Livvy Dunne found out the hard way just how tough the real estate game can be.

The former LSU gymnast took to social media to reveal she was blocked from buying Babe Ruth‘s New York City apartment.

“I decided I was going to make my first real estate purchase, which is so exciting, and I was going to get an apartment in New York City,” Livvy Dunne said in a TikTok video. “But the gag was that it was Babe Ruth’s apartment.

“So naturally, I’m telling everybody. I’m excited. I was going to buy it, and I was going to pay with cash. I wanted this apartment bad. It got to the point where the realtor was so confident. Paul (Skenes) and I went, I got an interior designer because I didn’t want to bring my college furniture to Babe Ruth’s apartment. That would be criminal.”

As fate would have it, Dunne shared the co-op board blocked the purchase.

“The people in the building voted to not have me live there, which is fine,” Dunne said. “It wasn’t financial. It could have been. …

“For all I know, they could’ve been Alabama fans, and I went to LSU. I have no clue. Maybe they didn’t want a public figure living there, but I was literally supposed to get the keys, and that week, they denied me.”

According to the “New York Post‚” Ruth’s apartment is located in the Upper West Side and cost $1.59 million. It was listed as a three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom apartment.

Ruth, per the report, lived there with late second wife and adopted daughter from 1920 to 1940.
