Singer Billie Eilish is widely tipped to win her 10th Grammy Award in less than a decade during the ceremony in Los Angeles on Feb. 2—but despite her phenomenal success, the 23-year-old maintains an incredibly modest property portfolio and actually still resides at home with her parents.
Unlike many of her popstar peers Eilish, who is reported to have a net worth of around $50 million, has not readily splashed the cash on multiple megamansions, instead opting to remain at the charming dwelling where she wrote much of her debut album alongside brother Finneas O’Connell.
The “Birds of a Feather” songstress snapped up her first Grammys at the age of 18, becoming the youngest artist to ever win one of the awards—just months after she released her debut album, “When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”
Much of that album, including the title track, was written inside Eilish’s childhood home—a two-bedroom, one-bathroom property that her mom, Maggie Baird, and dad, Patrick O’Connell, purchased for $240,000 back in 2001.
Today, Eilish is understood to still reside in that property, despite having purchased her own abode—explaining in a 2023 podcast interview: “I like my parents being around.”

Billie Eilish’s Family Home In Highland Park
Eilish’s family purchased their home in Los Angeles’ Highland Park neighborhood just a few months before she was born—snapping up the property in August 2001, according to records.
The two-bedroom, one-bathroom home spans 1,208 square feet and comes complete with a fireplace.
Because the property only has two bedrooms, Eilish’s parents moved into the living room so that each of their children could have their own space, Finneas revealed in a previous interview.
And while much of Eilish’s life has changed since her earliest childhood years, her love of the abode has never stopped.
She even recorded her first major songs, including “Ocean Eyes,” inside her brother’s makeshift studio in his bedroom.
In 2019, Eilish’s beloved family home’s address was leaked online, prompting a group of fans to flock to the property.
The artist then appointed a security guard to sleep in the living room to help her family feel safer. At the time, she told Rolling Stone: “It was really traumatizing. I completely don’t feel safe in my house anymore, which sucks.
“I love my house. I’ve loved attention my whole life but I don’t think anyone knows what fame actually is. Because if I did want to be famous it wasn’t this kind.”
Is this Billie Eilish’s Glendale estate?

Although she lives with her parents, the songstress is believed to have purchased a stunning home in 2019, when she was around 17 years old—a milestone moment that even featured in her second album, “Happier Than Ever.”
In the song “NDA,” Eilish sings: “I bought a secret house when I was 17, haven’t had a party since I got the keys.”
