Billie Eilish House: Her Family's Highland Park Home and Her Glendale Ranch

Two houses in Los Angeles County carry Billie Eilish's name. One is the Highland Park house where Billie Eilish grew up, a small 1912 house in northeast Los Angeles where she and her older brother, Finneas O'Connell, recorded the songs that made her name. It belongs to their parents, the actors Maggie Baird and Patrick O'Connell, and it is still the family's, though the first version of this page, in December 2019, called it a former home. The other is a horse ranch in Glendale that she bought at 17. That same autumn Finneas bought a house of his own in Los Feliz.

The county roll has recorded no change of ownership at the house since 2002.

It was never a big house, and the family arranged it around the music. Baird and O'Connell slept in the living room so that each child could have a room, a detail AWAL reported and CBS News repeated when it interviewed Billie at the house in December 2019. Finneas's room became the studio. Sound On Sound reports that “Ocean Eyes” was sung into an $80 microphone there in 2015, and that the debut album that swept the 2020 Grammys came out of the same room. When CBS visited, the album's song list was still written on a dry-erase board on the wall.

Finneas moved out early in 2019, according to Sound On Sound, and his sister was still living there three years later. At 20, after the Grammys and the Bond theme, she told Entertainment Tonight in March 2022 that home life had not changed at all: “It's as if you walked in here and it's 2003.”

A Glendale horse ranch, bought at 17

The ranch came from another singer. Leona Lewis, the X Factor winner behind “Bleeding Love,” bought it in 2013 for $1.2M, according to Variety's real estate column. Lewis sold in the fall of 2019, a few months after Billie's debut album came out. Variety put the price at $2.25M without naming the buyer; Hello magazine, citing Dirt, and later the New York Post identified the buyer as Eilish and gave the price as $2.3M. The ranch is now Billie Eilish's Glendale ranch, and the county roll has enrolled no change of ownership there since 2020. The assessor dates the ranch house to 1952.

On “NDA,” from her 2021 album Happier Than Ever, Eilish sings about the house she bought at 17 and the parties she has not thrown in it, and Hello magazine ties the line to this ranch. Where she lives day to day is a separate question. In March 2022 her own answer was still her parents' house.

Finneas's house in Los Feliz

Finneas paid $2.73M through a trust for a Spanish Colonial-style house in Los Feliz in late 2019, the Los Angeles Times reported that November. He was 22 and up for five Grammys for his work on his sister's debut. The Times opened its story by noting that he would have somewhere to put any Grammys he won. In January 2020 he won all five. The house is Finneas O'Connell's Los Feliz house, and the county roll still carries it at the $2.73M he paid.

The assessor dates it to 1924. City permits show an earlier owner putting in a 28-by-15-foot swimming pool in 2012, so the pool was seven years old when Finneas bought the house.

The biggest work came after he bought it. Between September 2024 and February 2025 the city issued four permits. One covered 40 windows and 17 doors, new exterior stucco, and a coating for the balcony. One repaired damaged framing and added anchors that bolt the wood frame to its foundation, a common earthquake retrofit for houses of this age. One was a $135,000 interior remodel, and the last was a new roof. The city's records show all four finaled, which means inspected and closed out, by January 20, 2026.

By September 2020, Variety reported, he had added an oceanfront cottage in Malibu and a small bungalow back in Highland Park. The same story still counted the Los Feliz house among his homes.
