‘The King of Queens’ Star Leah Remini Slashes the Price of Her L.A. Pad by $1.5M

Leah Remini just lowered the price of her swanky Studio City, CA, home by $1,500,000.

The star of TV’s “The King of Queens” and the “Old School” film initially listed the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home in September 2022 for $12,995,000. After a contingent offer fell through, she reduced the price by $500,000 in October 2023. It dropped to $11,999,000 in January 2024.

Here’s hoping the new price of $10,500,000 will attract a buyer.

(Realtor.com)

The 10,100-square-foot home in the Lockridge Estates of Fryman Canyon was built in 2001. Remini purchased it for $3,750,000 in 2003.

The 1.5-acre gated lot in a cul-de-sac includes an infinity pool, a putting green, and a guesthouse.

The main residence has a grand foyer with a staircase and a 20-foot ceiling. The study features custom built-ins and wainscoting.

The formal living room has a vaulted ceiling, a wet bar, and double doors to the backyard.

The formal dining room offers custom millwork and an oversized picture window with garden views. The kitchen is equipped with a curved counter, a center island with a sink, and a breakfast nook with a window.

The second floor has four bedrooms and a home theater. The primary suite comes with a sitting area, dual bathrooms, and multiple terraces.

Other noteworthy features include a laundry room, a second-floor family room, a glam room, and three fireplaces.

The monthly homeowners association fee is $1,000.

On her 2014 reality show, “Leah Remini: It’s All Relative,” the actress shared a peek of her elegant estate.

Remini, 53, got her start in Hollywood as Charlie in the popular 1980s sitcom “Who’s the Boss?” She also had recurring roles in “Saved by the Bell” and “Evening Shade,” before taking on the role of Carrie Heffernan in “The King of Queens” from 1998 until 2007. Remini became the host of the Game Show Network series “People Puzzler” in 2021.

15 Pictures of the Most Glamorous 1950s Celebrities at Home

By Charlotte Collins

If only Open Door videos had been around during the heydays of 1950s celebrities like Audrey Hepburn and Lucille Ball . Judging by the fun lounging-around-the-house photo shoots that 1950s A-listers from Clark Gable to Jayne Mansfield have left behind, it seems as though the biggest names in Hollywood loved inviting the camera into their home lives about as much as the cameras loved them. If vintage style or golden age starlets and leading men are your thing, step back in time with 15 old-school cool images of ’50s stars at home.

Jayne Mansfield

“All my life, I’ve dreamed of a place full of cupids and angels and hearts,” Mansfield once said. It seems she got her wish in the Mediterranean-style LA manse she shared with actor and bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay (their daughter is Law and Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay ), designed by Glenn Holse, who had also designed her Las Vegas nightclub show. The Girl Can’t Help It star’s affinity for rosy hues and high femme aesthetics earned the home its moniker, “the Pink Palace .” Her bathroom’s floors, ceilings, and walls were swathed in pink shag, and a heart-shaped tub spelled out a romantic message from Hargitay to his wife: “I love you Jaynie,” in gold-leaf mosaic script.

Clark Gable

About 20 miles from Hollywood, the town’s so-called “King” Gable kept a 20-acre Encino, California, ranch with his fifth wife, Kay Williams. He had originally purchased the place with third spouse, Carole Lombard, though he maintained the dwelling years after her death until his own, nearly two decades later in 1960. According to a 1990 AD feature , the home’s second floor comprised of two adjoining primary suites—Gable’s decked out in brown and beige, and the space originally for Lombard in blue and white.

Marilyn Monroe

The iconic Some Like It Hot bombshell played host to members of the press for a soiree at the Los Angeles abode where she was staying in 1956, the same year she married playwright Arthur Miller. Monroe reportedly lived at over 40 different addresses in her 36 years. She became a homeowner for the first time after purchasing her 1920s Brentwood, LA hacienda, where she died in 1962.

Lucille Ball

The I Love Lucy actor and comedian maintained a Southern California ranch home on five bucolic acres of San Fernando Valley property. Dubbed “Desilu Ranch,” a portmanteau of Ball’s and her husband Desi Arnaz’s names, the Devonshire Street dwelling cost the power couple around $16,000 in 1941. The pair kept a number of animals on the sprawling estate, including a cow called the Duchess of Devonshire and a number of chickens. “She’d fall in love with the chickens and wouldn’t kill them,” said I Love Lucy writer and Ball’s friend Madelyn Pugh Davis. “She had the oldest chickens in the Valley.”

By Vaishnavi Nayel Talawadekar

By Joyce Chen

Brigitte Bardot

Today, the 89-year-old actor, singer, and animal rights activist reportedly lives in a lavish Saint Tropez villa. In the 1950s, the starlet and ballerina called a charming Paris apartment home.

Natalie Wood

Wood, her parents, and her sister, Lana, moved around throughout California’s San Fernando Valley in her early career as a teenage movie star. The young actor lived with her family in a stucco-and-stone ’50s modern three-bedroom as she rose to prominence through films like Rebel Without a Cause . Per an April 2000 AD feature , Wood’s bedroom suite hosted a large double bed, a private bathroom, a dressing room, and a sitting area.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward

Academy Award–winning duo Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward opened their home to cameras on several occasions throughout their 50 years of marriage. Pictured here, the two hosted journalist Edward Murrow for his Person to Person celebrity interview show in their 11th Street abode in New York’s Greenwich Village. The actors’ Beverly Hills rental , a Colonial Revival–style four-bedroom, made a cozy set for a New York Daily News photo shoot in 1962.

Audrey Hepburn

The Belgian-born Roman Holiday star kept a New York City apartment, pictured here in 1954 shortly before the release of her romantic comedy Sabrina. She resided in England, the Netherlands, and California throughout her life, but Hepburn’s 1961 role in the screen adaptation of Truman Capote ’s novella Breakfast at Tiffany ’s would make the Oscar winner a symbol of the Big Apple.

Bronx-born Mineo found his Hollywood breakthrough with his supporting role in the iconic James Dean drama Rebel Without a Cause. Pictured here is the actor painting in the kitchen of his family home in November 1955, the month after the now classic film’s release. The Mineos relocated to the New York town of Mamaroneck from the Bronx in 1956, after the young Oscar nominee bought a $200,000 residence following his early career success.

On 713 North Crescent Drive, within the coveted 90210 zip code, the singer and dancer held a housewarming party to celebrate her new Beverly Hills dwelling with stars like Clark Gable in attendance. Day, an animal rights advocate, also owned a pet-friendly hotel in picturesque seaside Carmel, California, called the Cypress Inn .

Marlon Brando

Shortly after the 30-year-old Brando won an Academy Award for his starring role in the 1954 crime drama On the Waterfront , CBS’s Person to Person aired their interview with the actor, who chatted with Murrow from his Hollywood Hills rental. “I’m up in the hills you see, way above the city,” he said on the broadcast. “I have a good vantage point here. It’s awfully nice to come out here in the evenings to have dinner at this sort of nook, especially on warm nights, when the desert wind comes up over the hills.”

Eartha Kitt

The activist and triple-threat entertainer from South Carolina opened her Manhattan home on Riverside Drive to cameras for a 1954 feature on CBS’s Person to Person. Kitt’s 13-floor penthouse reportedly marked the “Santa Baby” singer’s very first solo abode.

His unique headboard was not the “I’ll Be Seeing You” singer’s only musically-themed decor. In classic over-the-top Liberace fashion, the star’s piano-shaped pool was bordered by a row of black-and-white keys in homage to the instrument that made him an icon.

Elizabeth Taylor

The violet-eyed British American movie star , pictured here in 1950, grew up in Hampstead, London, before relocating to California. Taylor lived in a red roof-tiled Spanish-style Beverly Hills house for about a decade, up until her wedding to hotel heir Conrad “Nicky” Hilton Jr., at the age of 18. After a brief marriage, she moved into her own LA apartment and divided her time between that residence and the London home of Michael Wilding, whom she married in 1952.

Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis

When the actors (parents to Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis ) wed in 1951, they bought a Beverly Hills estate that Leigh “furnished like her own dollhouse,” according to Hitchcock’s Blondes author Laurence Leamer. Leigh reportedly worked hard to keep the place totally spotless and impeccably ordered, “as if expecting at any moment a photographer from a fan magazine to arrive to shoot life at home with Janet and Tony,” writes Leamer in an excerpt from Blondes .

Real Estate Agents Go Hollywood

Fueled by the public’s love of reality TV and desire to view luxury homes, real estate agents are chasing fame as fervently as they chase deals.

The crowd began gathering at 5 p.m., into the movie-perfect backyard of a 1920s Spanish-style Los Angeles estate once owned by Madonna. The air was so soft and eucalyptus-scented you could wrap yourself in it. Glasses clinked. The pool glinted in the slinking sun. In the Santa Monica Mountains above, the Hollywood sign gleamed like a row of perfectly capped teeth.

Into that golden light stepped Mauricio Umansky, fresh off his debut the night before on “Dancing With the Stars.” He made his way to a crystal podium and began cracking jokes for the attendees, who were there for a star-studded awards show.

Unlike the Oscars or the Golden Globes, these awards didn’t go to actors, directors or screenwriters. They went to real estate agents, crowned in categories like “Stratospheric Sale of the Year.” (The winner of that award was Kurt Rappaport, who represented Beyoncé and Jay-Z as they closed on a $190 million Malibu pad last May.) As a real estate broker with two seasons of “Buying Beverly Hills” and 13 seasons as a real husband on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” under his belt, Mr. Umansky was the consummate M.C. for the evening’s Power Broker Awards.

Celebrity has transfixed the real estate world. Agents in markets like Los Angeles and New York chase stardom as fervently as they chase deals.

They rose to glitzy heights during the pandemic, floating into living rooms on shows like “Million Dollar Listing,” “Million Dollar Beach House” and “Buying Beverly Hills.” Captive audiences watched agents rake in six-figure commissions and wrangle personal dramas as they listed, bought and sold some of America’s most eye-popping real estate. “Selling Sunset,” in which an ensemble cast of couture-clad agents bickers and bids in six-inch heels, premiered in 2019 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular shows.

The agents now have true staying power, fueled by viewers’ insatiable desire for reality television content and the escapism of peeking at properties they could never afford to own.

Housing affordability in the United States is at a crushing low, with skyrocketing prices, elevated mortgage rates and a lack of inventory accessible to low- and middle-income households. The dream of homeownership is more elusive for Americans than it has been in decades. According to Danielle J. Lindemann, a professor of sociology at Lehigh University and the author of “True Story: What Reality TV Says About Us,” that disconnect increases the programs’ allure, expanding the daydream of Zillow surfing by packaging it as premium content.

“Paradoxically, with these shows, we as viewers forge what’s called a parasocial relationship, which is like a friendship or personal relationship with a character on TV,” Dr. Lindemann said. “We want to see this wealth. We can live vicariously through it. You get to exist in this hyperreality where you almost get to feel like you’re a part of it.”

The most recent season of “Selling Sunset” brought in about 3.2 million streaming viewers per episode, according to Nielsen Media Research; “Buying Beverly Hills” drew 1.7 million per episode in its first season and numbers for its second season, which premiered March 22, are up about 5 percent.

For comparison, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (on which Mr. Umansky’s estranged wife, Kyle Richards, regularly discusses their relationship) peaked at 2.5 million views in its latest season.

‘Catapult My Real Estate Career’

“Every agent today is trying to get their own show,” said Alexander Ali, founder of the Society Group, a Los Angeles-based public relations firm that exclusively markets celebrity agents and their properties. “You’ll be hard-pressed to find an agent who doesn’t have social media and a P.R. strategy.”

His company represents agents who have worked with the Kardashians, Ariana Grande and Justin Timberlake — Mr. Ali calls it “the C.A.A. of real estate,” referring to the Hollywood talent agency. Three years ago, he decided to create the Power Broker Awards.

The Hollywood Reporter, which since 2017 has invested heavily in its real estate coverage, has been a co-sponsor of the awards since their inception. The magazine publishes an annual list of the top agents in Los Angeles and New York based on their sales volume, homes sold to Hollywood clients, and visibility in the media.

Three times a year, in Los Angeles, Miami and New York, Mr. Ali partners with The Wall Street Journal for an event called “Upfronts,” a sneak preview of real estate listings that top agents plan to put on the market later in the year. It is held in a film screening room and modeled after the annual presentations that television networks make to entice advertisers to their upcoming shows.

Many luxury agents now say that in a market that’s more crowded than ever, appearing on television is one of the most effective ways to stay ahead of the pack. The days when agents’ options for luring clients were limited to splashing their faces on bus-stop benches and taking out ads in the back page of the Pennysaver are long gone.

In the real estate brokerage industry, as in the housing market — where median home prices are now six times the median American income and a majority of American renters are spending more than 30 percent of their income on rent and utilities — there is a chasm between the haves and have-nots. The average agent earns $46,014 a year, according to the National Association of Realtors. Mr. Umansky’s net worth is $100 million, according to reports.

“When I decided to go on television, I said, if I’m going to do this, it’s going to be for the sake of the business and the sake of growing my name,” said Mr. Umansky, 53, in an interview.

He got his start in real estate at the firm Hilton & Hyland, which was founded, and co-owned at the time, by his brother-in-law Richard Hilton (of the Hilton Hotel dynasty). Mr. Umansky first appeared on “Real Housewives” in 2010 and then capitalized on the exposure to launch his own real estate company, the Agency, in 2011. “Buying Beverly Hills” premiered in 2022. The Agency earned $12.4 billion in sales that year — over $1 billion more than in 2021.

Some younger agents who joined television shows say they see celebrity as one of the quickest ways to build their brands. Mia Calabrese, a New York-based agent with Nest Seekers International, had only been a real estate agent for two years when she joined the Discovery+ series “Selling the Hamptons” in 2021.

“It was an opportunity to catapult my real estate career,” said Ms. Calabrese, 32. “Having the platform of being on television allows you to be exposed to so many different clients and so many different markets. It’s a selling point for my sellers. My listings are going to get more eyes than a listing with someone who’s not on television.”

How It Started

Luxury real estate voyeurism has been a fixture on television since “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” That show, which ran from 1984 to 1995, made its host, Robin Leach, a household name — and household voice. But TV real estate agents didn’t truly step into the spotlight until 2012, when “Million Dollar Listing,” already a fixture in Los Angeles, hit New York as well.

At first, that spotlight was limited. Home renovation shows, which took off in the same period, offered a faster track to fame for their leading figures, like Chip and Joanna Gaines and Drew and Jonathan Scott (a.k.a. the Property Brothers), who showed Americans how to flip average properties in a matter of weeks ( often with questionable off-camera results ).

John Gomes and Fredrik Eklund, who lead a 90-person superteam at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, were already successful brokers when Mr. Eklund joined the first season of “Million Dollar Listing New York.”

Becoming a television star was “very intentional,” Mr. Eklund said.

When he arrived in New York in the early 2000s, Mr. Eklund was already well known in his native Sweden. This was partly because of his previous career as an adult film star with the nom de porn Tag Eriksson. But it was also because he understood the invisible, influential currency that fame can deliver: He grew up in a prominent family with links to prime ministers and the film director Ingmar Bergman.

Mr. Eklund believed that his offscreen business as a real estate agent would benefit if he built the right kind of onscreen persona.

“I realized very quickly the more vulnerable and truthful and open I am with the audience, with the camera, the more of a brand in real estate I will become,” he said.

Mr. Gomes and Mr. Eklund sold more than $3.7 billion worth of real estate in 2023 and count Gigi Hadid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Daniel Craig among their clients.

Many agents who work with megastars say the key to their success is furiously safeguarding their clients’ privacy and stepping beyond the traditional role of salesperson to become more of a confidante.

Tomer Fridman, the exclusive agent of the Kardashian clan, is tight-lipped about the celebrities he works with. But he admits that his role in their lives goes far beyond real estate. At a time when Hollywood’s ultrarich are increasingly looking to become real estate moguls , Mr. Fridman acts as a financial adviser.

“You need to be a trendsetter for these clients,” he said. “You have to see the market trends and where they should be investing.”

Mr. Fridman, a real estate agent with the Jones Fridman Group at Compass, resisted going on television for more than a decade, despite his A-list clientele. But he, too, is now shopping around a pilot for an as-yet-untitled reality television show.

After the Power Broker Awards wrapped, the attendees loaded into Ubers and headed to the Hollywood Hills for an after-party at the Californication House, a $38 million custom-built James Bond-inspired mansion with a fire pit sunken inside its infinity pool. The house was built on spec — that is, without a particular buyer in mind — by Branden and Rayni Williams , a real estate power couple whose client list reads like a string of TMZ news alerts: Jennifer Lopez, Bruce Willis and Jane Fonda, to name a few.

The Williamses designed the 13,000-square-foot house and oversaw its construction and design, including a secret nightclub tucked on its lower level and a $40,000 custom rotating round bed. The after-party — attended by a who’s who of Los Angeles real estate — doubled as an open house for the property.

Among the guests was the “Selling Sunset” star Jason Oppenheim, who runs the luxury brokerage the Oppenheim Group alongside his twin brother, Brett, and whose romantic life is regular featured on the show. Standing on one of the Californication House’s many glass-enclosed balconies as Los Angeles glittered below, Mr. Oppenheim said he hoped his fame was helping average Americans see real estate as a path toward growing their own incomes.

“To the extent that I’ve helped attract people to real estate, I’m proud,” he said. “For me, real estate is the most exciting thing in the world and it’s great for generating wealth for people.”

Out of the Spotlight

Some agents who have been on television say that the bright lights came with an uncomfortable glare.

Aaron Kirman was a regular on CNBC’s “Secret Lives of the Super Rich” when the network offered him his own program, “Listing Impossible.” The show aired in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, but was not renewed after its first season.

Mr. Kirman, chief executive of Christie’s International Real Estate California, said he loved being the star of his own series, but from a financial perspective, it wasn’t worth it.

“I really wanted TV, and I fought to get on TV,” he said. “But it took time away from my business, and I lost millions of dollars in listings as a result.”

Mr. Kirman said he was open to appearing on another program in the future, but wasn’t chasing the idea. He is focused on his listings, which include an eight-bed, 20-bath estate in Beverly Hills listed for $126 million.

Josh Altman has been appearing on “Million Dollar Listing” since 2011, often alongside his brother, Matthew. He said he considers the time he spends filming to be a savvy investment in his career.

“We keep doing the show because it’s another advertising tool for us, the same way you would pay to be in certain magazines,” he said. “It opened a lot of doors for us.”

But he doesn’t credit his success to being on TV. If anything, he says, the opposite is true. Mr. Altman says that the Altman Brothers — the siblings’ real estate group at Douglas Elliman — sells more than $1 billion in real estate each year.

“The show didn’t make us,” he said. “We made the show.”

An earlier version of this article misstated the ownership of Hilton & Hyland, the real estate firm where Mauricio Umansky began his career. It was co-owned by Richard Hilton when Mr. Umansky started, but no longer is.

The State of Real Estate

Whether you’re renting, buying or selling, here’s a look at real estate trends..

Courts allow co-op boards significant power over building finances, including assessments — if the fees are in “good faith.” Do you have to pay  what they say?

Agents in South Carolina, the fastest growing state in the country  last year, say that many newcomers are Republicans eager to leave the Northeast and West Coast.

When St. Francis College moved to its modern Brooklyn Heights campus in 1963, giving up an older South Brooklyn location, its yearbook heralded the new site with pomp and self-satisfaction. Here’s how eight feet jolted a $180 million  real estate deal.

David Saint, a theater director and a producer  of the 2021 film version of “West Side Story,” is selling his duplex with a wraparound terrace in the East Village.

Hundreds of bicyclists are blessed at nyc church ahead of 5 boro bike tour on sunday.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Hundreds of bicyclists packed the Cathedral of St. John the Divine Saturday morning to have their rides blessed before they embark on a 40-mile journey through the city for the 5 Boro Bike Tour Sunday.

Rev. Patrick Malloy led the 26th annual non-denominational service at the Morningside Heights cathedral. Riders, many in helmets and racing gear, gathered alongside their bikes to be splashed with holy water.

The cathedral welcomes bikers, skaters, scooter-riders and “users of self-propelled vehicles” of all ages to take part in the ceremony.

One woman even juggled atop a unicycle, while another rolled up on a Citi Bike.

“This is a great day,” Malloy told reporters outside the church.

“People come from all over the world. They bring so much good energy to us, so much warmth,” he said.

“Maybe the energy comes from the fact that they’re also athletic.”

The service also honored bicyclists and pedestrians killed in the past year. Bagpipes were played as a white “ ghost bike ” symbolizing those killed was rolled down the aisle.

The city Department of Transportation set up tents outside the church and fitted riders for free.

About 32,000 people will cycle 40 miles across the Big Apple starting at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, beginning in Lower Manhattan and looping through the boroughs, crossing the Queensboro, Pulaski and Verrazzano-Narrows bridges to end in Staten Island’s Fort Wadsworth Park.

Mauricio Umansky Reportedly Moves Out of Shared Home With Kyle Richards

The ‘Buying Beverly Hills’ star recently purchased a luxury condo in a new West Hollywood development.

Kyle Richards and estranged husband Mauricio Umansky are reportedly living apart as they continue to figure out what’s next in their relationship. According to Us Weekly , Mauricio, 53, has purchased a luxury condo in a new West Hollywood development. As for Kyle, 55, she is continuing to stay in her Encino home frequently seen on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills .

“Kyle and Mauricio have been living separately for the last few months,” a source told the publication. “They’ve both been traveling a lot recently, so it’s working out where they don’t stay under one roof.”

Although they don’t live together full-time, Mauricio will reportedly visit their primary residence often when Kyle is out of town. They also have homes in La Quinta, California and Aspen, Colorado.

Mauricio and Kyle surprised fans in July 2023 when they announced their separation after 27 years of marriage. The pair have yet to officially file for divorce.

“We have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage,” the reality stars shared in a joint statement via Instagram at the time. “But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately.”

In a February interview with Extra , Kyle said neither party was in a position to file for divorce saying, “We live under the same roof and we get along and we’re just trying to figure it out.”

Just last month, the estranged couple also put on a united front when they traveled to Indio, California to experience the Stagecoach Music Festival with daughters Farrah Aldjufrie , 35, Alexia Umansky , 27, and Sophia Umansky , 24. While experiencing a weekend of country music, Farrah posted a photo of the family standing shoulder to shoulder with their arms around one another. She captioned the post with a single hand-heart emoji.

Looking towards the future, fans are curious to see if Kyle will return for another season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . While Bravo has yet to officially reveal the cast, the Halloween Ends actress previously said she was undecided about coming back.

“I haven’t said anything yet,” she said in an April session of Amazon Live . “I know there are reports online that I’m not coming back, or that I am coming back. That conversation is TBD.”

7 most PRESTIGIOUS & EXPENSIVE districts in (and near) Moscow

1. Rublevka

Rublevka, simply put, is Russia’s “Beverly Hills”: home to rich, famous, and influential Russians who live in luxury, hidden behind tall fences and walls. Technically, it is located outside Moscow, some 10 kilometers to the west via the Rublevo-Uspenskoe Highway, yet the area, and its residents, are nonetheless an integral part of Russia’s capital.

Officially, there is no such an administrative unit as Rublevka. Instead, the name of the area is a social construction, popularised in mass culture as a synonym of being filthy rich, as it is one of the most expensive residential areas in the world. It is also a play of words as – you know it – the ruble is the Russian currency.

In Tsarist Russia, nobility built homes here, only to be replaced by dachas of Lenin, Stalin, and other state officials after the Bolshevik Revolution. In Soviet times, famous scientists, artists, and writers — including Mstislav Rostropovich, Andrei Sakharov, Dmitry Shostakovich — had dachas in Rublevka. Today, Rublevka is inhabited by oligarchs, multi-millionaires, and all-powerful figures. The Russian President’s official residence is in Novo-Ogaryevo – not far from Rublevka.

Although Rublevka is considered the most famous luxury residential area in the immediate vicinity of Moscow, there are many other elite villages and areas in the Moscow Region, most of which are located to the west of the capital.

2. Ostozhenka and the ‘Golden Mile’

The Golden Mile is an unofficial name for one of the most expensive residential areas in Moscow. It is a small piece of land where luxury real estate has been built. It is located between Ostozhenka Street and Prechistenskaya Embankment, a 10-15 minute walk from the Kremlin, with some of the buildings overlooking the Moscow River.

With prices up to $40,000 for a square meter, Ostozhenka is often listed among the most expensive streets in the world. Given that an average apartment there is around 240 square meters in size, the price tag for it can reach as high as $10 million or even more.

“[Before 1989], this area was abandoned, because of the planned construction of the Palace of the Soviets (which was to be built on the site of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour). The entire area was planned to be cleared to make possible the construction of a wide avenue leading to the Lenin Hills [currently known as Vorobyovy Gory],” says Alexander Skokan, an architect and a founder of the Ostozhenka Bureau.

However, the Palace of the Soviets was never built. Instead, luxury houses began to be erected there. Consequently, it may be hard to come by residents in this area, as most of the buildings have been bought for investment purposes.

3. Khamovniki

Khamovniki is the official name of a district located in central Moscow. It starts from Aleksandrovskiy Sad next to the Kremlin and spreads across to the Luzhniki Stadium and Sparrow Hills (Vorobyovy Gory) in the western part of the city.

Historically, this is where weavers used to live, who were known as ‘Khamovniki’ in the 17th century. Hence, the name of this historic district.

Today, Khamovniki is one of the most popular areas of the Russian capital among apartment buyers. Yet, it’s also one of the most expensive districts in Moscow, where one square meter of apartment costs approximately $11,000; a price tag far beyond the average in Moscow.

The Moscow River, multiple parks and numerous metro stations make this elite district ecologically clean and also easily accessible from anywhere in the city. Pre-revolutionary houses, Soviet buildings and modern projects are available on this stretch of land. Among others, one of Russia’s greatest writers Leo Tolstoy owned an estate in Khamovniki in 1882 (which is now part of his family estate).

4. Yakimanka

This is a neighboring district to Khamovniki, lying to the Southwest of the city center. Everyone who has ever been to Moscow knows Gorky Park, which covers most of the district’s territory. Yakimanka is one of the most stylish areas in Moscow and it is well known for its clubs, cocktail bars and cozy restaurants, as well as for the State Tretyakov Gallery and the Muzeon Park of Arts.

The district is also home to old factories built in the early 19th century. Most of these buildings have been rebuilt as offices. Elite real estate in this district may also cost up to $20,000 per square meter.

This is another historic and luxurious district, craved by anyone who dreams of settling in Moscow. It stretches from the Moscow Kremlin on the west to the Moscow River in the east, with New Arbat Avenue being its major artery. Here, the famous Spaso House , the residence of the U.S. ambassador to Russia since 1933, is located, as well as other historical landmarks .

As in many other districts in Moscow, Arbat has it all when it comes to real estate: pre-revolutionary houses, Soviet buildings and modern luxury apartment blocks. An average price tag for a square meter of real estate here is $10,000. Yet, naturally, you can find much more expensive housing than that in the area.

6. ‘Presnya’

The Presnensky district, as it is officially known, lies to the immediate north of the Arbat district. Although real estate here is generally not as expensive as in the above-mentioned districts, there are two especially affluent areas that make the average price tag skyrocket: Patriarch Ponds and the Moscow City business center, where the famous skyscrapers are located.

One square meter in one of the towers of the Moscow City business center can cost up to $20,000. Considering there are premium apartments that take a whole or even multiple levels, the final price can be extremely high.

7. Tverskoy, Meschansky, and Zamoskvorechye

Zamoskvorechye.

These three districts — two to the north of the Kremlin and one to the south — are all affluent areas of the city. The State Duma and the Governor-General Building (which today is the Moscow Mayor's Office), among other important buildings, are located in Tverskoy district.

These three districts are similar to each other in the sense that they lack vacant land to make major new development projects possible. Instead, a relatively small number of offers is on the market. The average price of one square meter of housing in these areas amounts to $7,300.
