In 2008, Ryder sold a Lexington Avenue apartment to her neighbors for $2.2 million; it is unclear if she still owns real estate in New York City.
San Francisco Dutch Colonial
Though Ryder was born in Winona, Minnesota—the city she was named after—she grew up in the San Francisco area and eventually planted roots there. In 1995, the same year she received her second Oscar nomination for Little Women, she paid $1.3 million for a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, three-story Dutch Colonial home located in the city’s vibrant Cow Hollow neighborhood.
The 3,140-square-foot Victorian house, built in 1902, featured a formal, sunlit entryway on the main level, as well as a living room with a fireplace and bay windows, an open-concept kitchen, a dining room, and a family room. Its three bedrooms were located on the top level of the home, which boasted views of the city’s landmark Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island, and on the lower level was a laundry room, garage, and media room. The backyard included a garden and a deck area.
Before the home sold in December 2020 for just under $5 million, according to its listing, Ryder reportedly rented out the property for $15,000 per month.
Los Angeles Spanish-style house
The Stranger Things star purchased a Spanish-style home in Los Angeles for $2.5 million in 1998. Built in 1936, the Sunset Strip–area home, secluded behind a hedge of ficus trees on a third of an acre, featured four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Making the home unique were its original Malibu tiles, a curved staircase, and Art Deco bathrooms. The kitchen and breakfast room opened to a patio area complete with a pool. Though she listed the 3,765-square-foot villa for just under $4.1 million in the fall of 2010, it sold for $3,725,000, per its listing.
According to Vogue, she purchased the home from actress Rene Russo’s sister, who is also the ex-wife of Bernie Taupin, Elton John’s lyricist. “Neil Young’s Harvest was written here,” she said. “That was one of my favorite albums.” At the time, she lived there with her roommate of six years and her brother Uri. “It’s my first real house,” she told the publication. “I have a pool. I have gardeners. It’s an adult house. I definitely couldn’t live here alone.”
Rumored Hollywood Hills villa
In 2016, Ryder quietly purchased a Mediterranean villa in Hollywood Hills’ celebrity-filled Outpost Estates enclave for $2.2 million, according to multiple reports. The elite Los Angeles neighborhood, which consists of approximately 450 homes, sits between LA’s Runyon Canyon Park and the iconic Hollywood Bowl amphitheater.
Built in 1947, her 2,154-square-foot estate is said to feature three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, as well as a two-car garage. Its features include a sunroom, pool, and multiple fireplaces.
