AD - Examining the Pop Star’s Sabrina Carpenter'S Good “Taste” in Homes

Where does Sabrina Carpenter live? The actor and pop star, who recently announced her upcoming album, Man’s Best Friend, bought her first piece of real estate in 2018, a year after wrapping up her breakthrough role in the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World. Carpenter then began focusing more on her music career, which continued to grow until she eventually reached peak cultural saturation with her inescapable 2024 hit “Espresso.” Nowadays, the pint-size pop princess splits her time between New York and Los Angeles. Below, we’ve rounded up the properties that Carpenter has called home.

Starter house

Carpenter was busy in 2018. Not only did she act in the film The Hate U Give and drop her third album, Singular: Act I, but she also bought her first house. The “Nonsense” singer, then 18 years old, paid $1.7 million for a five-bedroom, five-bathroom abode in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge. Spanning about 5,500 square feet, the traditional-style two-story home was first built in the ’80s and had a brick exterior. The contemporary-style interior featured a sauna, a movie theater with black leather recliners, a spacious dressing room, a game room with a bar, and a double-sided fireplace. Out back was a swimming pool and spa, a basketball court, a cabana, and a dining area shaded by an upstairs balcony.

Records show that Carpenter off-loaded the half-acre property in 2024 for about $2.3 million.

FiDi apartment

A recent Rolling Stone feature revealed that Carpenter has split her time between Los Angeles and New York since 2021, when she began renting an Airbnb in Manhattan’s Financial District with her sister, Sarah, to focus on writing her album Emails I Can’t Send. The singer found that the Big Apple gave her more freedom to avoid the paparazzi and she never moved out, even though she originally planned on staying in New York just for the summer. “Thankfully, the owners really took a liking to my sister and I,” she explained in the interview.

In September 2021, the “Please Please Please” singer shared a photo of her grinning on the dwelling’s fire escape—a feature that she was “pretty excited about”—with Teen Vogue. “I just needed a change of pace in general,” she said of the decision to come to NYC. “But there’s few places you can go that feel as energetic.”

Hollywood Hills home

The Pennsylvania native closed out 2023 with the purchase of a $4.4 million Spanish Colonial home in the Hollywood Hills. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom house was originally built in 1936 and was given a stylish makeover by developer House of Rolison prior to Carpenter’s ownership. Across two levels, the home has about 3,400 square feet of interior space, with light oak floors, concrete fireplaces, picture windows, and vaulted ceilings. At the time of purchase, the singer’s home also featured a dark green wood-paneled dining room, a living room wet bar, and a vintage-inspired kitchen with custom oak cabinets, a spacious island topped in black marble, an off-white Ilve range, and a butler’s pantry. The half-acre plot also boasts canyon and city views, olive trees, multiple patios, tiered gardens, and an Italian courtyard fountain.

The two-time Grammy winner tapped designer Francesca Grace to decorate the home in a feminine, Victorian-inspired look. “She loves vintage and beautiful pink and florals,” the designer told People in November 2024. “As a creative person, she doesn’t like a white box. We’ve wallpapered every single room basically at this point. She loves a print.” Case in point: the sweet kitchen nook that Francesca Grace appointed with floral wallpaper by House of Hackney and blue-and-white striped pillows by Alice Palmer & Co. “When she hired me she was really famous, but this last eight months is when she became probably the number one pop star in the world,” the designer said. At the time, the project was nearly complete. “She trusts me because [her taste] is the same [style] that I would choose for myself. I’ve showed her my house and she’s seen the vibe that I usually do, and she’s like, ‘I want that.’”

Carpenter still owns this property as her LA home base, staying there when she’s not at her NYC pad.
