Awkwafina Buys Bel Air Mansion for $3.5 Million

Summer is just months away, and Awkwafina is more than ready for the upcoming season. The triple-threat star (real name Nora Lum) who’s a rapper, comedian, and actor, best known for her role in Crazy Rich Asians, just purchased a bright and airy four-bedroom mansion in Bel Air.

Listed under Mick Partridge of the Partridge Estates at Hilton & Hyland, the property officially sold earlier this week. The exterior of the home immediately stands out due to its modern, boxy architecture that seems simple, but makes a big statement.

Inside the space, the numerous windows scattered throughout the house—especially the floor-to-ceiling one on the corner of the first floor—seamlessly invite the great outdoors inside. The home does an incredible job of making nature a permanent guest, and when you live in the Santa Monica mountains, that’s undoubtedly the dream vibe.

Other amenities that make the house special include a 2,500-bottle wine cellar, a home gym, and a soundproof recording studio. The last time Awkwafina dropped music was with her EP In Fina, We Trust back in 2018, so maybe having a studio right at home will inspire her to get back in the booth.

For the days the star of the comedy show Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens just wants to relax, there’s a pool located on the outdoor patio. This spot checks all the boxes, and it’s an amazing addition to her real estate portfolio, which includes a West Hollywood townhouse that she snagged in 2019 for $2.3 million. In the past, Awkwafina opened up about how she stayed in her small New York City apartment even after becoming famous, and was anxious to invest in a larger space, but it appears she has found her home-buying confidence.
