A Place for an Energetic Little Boy
After Hudson Lee was born — yes, he was named for the Hudson River — his parents knew they couldn’t remain in their small, noisy, roach-ridden Inwood rental for much longer.
All they needed was a great deal: someplace clean, quiet, big enough for an energetic little boy, and costing, oh, in the low $100,000’s.
His parents — Jason Lee, an actor, and Noelle Knight-Lee, a painter and art teacher — didn’t have the financial wherewithal to move until her father, Jack Knight, visited. He asked how much they would need for a down payment on a new place.
