jean King

By Sharon Krum | November 20, 2013 - 2:44PM

WHO: Billie Jean King, women’s tennis legend, winner of 20 Wimbledon titles and famous slayer of Bobby Riggs, turns 70 this week. And we bet the champion could still beat a guy on the court.

WHERE: King, who founded the Women’s Tennis Association, lives on the Upper West Side, where  the median sales price  is $1.175 million and the median rental price is $3,450.

Your Celebrity Neighbor is a weekly heads-up on the A-listers who call your neighborhood home and (in theory) shop the same Duane Reade as you.
