Top Celebrities Who Live in NYC
Go Back To Previous PageNew York City doesn’t do subtle, and neither do the people who buy real estate here. Fashion capital, film backlot, tabloid factory — of course, half of Hollywood eventually ends up owning a piece of it. Below are the celebrities currently living in New York City, verified against real estate records and recent reporting rather than recycled from an old list — including a few names that used to be on every “celebrities in NYC” roundup but have actually since moved out.
Celebrities Who Currently Live in NYC
Alec Baldwin — Greenwich Village
Alec Baldwin has been a fixture of the Baldwin-family, tabloid-headline version of New York for decades.
He owns multiple apartments at Devonshire House in Greenwich Village, purchased in 2013 — the kind of real estate strategy that says “I really don’t want new neighbors.”
Robert De Niro — NYC ties, primary residence upstate
Robert De Niro’s decades of playing New York gangsters make a lot more sense once you see his real estate history
— though the full picture is more nuanced than most lists let on. His documented primary residence is actually a Hudson Valley estate in Gardiner, NY, owned since 1997; he’s separately maintained Manhattan ties over the years, including a Central Park West co-op associated with his family. Treat him as a longtime New Yorker with deep city roots, even if “lives on Central Park West” oversimplifies it.
Taylor Swift — Tribeca
Taylor Swift’s country roots might not scream “Tribeca,”
but she’s made the neighborhood work for her, owning a combined townhouse portfolio at 153 and 155 Franklin Street worth roughly $47.75 million. Some sale-rumor chatter surfaced in 2025, but city finance records showed no recorded sale as of our research. She stepped away from the property in July 2026 around her wedding to Travis Kelce — a pause, not a move.
Denzel Washington — Central Park West
Denzel Washington’s voice alone could probably close a deal, and he put it to good use at 15 Central Park West
— one of the city’s most star-studded buildings, purchased in 2006 for $13 million. He shares the address with a couple of other names on this list, including Alec Baldwin.
John Oliver — Upper West Side
John Oliver made the jump from British satire to a New York institution.
He bought penthouse 3902 at 60 Riverside Boulevard on the Upper West Side in 2017 for $9.5 million and, per reporting as recent as late 2025, still lives there — more commitment than most New Yorkers show to their apartments.
Kristen Stewart — NoHo
Kristen Stewart’s Twilight years turned into a very real New York City budget
— she bought a NoHo loft at 1 Bond Street for $5.64 million in 2018, one of downtown’s most architecturally striking addresses, and evidence points to continued use as recently as early 2026.
Daniel Radcliffe — West Village
Daniel Radcliffe’s Broadway run in Equus turned into a permanent New York habit — he picked up a townhouse at 339 West 12th Street in the West Village
in 2009 for $5.65 million and has split time between there and London ever since.
Trevor Noah — Hell’s Kitchen (in transition)
Trevor Noah’s move from South African stand-up to The Daily Show desk came with a practical New York upgrade
— a penthouse at Stella Tower in Hell’s Kitchen, close enough to walk to the studio.
Worth flagging: the unit has reportedly been listed for sale and gone under contract, so this may be out of date by the time you read this.
Jennifer Lawrence — West Village
Jennifer Lawrence’s Hunger Games paycheck bought her a $21.9 million townhouse-style condo on Jane Street
in 2020, and it remains her full-time home with husband Cooke Maroney and their son, per current reporting.
Chris Noth — Greenwich Village
Chris Noth’s on-screen NYPD swagger in Law & Order isn’t much of a stretch — he’s owned
on East 9th Street in Greenwich Village since 1994, making him one of the longest tenures on this entire list. He separately picked up an Upper East Side co-op in 2017.
Peter Dinklage — Manhattan
Peter Dinklage was part of the New York acting scene long before Game of Thrones made him a household name.
Reporting places him in Manhattan, though sources disagree on the exact neighborhood (Greenwich Village vs. Williamsburg), and his precise address is deliberately kept private. He also maintains a property in the Hudson Valley upstate.
Ralph Fiennes — West Village / Meatpacking District
Potterheads will recognize Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort; everyone else probably knows him from a long run of prolific indie films.
He’s owned a condo at the border of the West Village and Meatpacking District since 2008 — a considerable upgrade from a nose-less villain’s usual real estate.
Tina Fey — Upper West Side
Tina Fey built her career in New York, from her Saturday Night Live years to 30 Rock — a show literally named after 30 Rockefeller Plaza,
where NBC is headquartered.
She and her husband, Jeff Richmond, have owned 300 West End Avenue for years and, as of early 2025, bought the unit directly above their own to build out an even bigger duplex — not exactly the move of someone planning to leave.
Jimmy Fallon — Gramercy Park
Jimmy Fallon hosts The Tonight Show from 30 Rockefeller Plaza, but he actually goes home to Gramercy Park — a combined four-unit penthouse of roughly 5,000 square feet, reportedly worth around $15 million.
It’s been mentioned in market coverage as potentially for sale, so treat the address as current but not guaranteed permanent.
Sarah Jessica Parker — West Village
Sarah Jessica Parker didn’t just play a Manhattan icon on Sex and the City — she’s lived the part for real, based in the West Village for decades.
An earlier townhouse she and Matthew Broderick owned has since changed hands more than once and isn’t where they currently live — their actual current home is a combined pair of townhouses acquired in 2016 for $34.5 million, blocks from the stoop everyone still stops to photograph.
Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively — Tribeca
Reynolds and Lively bought a Tribeca loft at 443 Greenwich Street for $5.7 million, and multiple 2025 reports confirm the couple and their four kids still live there full-time — reportedly in the same building associated with Jennifer Lawrence.
Anderson Cooper — Greenwich Village
Anderson Cooper owns a converted firehouse at 84 West 3rd Street in Greenwich Village, purchased in 2010 for $4.3 million — about as literal a “unique NYC property” as it gets.
Sting & Trudie Styler — Central Park South
Sting and Trudie Styler sold their earlier penthouse at 15 Central Park West for $50 million in 2018 and traded up — buying a $65.7 million penthouse at 220 Central Park South the following year, one of the most expensive residential purchases in New York City history.
Celebrities Who Used to Live in NYC (But Moved)
A few names that show up on nearly every “celebrities in NYC” list are worth a second look, because the real estate has changed since those lists were last updated:
- Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka sold their Harlem townhouse in 2022 for a record $6.99 million and now split time between an East Hampton property and a Manhattan address — no current confirmed Manhattan address.
- Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake sold their $20 million Tribeca penthouse in 2022 for $29 million (the buyer resold it again in December 2025 for $40 million). Multiple 2025-2026 reports place the couple in Big Sky, Montana, having left New York for more privacy.
- Al Pacino sold his Central Park South condo and now splits time between a property in Palisades, NY (just outside city limits in Rockland County) and a Beverly Hills rental — no longer a NYC-proper resident.
