    Legendary Singing Cowboy Roy Rogers’s Former L.A. Home Can Be Yours for $7.2 Million

    Roy Rogers passed away in July 1998 at age 86 with his wife and co-star Dale Evans by his side, but the beloved singing cowboy’s legacy lives on at the Los Angeles estate he once called home—not to mention via his long-running weekly TV show bearing the sign-off tune Happy Trails to You and the 90 or so movies the good guy in a white Stetson starred in throughout his lengthy career. On the market for the first time in more than half a century, the traditional residence is now up for sale in the San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks for $7.2 million.

    Owned by the “King of the Cowboys” for almost 30 years before he relocated to his final resting place at the Double-R-Bar Ranch in Apple Valley near the California city of Victorville, where the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum once stood before it was shuttered in 2009, this particular house in the desirable Longridge Estates neighborhood was built in the late 1930s and resided in by Rogers during World War II. Last sold to attorney Stephen Taylor and his wife Elizabeth back in spring 1971 for a mere $102,500, the place has been in the same family ever since.

    Resting amid a gated hillside parcel spanning a full acre, with 135 feet of “sweeping frontage” on Longridge Avenue, the wood-sided and stucco structure features four bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 5,000 square feet of decidedly dated living space on two levels. A bright blue front door opens into a wallpapered entry foyer, which flows to an expansive formal living room sporting a bay window and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace enhanced with a tiled surround.

    A dining area connects to the stone-floored kitchen, which is outfitted with ceramic countertops, a central island with a cooktop, and a breakfast nook that spills out to a large patio adorned with built-in redwood seating and a barbecue station. Other highlights include a sunroom with a bar and pool table setup, an office with an en suite bath, and a cozy wood-paneled library/den warmed by a fireplace.

    The formal powder blue-hued living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a tiled surround.

    An upstairs primary suite comes with a fireplace, Juliet balconies, a separate lounge, a walk-in closet, and a bath flaunting dual vanities and a step-up soaking tub. And rounding it all out are the greenery-encased grounds, which are showcased by a large swimmer’s pool encircled by a sundeck, as well as a spacious cabana. There’s also an attached 1,075-square-foot garage with room for up to four vehicles.

    Per the listing, which is held by Donovan Healey of Coldwell Banker Realty and comes with plans to build a new modern house on the site, the true value of the property lies in its land, location, and limitless potential. “Whether restored, reimagined or rebuilt entirely,” Healey said, “this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a world-class estate in a setting rich with history and charm.”

    Most remembered for his harmonious voice and crinkly expression and, of course, his golden palomino pal Trigger, the Ohio native recorded hits such as Tumbling Tumbleweeds and Cool Water with the Sons of the Pioneers trio before getting his big break as the star of the 1938 film Under Western Stars. He went on to have his biggest hit as a solo artist in 1946 with My Chickashay Gal, and also took part in touring rodeos, marketed clothes and toys, and even had a restaurant chain named after him.

    Rogers was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame twice, first in 1980 as a member of the original Sons of the Pioneers, and again in 1988 as an individual. In 2025, the U.S. Library of Congress added Happy Trails to the National Recording Registry, a list of audio recordings deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Dale, who he married in 1947 and called his “sweetheart and hunting and fishing partner all wrapped up into one,” passed away three years after him in 2001.

    Vanessa Hudgens’s Former L.A. Home Just Hit the Market for $4.4 Million

    Six years ago, Vanessa Hudgens sold a custom-built home in Los Angeles for nearly $3.2 million after just two months on the market, albeit for 20 percent less than her original $3.9 million asking price. Now the actress, singer, and entrepreneur’s former pad in the San Fernando Valley community of Studio City has returned to the market, this time for a speck under $4.4 million. Michael J. Okun in the Sherman Oaks office of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.

    The High School Musical alum acquired the Mediterranean-inspired spread in 2008 shortly after it was built for $2.75 million when she was only 19 years old and lived there until 2019. Sited on a hillside parcel in the Wrightwood Estates neighborhood, the multi-level white stucco and terracotta-roof dwelling sits atop a street-level three-car garage and features five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 5,300 square feet laced with Moorish and Moroccan touches.

    The fireside sitting room has French doors spilling out to the backyard.

    A curving set of steps leads up to the carved wood front door, which opens into a double-height foyer displaying a striking curving staircase. From there, a formal sitting room has French doors spilling out to the backyard and a two-way fireplace that connects on the other side to a formal dining room boasting a gold-leaf ceiling and a horseshoe-shaped doorway accented with wrought iron grillwork. An adjacent kitchen is outfitted with sage-hued cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end appliances, and a window-lined breakfast nook.

    Other main-level highlights include a fireside family room with built-in cabinetry and a tiered movie theater. The upper level holds a primary suite sporting a mosaic-tiled two-way fireplace, a private balcony, an office space, and an inviting bath equipped with a spa tub and steam shower. Outdoors, the resort-like grounds span over a third of an acre and host a freeform pool with a spillover spa and waterfall, plus a terrace that’s ideal for alfresco entertaining with a barbecue station.

    Neve Campbell and JJ Feild List Their Charming Colonial Home in L.A. for $4.3 Million

    It’s been almost five years since Neve Campbell and JJ Feild picked up a Los Angeles home in the leafy San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Sherman Oaks. Now the Scream star and her longtime acting partner have decided to hand over the keys to their traditional Colonial-style digs, asking a speck under $4.3 million. Richard Yohon of Sotheby’s International Realty and Konstantine Valissarakos of Nourmand & Associates share the listing. 

    The couple—she famous for her turns as Sidney Prescott in the horror film franchise Scream and Julia Salinger on the TV series Party of Five, and he known for movies such as Captain America: The First Avenger and Austenland—acquired the property in 2020 for $2.8 million. Originally built in the mid-1920s, the traditional clapboard-sided residence was extensively remodeled by a previous owner in 2017 and has since undergone some recent updates by Campbell and Feild.

    Comprising a sloping hillside parcel spanning over a third of an acre, the walled and gated compound features a street-level garage with room for three vehicles out front, with a newly added elevator leading to the two-story main home up above. A walkway passes through the manicured lawn before emptying out at a columned brick porch outfitted with an idyllic swing chair and a bright blue front door that opens into 4,500 square feet of living space boasting five bedrooms and six baths.

    Wide-plank hardwood floors throughout the main level flow to formal living and dining rooms, both sporting French doors spilling outside. A fireside family room and a breakfast nook connect to an all-white gourmet kitchen outfitted with a swath of high-end stainless appliances, while a traditional staircase off the foyer heads to an upper-level primary suite containing a fireplace, a private balcony, a pair of walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glassy shower.

    The resort-like backyard is ideal for entertaining with a large pool, cedar sauna, and changing rooms.

    ‘Saved by the Bell’ Alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s Former L.A. Home Lists for $5.5 Million

    Shortly before the TV show Franklin & Bash, on which he played lawyer Peter Bash, was canceled after four seasons in late 2014, Mark-Paul Gosselaar plunked down $2.3 million for a Los Angeles home in the San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks.

    The veteran actor—probably still best known after all these years for his 1990s role as teen heartthrob Zack Morris on Saved by the Bell—wound up selling the place in early 2022 in an off-market deal for $5.3 million, turning a tidy $3 million profit in the process. Now the French Country-style digs are available again, this time with a $5.5 million price tag. Heather Altman and Casey Gamm of The Altman Brothers Team at Douglas Elliman hold the listing.

    One of just seven properties tucked away at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac offering picturesque views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the two-story stucco and stone structure is fronted by an attached three-car garage. Inside, five bedrooms and five baths are spread across nearly 5,800 square feet of remodeled living space boasting wide-plank European white oak floors, arched doorways, and wrought-iron details, plus an automated smart-home system.

    Double doors open into the split-level entry foyer, which steps up to a coffered-ceiling living room with decorative wallpaper, a fireplace, and French doors spilling out to the backyard. There’s also a formal dining area and an all-white kitchen sporting top-notch Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances, a blue-hued eat-in island for a pop of color, and a window-lined breakfast nook with banquette seating.

    The mountain-view backyard hosts a pool and spa flanked by an alfresco dining terrace.

    Other main-level highlights include a fireside primary suite that has a separate office and a marble-clad bath, as well as a movie theater and a guest bedroom with its own bath. The lower level has three additional en-suite bedrooms, a flexible bonus room, and a mirrored gym, while the manicured grounds span almost half an acre and host a solar-heated pool and spa flanking a pergola-shaded terrace that’s ideal for alfresco entertaining with a full kitchen.

    After his career-spurring turn on Saved by the Bell, the 51-year-old California native went on to appear in several TV shows and films, including NYPD Blue, Franklin & Bash, Pitch, Mixed-ish, Dead Man on Campus, Beer Money, and Sticks and Stones. He reprised his role as Zack Morris in a Saved by the Bell reboot in 2020, and he’s currently starring in the NBC crime drama series Found. An avid thrill-seeker, he’s also a sports car enthusiast, race car driver, track cyclist, dirt biker, Jui Jitsu practitioner, and licensed pilot.

    Nicollette Sheridan Relists Her French Country-Style Estate in SoCal for $13 Million

    More than a year after it first hit the market with a nearly $16 million price tag, Nicollette Sheridan’s longtime residence in the gated Los Angeles enclave of Hidden Hills has lingered on the market with no takers. But now it’s popped up for sale again with a substantially reduced $13 million ask, which is around $3 million less than the veteran TV and film actress originally wanted for the place in summer 2023.

    Sheridan and her ex-fiancé, the singer Michael Bolton, paid singer Melissa Etheridge and her wife Tammy Lynn Michaels $4.3 million for the San Fernando Valley spread back in spring 2008. Originally built in the 1970s, the two-story structure rests amid a gated hilltop parcel spanning almost four acres and offers six bedrooms and seven baths in 7,500 square feet of recently renovated living space boasting a mix of limestone and wide-plank French oak floors paired with vaulted wood-beam ceilings.

    The formal living room has French doors that open out to a covered patio.

    Especially standing out on the main level are formal living and dining rooms with French doors spilling out onto a covered patio. Other highlights include a wet bar-equipped family room warmed by a fireplace and a wood-paneled office, plus a gourmet kitchen outfitted with a marble-topped island, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, butler and silver pantries, and a window-lined breakfast nook sporting a built-in banquette. 

    The amenities continue upstairs, where a posh primary suite comes complete with a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath hosting a pedestal spa tub, a steam shower, and a sauna; and outdoors, the picturesque mountain- and city-view grounds are surrounded by equestrian amenities and riding trails and hold a tennis court, a gym, a pool and spa, and a kitchen with an imported Italian pizza oven. There’s also a separate guest suite with its own stairway entrance and a three-car garage.

    In addition to a pool and spa, the grassy backyard hosts an outdoor kitchen equipped with a pizza oven imported from Italy.

    Per the listing, which is held by Shen Schulz of Sotheby’s International Realty, Sheridan is doubling down on trying to sell because she wants her aging horses to live in heaven on earth and frolic to their heart’s content. “As much as I love my home, it is time for us to move on,” she said in a statement. “We will be moving to a farm that allows us the freedom of green pastures and many more furry and feathery friends to accompany us on our new adventures.”

    Comedian Whitney Cummings Is Seeking $13 Million for Her Suburban L.A. Estate

    After nearly six years of ownership, Whitney Cummings has decided to part ways with her Mediterranean-style estate just outside Los Angeles. Records show the standup comedian has stuck a nearly $13 million price tag on the stylishly revamped spread, which is tucked away in a remote gated enclave of the San Fernando Valley.

    Though the asking price is almost $9 million more than the $4.3 million she doled out for the circa-2004 home back in 2019, Cummings completely remodeled the premises during her tenure in collaboration with designer Jake Arnold. Out went the nightclub-esque decor, and in came what Architectural Digest described as a “Santa Fe–meets–monastery–inspired” style with a total of five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 6,800 square feet of warm and textured living space boasting a mix of hardwood and stone floors, high ceilings accented with reclaimed barn beams, and French doors leading outside.

    A high ceiling dotted with salvaged barn beams crowns the fireside living room.

    Sequestered behind gates at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure is perched atop a four-acre parcel overlooking sweeping mountain vistas. Inside, an entry foyer displaying a striking plaster spiral staircase flows to a light-filled living room highlighted by a masonry fireplace, while the elegant dining room connects to a gourmet kitchen decked out with custom cabinetry, an eat-in island topped with Blue Louise stone, high-end stainless appliances, and a breakfast nook.

    Elsewhere is an inviting den sporting a fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, as well as a bookshelf-lined library and a posh primary suite flaunting a private balcony, a separate seating area, and a spa-inspired bath spotlighted by a Belgian soaking tub. Outdoors, the olive tree-laced grounds host several alfresco lounging and entertaining spots enhanced by a pool and spa, swinging sofas, a fire pit, and a bar setup, along with a spacious motor court and a driveway that passes through a porte-cochère on its way to the two-car garage.

    In the backyard, the pool and an adjacent fire pit conversation area are enveloped in lush greenery.

    Adding to the home’s allure is the property’s setting amid a hollow that protects it from the Santa Ana winds, according to the listing held by Adam Rosenfeld and Jon Grauman of The Agency, which also notes there is a Los Angeles Fire Department helipad nearby.

    A native of Washington, D.C., the 42-year-old humorist and actress appeared in her first standup special, Money Shot, on Comedy Central back in 2010 and went on to create and star in the self-titled sitcom Whitney, which aired on NBC for two seasons between 2011 and 2013. Probably best known for co-creating and co-writing the hit CBS comedy 2 Broke Girls, she also hosts a popular podcast titled Good for You.

    A Hollywood Agent’s Secluded Home in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley Lists for $3.5 Million

    A rambling residence hidden down a long, gated driveway that passes over a wooden bridge in L.A.’s largely unsung Woodland Hills suburb near the eastern edge of the San Fernando Valley has come to market for a buck under $3.5 million. Elizabeth Benichou of Douglas Elliman and Dustin Benichou of Devorah B. Homes share the listing.

    Tax records show the seller as Rick Greenstein, a prominent Hollywood agent and a senior partner at Gersh, who represents a who’s who of comedians, including Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, John Oliver, Drew Carey, and Kevin Nealon. The recently married Tinseltown power broker is looking to more than double his money on the secluded property he scooped up in 2019 for $1.55 million.

    Vaulted ceilings and a vintage brick fireplace are highlights in the family room.

    The home dates to 1937, when it was built in the Craftsman style, and a 2010 renovation and expansion brought the cottage to a comfortable 4,177 square feet. Stone-walled steps swoop up through a custom-lit, park-like setting from the motor court to an inviting, trellis-covered porch, and throughout the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home are four fireplaces, a combination of cherry, beechwood, and light oak floorboards, stained glass windows and doors, and period lighting fixtures. 

    There’s a small office off to one side of the step-down living and dining room, while the other side of the rectangular space connects to a skylight-topped solarium that spills onto a terrace alongside a waterfall-fed koi pond stocked with 30-year-old koi that have been cared for by the same aquarist for their entire lives. Greenstein is willing to let the fish remain if the new owner commits to their care.

    Waterfalls tumble down the verdant hillside into a koi pond in the backyard.

    At the opposite end of the home, atop a two-car garage, is the well-equipped center-island kitchen and a nearby breakfast room with a walk-in wine cellar. Just off the kitchen, a bar area connects to a light-filled family room capacious enough to accommodate a raised platform with a baby grand piano.

    The terraced gardens across the 0.6-acre property are drought-tolerant with a variety of exotic plants that bloom at various times throughout the year. Along with the plunge pool-sized koi pond, there’s a built-in grill, an alfresco dining terrace under a canopy of trees, and a trellis-covered deck that wraps around the family room. Under strands of overhead lights, a brick terrace has a fire pit, and a decked area has a spa. Set higher up on the hillside is a discrete dog run and, even higher, a pavilion outfitted as a gym that’s set in the treetops.

    Tax records show that Greenstein and his wife recently acquired a pair of small, adjacent units in a distinguished prewar cooperative apartment house in New York City’s Gramercy Park neighborhood.
