Jeremy Lin's couch potato days are over.

The star New York Knicks guard, who has been famously crashing on his big brother's couch on the Lower East Side, is moving up in the world to the 20th floor of posh Trump Tower in downtown White Plains.

"Yes, he's staying there," a source within the building told the New York Post.

Lin is subletting from his former teammate on the Golden State Warriors, ex-Knick David Lee. The terms of the sub-lease were not disclosed.

The 35-story building is already home to several of his Knicks teammates as well as to members of the New York Rangers.

It's a short drive to the team's practice facility in nearby Greenburgh, and an even shorter walk to the many bars and restaurants that make White Plains a suburbanite's party central.

Lin may not stay in Lee's luxurious pad for long, however, as he's still looking for his own place in the city while not ruling out Westchester as a permanent abode, another source said.
