In the Dec. 8 post, Mamdani also shared a photo of a miniature replica of the mansion on display at the New York Botanical Garden.
"Went to the NY Botanical Garden’s train show last week, and saw our new home!" he wrote.
While New York City mayors are expected to settle into the Upper East Side residence, the move will mark a dramatic pivot for Mamdani and his wife, Rama Duwaji, whose years-long living situation became a heated topic during the mayoral race.
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo had previously attacked Mamdani for occupying a rent-stabilized unit for $2,300 a month, arguing that his roughly $142,000 salary as a state assemblyman was too high to justify the affordable home.

"My priority, always, is serving the people who call this city home," Mamdani added. "I will be a mayor for the line cooks on Steinway, for the children swinging at Dutch Kills Playground, for the bus riders waiting for the Q101. While I may no longer live in Astoria, Astoria will always live inside me and the work I do."
Mamdani will be sworn in to office on New Year's Day.
