Where Does Jimmy Kimmel Live? Exploring His Real Estate Portfolio, Including a Property You Can Stay At

"Though he was born and raised in Brooklyn, the comedian favors Los Angeles when it comes to investing in real estate. The talk show host owns properties in the Hollywood Hills, where he maintains a compound comprised of two adjacent homes, and in Hermosa Beach, where he owns an additional pair of properties. If the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host ever decides to add an Italian villa to his real estate portfolio, it won't be too hard: He obtained Italian citizenship earlier this year,"

"In 2002, the year before his eponymous talk show premiered, Kimmel paid $925,000 for a 1947-built Hollywood Hills dwelling, according to the Los Angeles Times. It was the same year that Kimmel and his first wife, Gina Maddy, were divorced, so it makes sense that the comedian would be ready to invest in a fresh start-one that came with a great view. The 3,600-square-foot Hollywood Regency-style home overlooked the Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood sign."

"Amongst lush landscaping, a path to the entrance crossed over a water feature before leading up a red brick staircase to the front door. Five bedrooms (one of which was converted into a recording studio) and an equal number of baths were found inside the updated abode, along with formal dining and living rooms, a bar, a closet converted into an office niche, and a spa-like bathroom lined with sunny yellow tile."

Jimmy Kimmel resides in California and owns multiple properties, including a compound of two adjacent homes in the Hollywood Hills and two properties in Hermosa Beach. He purchased a 1947-built Hollywood Hills house in 2002 for $925,000; the 3,600-square-foot Hollywood Regency-style home overlooked the Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood sign. The property features lush landscaping, a water feature, a red brick entrance staircase, five bedrooms (one converted to a recording studio), five baths, formal dining and living rooms, a bar, an office niche, a spa-like yellow-tile bathroom, and a chef's kitchen with a stone island, dessert fridge, ice maker, wine fridge, and high-end appliances. Kimmel obtained Italian citizenship through his grandmother from Candida, province of Avellino.
