In recent years, she’s spent plenty of time in Las Vegas, but where does Adele live when she’s not performing? The British singer-songwriter has called America home for the better part of a decade now, and it seems like she’s here to stay for a good while longer. Presently, Los Angeles is where the “Hometown Glory” singer spends most of her time—namely at the $58 million Mediterranean-style mansion she purchased from Sylvester Stallone in 2022. And by the looks of it, Adele will be spending even more time there in the coming months and years, away from the spotlight.
Last fall, she announced during a show in Munich that she would be taking an indefinite hiatus from performing, so that she might really “rest” and soak in the rewards of a busy past few years. “I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now, I want to live my new life that I’ve been building,” she said. Though it’s uncertain when the singer will return to the stage, she did reassure fans that she’s not done for good. “Of course, I’ll be back,” she added. “The only thing I’m good at is singing. I just don’t know when I next want to come onstage.” Below, we’ve rounded up some of Adele’s homes from over the years.

West Sussex mansion
In 2006, London-born Adele landed a record deal and moved into a flat in Notting Hill. Not much is known about that pad, but five years later, after the success of her first album, 19, and the release of her second album, 21, she decided that she needed a little more space and privacy. In 2012, she began renting a country mansion in West Sussex known as Lock House, which boasted a nearly 20,000-square-foot main house with 13 bedrooms nestled into acres and acres of private woods and rolling hills. The mansion was originally built in the early 1900s in a Victorian style, but a 1930s extension and renovation added an Art Deco vibe. Amenities included an indoor and an outdoor pool, a wood-paneled drawing room, a tennis court and pavilion, and even a helicopter hangar. The singer stayed there for about six months and paid around $20,000 a month. In a 2012 interview with Anderson Cooper, however, Adele called the property “quite scary, really,” adding that thinking about the place “gives [her] the creeps.” More than a decade later, the owner of the residence claimed that Adele’s comments “blighted” the property and have prevented him from finding a buyer for the Lock House; he is thinking of converting the mansion into apartments instead.
Brighton Beach town house
Adele’s first big home purchase was a $3.4 million Art Deco town house in the seaside city of Portslade, near Brighton, on a beachfront resort known as Millionaire’s Row. She and then partner Simon Konecki bought the two-story residence in 2012 and then reportedly spent a good deal of time and effort updating and upgrading the property, which included a double-height atrium, a seaside terrace, and four bedrooms with a walk-in closet and dressing room in the primary bedroom. The property also included a private beach and had balconies and terraces with stunning views of the coastline. Adele ultimately sold the place for $3.7 million in 2016, after largely relocating to the States.
Kensington mews houses
That same year, in 2012, Adele also set down roots in London with the purchase of two side-by-side Kensington mews homes for approximately $7.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively, with plans to eventually combine the two. The singer was also rumored to have bought a home for her mother in the area for around $817,000. It appears that she still owns these properties.
Sir Paul McCartney’s former home
A few months later, Adele started looking into the possibility of moving her family stateside. While she continued to keep an eye out for the perfect Beverly Hills pad, she temporarily rented out Sir Paul McCartney’s former home, a 12,000-square-foot behemoth with seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, a vintage bowling alley in the basement, and a huge bar and wine cellar on the lower level, ideal for get-togethers. Other previous owners of the home include Betty Grable, Melanie Griffith, and the Osbourne family. Each owner seems to have added their own personal touch to the pad and the grounds, also having a putting green and a koi pond at the time of Adele’s tenure. It’s unclear how much Adele paid to rent the mansion and how long she was there.
Malibu vacation pad
While still on the hunt for her Beverly Hills dream home, Adele shelled out around $5.2 million for a vacation house in Malibu in 2015. The Mediterranean-style mansion was perched on a cliffside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, with an infinity pool, an outdoor barbecue, and ample patio space for outdoor entertaining. Inside, the place boasted high-end amenities, including a temperature-controlled wine room, a gourmet kitchen, and entire walls of glass. Despite the dreamy setting, Adele didn’t end up staying for long; she sold it for a little less than she paid for it, $4.8 million, in 2017.
Beverly Hills dream home
Adele finally found her long-awaited Beverly Hills dream home in early 2016, putting down $9.5 million for an ultra private retreat in a gated community with its own guardhouse and security. Built in 1977, the 6,500-square-foot residence features a soaring two-story foyer with a grand staircase and balcony, an open kitchen built around a large center island and linked to a breakfast area and a family room, and two living rooms with their own fireplaces. A second-floor rec room boasts vaulted ceilings (as does the primary bedroom), and out back, there is a pool, a stone terrace, and a gazebo. Adele picked up the impressive property shortly after signing a record-breaking $130 million deal with Sony Music, the biggest record deal ever awarded to a British artist at that time. It appears she still owns this home.
Tribeca rental
For the New York City leg of her eponymous tour that September, Adele rented NBA star Deron Williams’ oversize Tribeca condo for three weeks, paying $58,000 a week for her time there. The penthouse unit offered the perfect private retreat for the singer, with 7,200 square feet of interior space and 2,700 square feet of outdoor space. The lavish pad featured giant walls of windows, a sky-lit great room, a wet bar, a media room, and a glass-enclosed, climate-controlled wine room. Perhaps most important to Adele, however, was that the rental also came with four private parking spaces and intense camera security.
