Harry Styles has come a long way from his humble beginnings in Worcestershire, England. In the decade since he and the rest of the One Direction lads made their debut on the international music scene, he’s gone from boy band member to one-man show, holding court at Madison Square Garden and rocking out alongside the likes of Stevie Nicks and Bruce Springsteen. Styles has also gotten into the A-list pastime of building up an impressive real estate portfolio, growing the number of places that he can call home at any given point during his world tours. As for his latest album, Harry’s House, the title was both inspired by Haruomi Hosono’s 1973 album Hosono House and the sensation of actually, well, being at his house.
“When I took that title [and] put it to the songs we were making, it felt like it took on this whole new meaning,” he told Zane Lowe in an interview about the album. “It was about: ‘Okay, imagine it’s a day in my house—what do I go through? A day in my mind—what do I go through?’” Here, we’ve rounded up some of the places where Styles may have daydreamed his album into being.
2010
Styles got his big break in 2010 when he auditioned for The X Factor. Though he tried out as a solo act, he was brought on as one of five members of One Direction, and the rest, as fans can attest to, is history. Though the new bandmates quickly found success, they didn’t immediately spend all their cash. Instead, they opted to rent out a five-floor unit in Princess Park Manor, a mid-19th-century Italianate-style complex in North London built by Queen Victoria. The imposing property was originally used as an asylum, but had been converted into luxury apartments in recent years. It’s unknown how much Styles or his bandmates paid for their stay there.
2012
Styles’s first real estate purchase was a $4.8 million white stucco house in the pastoral, suburban North London area of Hampstead Heath. The 2,300-square-foot residence sits behind high walls and gates for maximum privacy and boasts four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. French doors, hardwood floors, and skylights give the space a touch of both countryside charm and contemporary airiness. A home gym with a skylight and a primary suite with its own dressing room round out the home’s modest yet modern offerings. The back garden is fully landscaped. The singer still owns this property.
2014
Styles made his move stateside when he plunked down $4 million for a unique post-and-beam, midcentury-modern home in Beverly Hills. Designed by architect Alejandro Ortiz, the tree house-esque mansion measured 3,000 square feet, with five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, wood beam ceilings, and a tree-lined walkway connecting different parts of the property. Floor-to-ceiling windows let the outdoors in, and a sunken deck leading to a massive saltwater pool helped add to the tropical vibe of the place. There was even a detached guest bungalow for out-of-town pals to crash. Styles didn’t hold onto the bachelor pad for long, however. He sold it for $3.2 million in 2016, though, given his career’s trajectory, he likely wasn’t hurting too badly from the slight loss.
2016
The singer’s next home was a Sunset Strip stunner. He paid $6.9 million for the ultramodern pad, which boasted glass walls that opened completely onto terraces with views of both the Sunset Strip and the Pacific Ocean. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion had a home movie theater, a chef’s kitchen, a penthouse primary suite, and a kidney-shaped pool and spa. During his tenure there, Styles made some upgrades to the house, adding in a high-end audio system (the better to play his music with) and giving the living- and dining-area floors an alabaster finish. He put the 4,400-square-foot residence on the market for $8.5 million in 2017 but had to slash the price a few times before finally off-loading it at a slight loss (he sold it at $6 million) two years later.
2017
With the sale of the Sunset Strip home, Styles officially departed the West Coast, next snapping up an $8.7 million Tribeca penthouse. (The unit was purchased through a trust. His neighbors in the building include a who’s who of Hollywood, including Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Lawrence, and Justin Timberlake. Though not much is known about the unit—the place is notoriously paparazzi-proof—it’s safe to assume that, like other condos in the building, the home measures around 3,000 square feet and features three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Styles still owns the penthouse.
2019
Styles doubled down on his Hampstead Heath holdings by buying a neighboring home for $10.9 million. And the following year he put down $5.5 million for the house next door to the second one. Very little is known about these two properties, and the famously private star has yet to confirm whether or not he’s hoping to construct a massive multibuilding mega-compound from the three structures, though reports have speculated that this might be the case. Other A-list stars who call Hampstead Heath home include Benedict Cumberbatch, Helena Bonham Carter, and Ricky Gervais.
2021
New year, new pad. Styles was linked to Olivia Wilde in early 2021, and the two appeared to get real serious real quick. Though they haven’t purchased anything together, the photogenic pair reportedly shacked up at Styles’s manager Jeff Azoff’s Hollywood Hills home while working together on Wilde’s new movie, Don’t Worry Darling. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom midcentury-modern residence is low-key compared to some of Styles’s previous digs, measuring 1,378 square feet, with a pool and spa. The couple also reportedly rented a chic five-bedroom house in Los Feliz for $10,000 a month.
