Joaquin Phoenix keeps his homes as private as his personal life. The well-known actor once allowed his homes to be used as filming locations for the 2010 mockumentary I’m Still Here, where he portrayed a fictionalized version of himself pursuing a rap career. Phoenix avoids social media and rarely discusses his personal life with the media. Where does Joaquin Phoenix reside? As he returns to the screen as the Joker alongside Lady Gaga in the 2019 film’s sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, we explore some known facts about the acclaimed actor’s real estate holdings.
SoHo Loft
Phoenix and his former brother-in-law, Casey Affleck, once co-owned a New York City loft. The two actors reportedly purchased the loft as a “crash pad” in the Big Apple. The loft, spanning approximately 2,400 square feet, featured high ceilings, exposed brick, and concrete floors. Situated on the seventh floor of an eight-story building constructed in 1911, the loft has also been inhabited by notable figures like singer Michael Stipe, actress Kirsten Dunst, and director Gus Van Sant. Phoenix and Affleck used the loft as a filming location for I’m Still Here, which was directed by Affleck. The co-op unit was listed for sale in 2017 for approximately $3.9 million and finally sold for around $3.1 million in 2020.
Los Angeles Home
Since 2006, Joaquin Phoenix has called a home in the Hollywood Hills his primary residence. The 1929 house, purchased for about $4.8 million, sits on a 2.9-acre lot and boasts approximately 3,800 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Details about the property are scarce, but it has been described as a “mission-style bungalow” in a Vanity Fair profile. Phoenix showcased the property in I’m Still Here, revealing canyon and city views, a backyard swimming pool, lush landscaping, and space for growing vegetables. The film also offers glimpses of a brick patio, colorful tiles, beamed ceilings, and a bedroom with a fireplace and balcony.
