Jessica Simpson maybe getting back to her country roots, but she has her sights set on a New York City apartment.

Simpson recently finished filming Major Movie Star and is now thinking about creating a country album, according to her father and manager, Joe Simpson.

After spending a few nights clubbing and dining around town, the 27-year-old singer-actress was spotted searching for the dwelling of her dreams.

"I'm looking at places because my record label is in New York and I want to be close to that and I'm singing again," she confirmed to PEOPLE at the Operation Smile 25th Anniversary Gala in Beverly Hills on Friday. "I'm looking forward to it."

Which neighborhood she'll choose is still up in the air. Simpson was looking at condos in the $2 to $12 million-range all over Manhattan, according to TMZ.com.

As one of the faces of Operation Smile, which provides medical surgery to children who suffer from facial birth defects and can't afford treatment, Simpson traveled to Kenya where she used her musical talent to help lull the children to sleep.

"I've been in the hospital with the kids ... Most of them are babies, so I can sing them lullabies," she said.
