While Joan and Chock are going to continue living in different states due to their responsibilities at their homes in Maryland and Kansas, respectively, their NYC apartment will provide them a convenient meet-up location.
The Golden Bachelorette couple, who got engaged in August and went public as a couple when the show's finale aired on November 13, told People at Ben Higgins' "Almost Famous" Baby Shower event on Thursday, December 5 that they're one step closer to finding their dream big-city place.
"It's just like not really a move. It's going to be a place for our little honeymoon," Joan, 61, told the magazine.
Chock, also 61, added, "It's going to be a love shack."
Chock shared that after he and Joan recently spent some time in New York, they are eyeing a specific location.
"We really like SoHo," Chock told the magazine, adding how they're "going to take a little bit of time and try to find a great place in SoHo."
Although Chock described the apartment as "a love shack," the couple is not looking for a one-bedroom studio arrangement.
Joan and Chock revealed that they'd like to find a place with at least two bedrooms so their friends and family can visit.
Joan said she believes this home away from home will be a "great place for us to really continue getting to know each other and in a totally different place, a place that both of us have always wanted to go."
Joan apparently views her future in New York City as a very exciting new chapter in her life.

Both Joan and Chock have always wanted to live in New York, and Chock pointed out how his kids "absolutely love" the city as well.
"They've got friends there and we were there. And I'm in their life. We're all kind of fun and it's all good," Chock gushed.
Last month, Chock clarified how this NYC apartment is going to serve as an escape for The Golden Bachelorette couple -- and not as a permanent address.
"We're going to be going back and forth between Kansas to Maryland and to New York. We'll have a full-time place in New York and whenever we get the opportunity, we're going to be there," Chock explained.
"We're going to get it figured out this next year."
Chock and Joan teased on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast last month how they also have a lot of traveling in store for 2025.

Joan and Chock shared how they'll be traveling to Africa, France, Spain and the Caribbean.
"We have time and we have resources now. Chock isn't retired, but he can leave his business and it runs pretty well without him, as long as he has some oversight," Joan shared.
"And I have taken a leave of absence and so I'm currently not working. We can now concentrate on our relationship, and I feel that's really important in the beginning."

Joan said she was looking forward to having a great time with Chock in the Big Apple, where it will be "just us" for a while.
Joan also noted that the happy couple is looking forward to spending time with each other's friends and "being in each other's homes."
Joan gushed, "Me being in Kansas is going to be like a vacation for me! I've never been there and I'm going to be meeting his family!... All of this is still really fun and new."
As far as wedding planning goes, Joan quipped, "He asks me every day, 'When are we getting married?!' And I don't know yet! Everybody is hounding me."
The Golden Bachelorette star went on to confirm, "We are going to get married. I'm just not, like, totally sure!"
Chock agreed and said they were in "no rush" to tie the knot.
But during a subsequent appearance on "The Viall Files" podcast, Joan and Chock revealed how they'd like to have a televised wedding in order to include Bachelor Nation.
Joan and Chock also revealed that they could imagine themselves getting married in 2025 or early 2026.
