Celebrities Living in New York City

From the East Side to the West Side and all around the town, here are some of the celebrities you might run into the next time you find yourself on the sidewalks of New York.

14 Celebrities Living in New York City

Robert DeNiro

Perhaps the quintessential New Yorker, many of hometown boy Robert De Niro’s most iconic film roles are set in the Five Boroughs. In fact, both his Academy Awards came in films set in New York: The Godfather Part II and Raging Bull. When not living at his longtime home in TriBeCa, De Niro spends his time in his 78-acre estate in Ulster County.

Al Pacino

Though they first confronted each other onscreen on the 105 in Los Angeles, De Niro’s bête noire Al Pacino was born in East Harlem and raised in the South Bronx. And like De Niro, some of the Academy Award winner’s most iconic films are set in the city, including The Godfather, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon.

Peter Dinklage

For 20 years, the Game of Thrones star called New York home, first Williamsburg, and then the West Village. He has since moved to a house in the woods uspstate, but has been spotted around Brooklyn from time to time.

Justin Timberlake

Memphis native and pop icon Justin Timberlake has owned properties in New York for over a decade, starting with a SoHo property formerly owned by fashion designer Oscar de la Renta and, more recently, a penthouse in TriBeCa, which he shares with wife Jessica Biel and their children.

Sarah Jessica Parker

While she was born in Ohio, Sarah Jessica Parker has spent much of her life as a New York institution, having grown up on Roosevelt Island and commuting to Broadway for the titular orphan Annie. But it’s her role as the dishy Carrie Bradshaw who chronicled her loves and career aspirations in Sex and the City that most know her for. She and her husband, Matthew Broderick, live in Greenwich Village.

Denzel Washington

New Yorker Denzel Washington was born in Westchester County to a father who worked for the New York City Water Department. He attended Fordham University in the Bronx before becoming one of the most iconic, acclaimed, and bankable stars of his generation in hits like Glory, Philadelphia, and Training Day. He’s also won a Tony for his performance in August Wilson’s Fences.

Donald Trump

Born in Queens, settled in Manhattan, and since moved to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, the 45th President of the United States is an iconic New Yorker to many.

Scarlett Johansson

Marvel’s Black Widow grew up in Greenwich Village, attended the Lee Strasburg Theatre Institute in Union Square, and had her first stage appearance off-Broadway in a play starring Ethan Hawke. Johansson has since become one of the biggest stars on the planet through films like Lost in Translation, Avengers, and Marriage Story.

Kevin Bacon

Though born and raised a few hours south on I-95 in Philadelphia, actor Kevin Bacon and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, maintain a home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Hang around the upper 80s long enough, and you might find yourself fewer than six degrees separated from the Footloose star.

Madonna

Don’t let the accent fool you: pop superstar Madonna has long been a New York fixture, going back to her days working the coat check at the Russian Tea Room by day and drumming in Breakfast Club at night. The Material Girl currently maintains a 57-foot-wide townhome on the Upper East Side.

Roman Abramovich

Born in Russia and most famous for formerly owning Chelsea of the English Premier League, billionaire Roman Abramovich spends much of his time in New York, where he has been attempting to build one of the city’s largest private residences.

Tina Fey

Famous for such New York-centric shows as Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, actress and writer Tina Fey has long called the city home. Currently, she and her family live in a $9.5 million penthouse on the Upper West Side, a relatively quick commute to the film studios in Astoria, Queens.

Jon Bon Jovi

Though he’s instantly identifiable with his native New Jersey, rock star Jon Bon Jovi has long since moved across the Hudson River. The “Livin’ on a Prayer” singer lived in a Greenwich Village condo for years before he sold it for $22 million in 2022.

Taylor Swift

Welcome to New York, Taylor Swift! The pop megastar is one of the city’s most famous boosters and has several properties in Greenwich Village and TriBeCa where she hangs with her squad.
