Welcome back to the Real Estate newsletter, where a wild first week of May was marked by two bizarre home listings, two massive mega-project announcements and an intriguing new possibility for one of the country’s most fabled estates to come to market.
Tyrese Gibson’s Woodland Hills home features a prop from a movie, while an infamous house in Alhambra features a dark past. Known as the Pyrenees Castle, the estate was where late record producer Phil Spector shot actress Lana Clarkson to death in 2003 following a drunken night out in Hollywood. After years on the market, it finally found a buyer.

The house itself is Mediterranean in style and covers nearly half an acre in the Walnut Acres neighborhood. Relative to the backyard, the interiors are a bit more traditional with tan tones, wrought-iron accents and floors of tile and hardwood.
Highlights include a foyer under 26-foot ceilings, movie theater and gym, as well as a primary suite with a fireplace and steam shower. It’s one of five bedrooms and six bathrooms in 5,225 square feet.
A native of Watts, Gibson signed to RCA Records in the late 1990s and has released six studio albums in the decades since, including 2015’s “Black Rose.” As an actor, he’s known for his roles as Robert Epps in the “Transformers” franchise and Roman Pearce in the “Fast and Furious” franchise.
