CELEBRITY HOMES - EDDIE MURPHY

Hailing from New York, Eddie has owned multiple condos in Manhattan as well as mansions in the New York / Jersey suburbs. He’s also owned a couple places in California. But since 2005, Eddie Murphy lives in Beverly Hills, California in an exclusive community high in the hills and set behind multiple gates and security checkpoints.

It was in 2005 that Murphy built an extravagant mansion in Hollywood Hills next to several Hollywood superstars for a reported $20 Million. It is rumored that the house rounded up a property tax bill of $250,000 in 2011 alone!

The 18,598 square foot home has 10 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, a pool fit for a 5-star resort, and a bowling alley! Yes, a freaking bowling alley. Guess that’s required when you have so many kids to entertain! Eddie bought the property for $10 Million before the $20 million overhaul.

Eddie Murphy’s neighbors include Rod Steward, Sylvester Stallone, Jessica Alba, Channing Tatum, Lisa Vanderpump and Calvin Harris. Those are the most famous. A few other lesser-known celebrities live nearby as well.
