Luxurious Living: Exploring the Glamour of Steven Gerrard’s Beverly Hills Neighborhood
This Beverly Hills home on 430 Robert Lane is on the market for $22 million
Ringo Starr, another famous Scouser, lives in Beverly Hills’ star-studded Trousdale Estates neighborhood.
And, if any football-crazed kids are dreaming of one day swapping Merseyside for Malibu like Stevie G, there are plenty of homes for sale in the exclusive district – for a hefty price, of course.
With Gerrard’s house costing £35,000 per month, buyers will need to come up with around $7 million to live near the Liverpool legend.
If that’s not enough, there’s also a $22 million luxury mansion with five bedrooms, a two-story guest house, a swimming pool, and two wine cellar rooms.
The bad news (aside from the high price) is that it needs to be renovated! The property, according to Gaskill and Peterson / Sotheby’s International Realty, requires renovations to become a “$ 40 million to $ 45 million masterpiece.”

Construction in the highly desirable area has gone crazy in recent years, with a massive development rush.
Developers and homeowners have been buying properties to resell at prices up to three times their purchase price, a practice known as “flipping.”
“Trousdale Estates is an amazing sub-division in Beverly Hills, just to the east of our famous Greystone Mansion,” Jimmy McGill of LA sightseeing tour agency Glitterati Tours explains.
“Ringo Starr, Jane Fonda, and David Spade are among the current residents, who include Elton John, who sold his units in the nearby Sierra Towers.”
“Previous residents have included Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox.” You could have thrown a rock from Courtney’s house and it would have landed on Jen’s roof.
“Also, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia [de Rossi] purchased a house between Ringo’s and Aniston’s before flipping it and moving to nearby Holmby Hills – they then flipped this one as well, selling it to Napster’s Sean Parker.”
“Even Elvis Presley had a home at the top of Hillcrest in Trousdale before moving on to something more private due to Lisa Marie’s birth.”
Markus ‘Notch’ Persson, the creator of Minecraft, recently made international headlines when he purchased a $70 million home that Beyonce and Jay-Z were also bidding on.
Other residents of Trousdale Estates have included Simon Cowell, Burt Reynolds, Vera Wang, Matthew Perry, and business magnate Howard Hughes.
