Margot Robbie sold her 945‑sq‑ft Hollywood Heights bungalow in Los Angeles for $1.2 million in 2021, turning a modest hillside property into a lucrative asset.
She bought the home in February 2018 from Oscar‑winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black for $950,000, immediately launching a renovation that refreshed hardwood floors, updated the kitchen, and painted the interior in a coordinated palette.
After the makeover, Robbie listed the bungalow for rent at $5,000 a month, later trimming the price to $4,200 to attract tenants for a three‑year period.
The resale price yielded a $250,000 gain over her purchase price, a profit that eclipses renovation and selling costs and demonstrates the upside of small, well‑situated Los Angeles homes.
Robbie’s bungalow was just one of several properties in her growing portfolio, which includes a 2017 Hancock Park mansion sold for $3.45 million and a Venice Beach compound acquired in 2019.
The Hollywood Heights sale reinforces a market trend where compact, character‑rich homes can command premium prices when they feature thoughtful upgrades and desirable locations.
