In 2011, amid the devastating credit crunch, Joan was forced to sell her three-bedroom, three-bathroom Manhattan apartment because she could "no longer afford to keep it" due to the effects of the financial crisis.
The star who at the time had homes in Los Angeles, London and the south of France, said: 'We always knew that there would probably come a time when either our LA home or this one would have to go and we have made the sad decision that it will be this place. Many people have said to us: "How on earth can you afford to keep four homes?" And the fact is, in this day and age, we can't.'
The former Dynasty star said: 'We always knew that there would probably come a time when either our LA home or this one would have to go and we have made the sad decision that it will be this place.

Earlier this year, Dame Joan was in the middle of a dispute with neighbors over construction in her neighbourhood.
She is upset about the extensive construction work underway, including a 108ft 'super basement' being built beneath the £15million townhouse next door.
Dame Joan has now taken to social media to reveal the extent of the disruption it has caused, describing her home as a 'danger zone' and sharing pictures that show how the upmarket street has been rendered impassable by lorries and equipment.
The actress' has been tweeting about the dispute, showing the building site outside her house. The tweet included the hashtag '#whenwillitstop'.
