Why Vin Diesel Had To Sell His Hollywood Hills Home After 16 Years

Vin Diesel is officially shifting gears in his real estate game. After 16 years of calling his Hollywood Hills home his own, the Fast & Furious star has decided to sell the two-bedroom, three-bathroom pad for $1.4 million. Trulia broke the news, and this wasn’t his first attempt. In 2013, he listed the property for $1.3 million; before that, he rented it out for a solid $5,800 a month. But now, with three kids and a growing family, Diesel is ready to rev up to the next chapter—away from this bachelor pad.

Bought in 2000 for just $562,500, this 1957-built midcentury gem wasn’t precisely a mansion but had all the charm of an old-school LA hideaway. Tucked behind a gated brick courtyard, the house boasted a cozy yet contemporary vibe with lush landscaping and a pavilion area perfect for meditation—who knew Diesel was into Zen? Inside, the private main suite was all about sophistication with beamed ceilings, French doors, and roomy closets, ideal for someone used to the fast life.

The kitchen, a nod to classic Southern California charm, was accented with Mexican tile and flowed into the airy dining and living spaces. If this house had a spirit, it would be all about effortless entertaining. Diesel’s den, which opened to a private patio, was the perfect space for a casual hangout or maybe, we imagine, a few Fast & Furious planning sessions. A sun-drenched pool and spa added a touch of luxury, creating an oasis in the Hills that might sell as quickly as a Fast & Furious car chase.
