Think apartment and condominium living isn’t for everyone? Think again! Celebrities love the convenience of apartment and condominiums just like everyone else. While their units are certainly a little…extravagant (so you probably won’t be buying any apartment for sale that they’re offering) make no mistake: many celebrities actually prefer to live in their own, private apartment and condominium unit tucked away from the stresses of public life. Below are a few of the many celebrities whom, if asked, would vouch for apartment and condo living!

Famous Celebrities and their Condos

Taylor Swift

Is Taylor Swift the world’s most recognizable artist? That’s up for debate depending on whom you ask. What isn’t up for debate is just how cool her New York City condo is. When director Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) placed his condo for sale, Swift swooped in and bought the apartment for a steal: only a little under $20-million dollars! Measuring at almost 10,000-square feet with a breathtaking view of NYC, it’s undoubtedly one of the city’s most competitive units.

Chelsea Clinton

The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton also lives in New York City but in a more humble apartment than Taylor Swift. Even so, the apartment measures at 5,000-square feet. A pre-war loft with its very own private elevator complete with Italian marble and gorgeous oak floors, the Clintons obviously have a lot of style (she probably gets it from her father).

Jennifer Lawrence

She may be one of the decade’s biggest names in Hollywood, but this under-30 actress was until very recently living in a modest two-bedroom condo. Her Santa Monica apartment was approximately 1,413-square complete with a two-car garage, a gas fireplace, and wide-plank hardwood flooring. It’s quite the modest home for someone that made Oscar history in 2012 and it just goes to show you: those that seem to be on top of the world can still live modestly. What’s not modest? The outrageous Santa Monica price tag: a whopping $1.169-million (and that was under asking price!). She also has a New York City loft-style condo which was up for rent in 2017 which can be seen below!

Justin Timberlake

Living in the same neighbourhood as Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and wife Jessica Biel live in a four-bedroom apartment within a luxurious condo development that has an interesting amenity: supposedly, it’s paparazzi-proof. Such an amenity brings with it a 4,000-square foot courtyard that’s completely secluded from the outside world. Tribeca is said to be the absolute best place to live in New York City and as a result attracts celebrities to its luxurious condo developments; paparazzi proof properties are not an amenity that’s required in many neighbourhoods, but in this case it’s absolutely mandatory!

Mark Wahlberg

In 2011, Wahlberg purchased a unit in Toronto overlooking Hazelton Avenue for approximately $12-million. The unit featured more than 2,800-square feet with a host of amenities that

encompass wealth: a wine cellar with 21 personal, climate-controlled fridges (all lockable), and a tasting room just to name a few. Wahlberg enjoyed the luxury of a private elevator and a private courtyard – and at 80-cents per square foot, Wahlberg got a pretty sweet deal on his unit earlier in the decade.

Samuel L. Jackson

How many films has Samuel L. Jackson starred in? You probably can’t count them (there’s just too many), but what you can count on is what a ridiculous price tag the last celebrity on this list paid for his four-bedroom condo. The 13-storey development close to the world famous Central Park in New York City sold for a hot $13-million, but if you look closely you can see why. Complete with a marble bathroom, wet bar, and a view of the city that’s beyond photogenic, one look at Jackson’s amazing condo and you can see that while ridiculous, it’s a price worth paying. It even has a custom-fitted dressing room and ensuite bathroom with a claw-footed bathtub under a chandelier so you know it’s fit for celebrity status.
