Zillow is a real estate company based in Seattle, Washington, USA, that has conducted an annual survey for the past decade, asking ordinary people, that is, people who are not celebrities, which celebrity would they love to have as a neighbor. According to the survey results:
- Popular late night TV talk show host Jimmy Fallon was voted the most desirable celebrity neighbor for 2014 and 2015.
- For the year 2016, Taylor Swift got the most votes; and
- The Obama family were voted most desirable neighbor for 2017.
For 2018, the survey was modified. Instead of voting for real celebs as neighbors, people were asked who would be their favorite fictional TV character or characters. Leonard Hofstadter and Penny from the CBS TV-series “The Big Bang Theory” garnered the most votes.
Have you ever fantasized about having a celebrity neighbor?
I participated in my own unofficial celebrity neighbor survey and these are my results.

Miami, Florida, is my hometown and the exclusive neighborhoods of the stars who live in Miami Beach include celebrity couple Gloria and Emilio Estefan (“Miami Sound Machine”). The Estefans would get my vote for most desirable celebrity neighbors in any year. It’s my fantasy. They are in first place.

Also, after watching the cooking show, “Kimchi Chronicles”, two other celebrity couples were put in second place. World-class chefs, Marja and Jean-Georges Vongerichten would be my neighbors on one side; and actor, Hugh Jackman (aka “Wolverine”) and his wife, actress Deborra-Lee, would be on the other side. It would be awesome to have dinner with them every now and then. Every now and then? Uuuhh … OK. Just once! I’d be happy with one invitation to share a meal together. Wouldn’t you?

I have had celebrity neighbors several times in my two previous homes. There are many interesting experiences but also disturbing ones, especially with their guests, both invited and clandestine.
Martha Stewart is a popular TV chef and I heard that her neighbors complained about her filming her TV show from her home. I suppose having a celebrity neighbor can be sort of a nuisance.
I agree with Carol, imagine all the paparazzi, lol. Some fictional characters could be fun though.
I totally get what you and Carol are saying. But I would still love to next door to Gloria and Emilio Estefan. LOL. They seem like they would be great neighbors. Also, where they live in Miami Beach? It’s not that easy for the paparazzi to get to them. A lot of celebrities have homes in Miami Beach.
Maybe you are right. Based on movies, I always imagine a celebrity house surrounded by journalists and photographers.
I will take a pass, having a celebrity neighbor would cause too much chaos I am afraid. I will watch them from a distance. 🙂
That is a complaint that many non-celebrities have. For example, some popular TV chefs cook in their home kitchen and I’ve heard that some of the neighbors complain about all the workers (cameraman, make up artists, etc.) and all their equipment, etc. when they are filming an episode. I seem to remember that one of the chefs announcing that she was now cooking in a kitchen at the studio and no longer in her home in order to keep the neighbors happy.
