Brett Gurewitz Selling His Hollywood Hills Home
When is punk rock no longer punk rock? When Brett Gurewitz, guitarist from Bad Religion, lists his Hollywood Hills home for close to $3 million dollars. I don’t begrudge anyone’s success in the least, but it is fairly amazing that one of the first punk bands is now living large in one of the most exclusive areas of Los Angeles, if not the world. Most of the celebrity homes you’ll see are for movie stars, fashion designers, and more-traditional rock stars, but everyone wants to live in the Hollywood Hills when they reach a certain level.
It is further proof that the Hollywood Hills is attractive to all types of people with all sorts of tastes and artistic personalities. In some sense it’s like Venice up the hills, for people who can afford this style of real estate. In “New York, New York” the line is, “If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere,” and the Hollywood Hills is proof that you’ve made it as a dweller in Los Angeles.
It just has a more spirited feeling than other areas with high-end real estate in L.A. Not to downplay a neighborhood like Beverly Hills, which is of course fabulously nice, but the Hollywood Hills has an extra cache – partly due to the name, which gives it a sense of being part of the entertainment industry, but also because of its variety of homes, the views, and the eclectic nature of the residents. It’s prized real estate for a reason – one of the most coveted real estate sections in all the world.
