It’s Curtains For Chris Brown In Hollywood Hills

Chris Brown has dumped and been dumped when it comes to the dating game, but this time, the embattled singer is dumping his modern home in Hollywood Hills. He has it listed for $1.92 million.

The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom abode is one of at least two Los Angeles-area homes where Brown’s fast cars, graffiti art and parties made him unpopular with the neighbors. The president of the Hollywood Dell Civic Association once told the L.A. Times that Brown’s graffiti tags were devilishly frightening – and bad for property values. Hollywood Hills home values currently hit at a median of $1,371,800.

With the house at 2738 Rinconia Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90068 on the market, all signs of Brown’s boisterous tenure are gone. No cars, no more graffiti, no more Rihanna sightings – probably because Brown’s ex has listed her own L.A.-area home for rent and made a move to New York City.

Brown’s home spans 3,000 square feet and is suited for entertaining. There’s an elevator, custom LED lighting, high ceilings, walls of glass and “exotic stones.” The house also includes a saltwater pool, spa and sand pit as well as an outdoor patio with fire pits, stone waterfalls and a projection screen.

Brown is also trying to unload his home in West Hollywood. The condo is currently listed for $1.695 million, down from the original list price of $1.895 million back in May 2012.

Not far from the land of Gatsby, Carson Daly has settled on some new digs for his family now that he has landed a new gig in New York City.

Daly has bought a 6,034-square-foot home in tony Manhasset, about 25 miles east of the Big Apple on the north shore of Long Island. The producer and all-around entertainment personality decided that Long Island would be a good place for his two young children.

Built in 2005, the traditional colonial boasts 6 bedrooms, a curving staircase, several fireplaces and ornate moldings and a swimming pool sunk in the 1.3-acre estate. The home had been listed for $6.499 million. The good news is that if Daly wants to be a regular Long Island commuter, Manhasset is right on the Long Island Rail Road train line. All aboard!

Alex Rodriguez is in the middle of one of sports’ biggest legal battles, but he still had time to buy and, now, list an apartment in Miami.

This summer, Major League Baseball suspended the perennial All-Star and occasional MVP for 211 games due to A-Rod’s alleged association with a Florida clinic where performance-enhancing drugs were sold. A-Rod is fighting back with a counter lawsuit, which is scheduled to go to trial in New York in February.

However, while he waits to battle MLB “destroying his reputation, ruining his endorsement deals and making it impossible for him to finish his Yankees contract” Rodriguez has re-listed the Miami condo he bought this past summer. The price is $3.2 million, just about $1 million more than he paid before renovating the unit. The real estate market is pretty strong in Miami Beach; the median home price is $339,300 and there are over 3,500 homes currently on the market.

The condo is in the Mei Building on Millionaire’s Row in Miami Beach at 5875 Collins Ave. The place is loaded with amenities, including an enormous fitness center, spa, infinity pool, 24-hour concierge and valet parking. A-Rod’s unit 3 bedrooms and 4 baths on a 1,725-square-foot floor plan. Wraparound balconies have views of the ocean.
