Jennifer Lopez’s homes are as wide-ranging as the multihyphenate’s many talents. Her portfolio currently encompasses properties located in hot spots like Bel Air, the Hamptons, and Miami. Most recently, she and husband Ben Affleck put down $60.9 million for an impressive contemporary Georgian-style estate in LA’s Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood, a far cry from her humble beginnings in the Bronx. Over the years, she’s bought and sold multimillion dollar properties and, along with her ex Alex Rodriguez, has invested countless hours into Project Destined, a program that teaches teens about financial literacy through real estate.
Today, Lopez owns roughly $124.8 million in real estate spread across both coasts. Below, we’ve rounded up all of Lopez’s homes over the years, which collectively show just how she went from Jenny from the Block to entertainment mogul without missing a beat.
The Summit Mansion, Los Angeles
One year after releasing her first hit, “If You Had My Love,” in 2000, Lopez paid $4.3 million for her first Los Angeles mansion, located in a gated community called The Summit. With seven bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms, the museum-like main house featured a sleek, modern aesthetic. Also on the grounds were a guesthouse, an infinity-edge swimming pool, a tennis court, playground, and chicken coop. She sold it for $10.95 million in 2004. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale later owned the home together before selling it for $21.65 million in 2019 following their divorce.
Spanish Style Miami Home
Lopez bought her first Miami home in 2002 for an undisclosed amount, a Spanish-style beachfront mansion set on over 1.2 acres of land, with an enviable 184 feet of bay frontage, a koi pond, and a 60-foot swimming pool. She ultimately sold it for $13.9 million in 2005 to businessman Mark Gainor, who spent the next three years gut-renovating the space, including the addition of a 1,000-square-foot walk-in closet in the main suite. By the time he sold it to singer Phil Collins 10 years later for $33 million, the home had been reconfigured to have six bedrooms and eight and a half bathrooms spread out over 11,049 square feet. Collins put it on the market for $40 million in late 2020 and it sold one month later.
Long Island Estate With Marc Anthony
In 2004, Lopez married Latin superstar Marc Anthony and moved into his large Georgian-style brick mansion in Brookville, Long Island. She later bought the house across the street for just over $2 million, and the pair combined the properties to create an impressive estate. It was here that the musical couple raised their twins, Emme and Max, who were born in 2008. Lopez and Anthony split in 2014, and Anthony ended up selling the estate for $4.5 million in 2017 after a significant price drop, considering the original $12 million list price.
Hidden Hills Traditional
Lopez picked up a stunning Hidden Hills estate for $8.2 million in 2010. The traditional-style mansion was divided into two main structures connected by a breezeway, with nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms scattered throughout. Among the entertainer’s amenities, it offered a dance studio, a professional recording studio, a 20-seat theater, and a full-service bar. Lopez listed the sprawling home for $17.5 million in 2015, to no avail. It finally sold after more than two years on and off the market, for $10 million, in 2017.
Hamptons Retreat
The singer expanded her real estate reach in 2013 with the purchase of an ultraprivate $10 million home in the Hamptons. The 8,660-square-foot property features eight bedrooms, as well as a pool, sauna, steam room, home theater, and play areas for her twins. Lopez still owns this home.
Manhattan Penthouse
In 2014, Lopez shelled out $20 million for an exclusive penthouse in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, overlooking Madison Square Park. The family-size unit measures 6,500 square feet, with four bedrooms, six bathrooms and ultrachic finishings including wide-plank oak floors and marble bathrooms. Adding to the home’s appeal is an additional 3,000 square feet of outdoor space spread across four terraces. The singer listed the penthouse for $27 million in 2017 but didn’t seem to have any luck in off-loading it. She put it back on the market in 2019 with a $2 million price cut and then resurfaced it again in September 2023 at just under $25 million—so far, no bites.
Bel Air Compound
Lopez purchased a Bel Air compound from actress Sela Ward in 2016 for $28 million, and it was one of her main residences for many years afterward. The lavish French country-style estate was originally designed and built by architect Samuel Marx in 1940 and has since been renovated and updated to include koi ponds, a 100-seat amphitheater, a mini golf course, and a man-made swimming pond. The superstar listed the eight-acre property for $42.5 million in early 2023 following rumors that she and Affleck were planning on an extensive renovation. She ultimately sold it for just around $34 million several months later.
Park Avenue Pad
About one year after Lopez and Alex Rodriguez began dating, the pair took a big step in their relationship with the joint purchase of a Park Avenue condo. The duo paid $15.3 million for the high-floor unit, which measures 4,000 square feet and features three bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. Less than a year after that, however, they put the home on the market, noting that they wanted more room for their blended family. They found a buyer in June 2019 and sold the condo for $17.5 million.
Malibu Beach House
The same month Lopez and Rodriguez listed their Park Avenue condo, they also snapped up a property together on the opposite coast: a $6.6 million, 4,404-square-foot Malibu beach house previously belonging to Entourage star Jeremy Piven. The three-story home featured unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean from each of its four bedrooms, with a main suite that occupied the entire top floor. The couple was rumored to have enlisted the help of Joanna Gaines to renovate the home (Lopez is a superfan of Fixer Upper), but it’s unclear whether Gaines actually had a hand in reimagining the couple’s home. Lopez and Rodriguez ultimately flipped it back onto the market in July 2020. They sold it for $6.775 million less than two months later.
Encino Investment
Lopez bought her most low-key home during the pandemic—a $1.4 million single-story home in Encino—but it’s likely that she’ll never live there. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom property is reportedly either an investment property or meant for a relative.
Star Island Mansion
Her other real estate purchase of 2020, however, made major headlines. Lopez and Rodriguez put down $32.5 million on a waterfront mansion on Miami’s exclusive Star Island in August. The behemoth measures 14,762 square feet, with 10 bedrooms and 10 and a half bathrooms. In addition to a wine room, an industrial chef’s kitchen, and a wood-paneled library/den, there is also a large infinity pool, an attached hot tub, and a cabana bath out back. A 100-foot-long wooden dock provides private access to the Atlantic. The pair announced their decision to call it quits less than a year later, however, so it remains to be seen what will become of their joint real estate purchase.
Beverly Hills Rental
Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in spring 2021 and tied the knot a little over a year later, in July 2022. (The singer revealed in a Vogue interview that they began talking again when Affleck emailed her following his split from Ana De Armas). Shortly after their whirlwind courtship and subsequent courthouse ceremony, they reportedly rented a Beverly Hills mansion belonging to James Packer for an undisclosed amount. It’s believed that the couple stayed here while contemplating renovations on Lopez’s longtime Bel Air compound, which she ultimately ended up listing instead.
Beverly Hills Post Office Mansion
The pair began house-hunting for their perfect LA home in earnest in early 2023, but it took them a while to find the perfect pad. They reportedly pulled out of a deal for a massive 20,000-square-foot Bel Air estate before entering escrow for a $34.5 million brand new Pacific Palisades pad. A month later, unfortunately, it appeared that the newlyweds had pulled out of escrow yet again.
In June, the couple reportedly paid $60.9 million for a residence in LA’s Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood, a contemporary Georgian-style home that is equal parts classic and modern. The pad spans 38,000 square feet and sits on 5.2 acres with unobstructed mountain views, featuring 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. Originally built in 2000, the property underwent substantial renovations by developer Gala Asher in 2017. The couple’s new forever home includes an indoor sports complex, a home theater, a spa, wine and whiskey rooms, and a 155-foot infinity pool. No word yet on whether or not the pair are looking to expand their real estate empire further.
