Jennifer Aniston is set to splash out $5.9 million on a New York apartment.

The actress is close to finalizing a deal on the luxurious Manhattan property after deciding to relocate to the city from her current home in Los Angeles.

Although the 1,200 square foot penthouse apartment has just one bedroom and one bathroom, it comes with an 800-square foot terrace with north, south, east and west views of the New York Harbour to the Empire State Building.

The property -- which is on the 18th floor of a pre-war building with a doorman -- also has a new open-plan kitchen, dining room, living room, hardwood and poured concrete floors as well as four closets.

Jennifer recently revealed she wanted to move back to New York as she missed the city where she spent a lot of her childhood and attended acting school.

The 41-year-old star said: "I've been looking and looking and looking. I grew up here (New York City). I miss it."

"There is nothing like being in the city that is just the city of Everyman. It's all walks of life -- I love that!"
