Today, Vanessa Hudgens turns 34, so in honor of her birthday, let’s take a look at her life, and some of the awesome people in her life who might be wishing her a happy birthday!
Current Los Angeles Home
Vanessa dropped $7.5 million earlier this year on a new mansion in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. The home was originally built in the 1960s, but was completely redone this year, giving the home all the current styles and upgrades someone like Vanessa would love.
It has about 7,500 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and five bathrooms, and multiple balconies, patios, an infinity pool, and more spread out over the 1.25 acre property.
First LA Home
Vanessa must really like Studio City. Her first major real estate purchase was just around the corner from her newest buy, literally. She bought this smaller home in 2008, and while she moved on to a bigger home awhile ago, she didn’t sell this home until 2019. She put it on the market for about $3.85 million, more than a million more than she paid for it a decade earlier.
From the beginning, her real estate flair was obvious, as she made several well-planned design upgrades, including painting the exterior a more modern and appealing white.
Los Feliz House
Vanessa, ever on the move, bought this Los Feliz house in 2018 for about $5 million, and immediately set about making upgrades and alterations. She did a complete overhaul of the kitchen, involving a famous designer to upgrade the master suite, and adding “feminine” touches throughout the home.
She sold the house to Jon Lovett and Ronan Farrow for about $6.7 million in an off-the-books sale in 2022, certainly making a tidy profit in the process.
East High School, from High School Musical
In 2006, Disney released High School Musical, one of the most famous teen shows produced on the network. It was an immediate success, and a second and third film followed quickly. The main actors quickly became stars.
Many of the scenes from the films were done at East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah. The 100-year old structure was rebuilt in 1997. An incredible number of famous people have walked through these halls, including Roseanne Barr, Elizabeth Smart, multiple US representatives, a governor, and two astronauts!
Ashley Tisdale’s Recent Sale
Ashley Tisdale was right there with Vanessa as the two girls shot to stardom in the High School Musical series. And like Vanessa, she’s into investing in real estate. She recently sold this gorgeous Mediterranean-style home in Los Angeles for a tidy $1 million profit.
The woman who bought the home may just be another Vanessa and Ashley in the making. Madison Beer, is a 23 year old influencer best known for being Justin Bieber’s friend and having great makeup advice, has already flipped a mansion of her own!
The three-bedroom villa from the turn of the last century has a gorgeous open floor plan, amazingly private landscaping, and an impressive Olympic-length swimming pool. It’s a perfect place for someone to take gorgeous pictures and encourage followers to live their best lives.
Will Smith’s Impressive Estate
Over the years, Vanessa has made movies with lots of celebrities, but few rise to the talent and fame of Will Smith. In 2020, she starred in Bad Boys for Life, a continuation of the series from the 1990s.
Will Smith’s Calabasas estate is as big as his reputation. The house itself is at least 25,000 square feet, has nine bedrooms, a meditation room, pool room, recording studio, and home theater, and that’s just inside! Outside, there’s a lake, a pool, a basketball court, volleyball court, and more.
Looking back, Vanessa has done a lot in Hollywood! She’s made several hit movies with massive celebrities, and become a celebrity herself, had #1 Billboard hits,and made good much money flipping homes. And she’s only 34! It’s a sure bet she has lots more planned, and this year will be a great one. Happy Birthday, Vanessa!
