In a society that can make stars as quickly as it can break them, it is clear we have become a bit celeb obsessed. For those who want to take their obsession to the next level, your love of certain celebrities may even affect your home-buying decision. Where you choose to live could have a direct impact on how many star-studded interactions you have on a daily basis.
You constantly see magazine reporters snapping candid photos of celebs going about their daily lives getting lattes, going to the park, and even dropping off dry-cleaning. So how can you begin frequenting the same local shops they do? Your best bet is to find neighborhoods that are becoming celebrity hot spots. Included here are a few of the most popular neighborhoods for celebrity homes.
Beverly Hills
Getting into the exclusive neighborhood of Beverly Hills is no small feat, making it an incredibly popular destination for celebrity homes. Stars who are looking to establish, and reinforce, their ranking among Hollywood’s elite are likely to settle down here. Heartthrob Channing Tatum has his residence here, as well as power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z. Scott Disick and Slash also maintain extravagant homes in this ritzy neighborhood.
Tribeca
While New York City has always been an attractant for people who are hoping to become stars, many established celebrities enjoy settling into this hotbed of activity. Downtown neighborhood, Tribeca, is quickly rising as one of the most popular neighborhoods in New York City, growing as a hip destination for those young and old. Taylor Swift, Jon Stewart, Nicole Miller, and Orlando Bloom are all recent additions to this popular New York neighborhood.
Malibu
Beach-living appeals to almost everyone, as days of sun and surf melt away the troubles of modern life. Heading down the Pacific Coast Highway brings you to the seaside oasis of Malibu. With sandy shores and increased privacy, celebs from Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry, to Steven Spielberg and Patrick Dempsey call Malibu home.
The Hamptons
Spending summer in the Hamptons is the dream of many East-coast residents. The seaside communities along Long Island’s South Fork make up the area called “The Hamptons” where many upper-class New Yorkers live and vacation. Bobby Flay, Brooke Shields, Betsey Johnson, and Renee Zellweger have all chosen to set up shop on this part of the island.
Upper West Side
Known for being one of the classier areas of New York City, the Upper West Side has garnered positive media attention from romantic flicks like “You’ve Got Mail.” Becoming a hotspot destination for celebrities, those from out of town and resident, makes the Upper West Side a developing star spot. Funny folks Jerry Seinfeld and Tina Fey call this area home as well as Glenn Close.
