The Beatles legend, who has been dating millionairess Nancy Shevell since last year, has been looking at properties in New York's prestigious Upper East Side - where Nancy currently lives.
The 66-year-old musician already has a property on West 54th Street, which he has owned since the 80s. Paul often stayed in the apartment with his ex-wife Heather Mills.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "He has been looking at eight-figure apartments. I think he just wants to rid himself of the Heather factor."
Paul is said to be unhappy with his current property because the nearby Museum of Modern Art recently added a glass facade which gives visitors a clear view into his home.
Paul and Nancy, 47, have been inseparable recently.
They enjoyed a road trip across the US on the famous Route 66 last month. The couple also went to Antigua for a romantic break in April.
