It’s no secret that Zendaya gets along well with her parents. The well-known actress (Euphoria, Dune, the Spider-Man movies) lived with her mother Claire Stoermer or her divorced father, Oakland native Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, even though she owned multiple homes; the two are still close “homies,” according to Zendaya.
The 26-year-old has reportedly spent $1.9 million on a home that her father would live in, joining A-list superstars The Rock, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Beyoncé in doing the same for their parents. The opulent mansion is tucked away in the remote Los Angeles suburbs of West Hills, the San Fernando Valley, near Woodland Hills and Calabasas.

Built in the 1990s, the two-story house was previously sold for $1.1 million in 2008, at which point improvements were done. The house’s main level features a double-height lobby with walls painted a light periwinkle color, as well as new hardwood floors.
The living and family rooms each have a fireplace, and the formal dining room has French doors that open directly to the pool area. The dark brown cabinets and white quartz counters set apart the fully renovated kitchen, which is open to the family space and features eat-in bar seating.
Five bedrooms are spread throughout the approximately 3,400 square foot building, with two located on the ground floor and three upstairs. The master retreat upstairs has a dedicated sitting area, a lavishly renovated bathroom, and a private terrace overlooking the city lights and mountains. I’ve converted one of the downstairs rooms into an office.
A raised spa next to the house’s pool, lush front and backyard landscaping, and a built-in barbecue center with a bar seating area are some of the other outside features. There’s a circular fire pit, ideal for cooking marshmallows on chilly nights, and a covered loggia that provides some outdoor respite from the unbearable heat of the San Fernando Valley. The home is tucked away in a gated community, where $205 monthly HOA dues go to the maintenance of parks-like common spaces and a local security patrol.
In addition to her dad’s fancy new residence, Zendaya has several properties of her own, including a Mediterranean-style home in L.A.’s Northridge district and an apartment in New York City. However, the $4 million dollar hilltop mansion in Encino remains the priciest asset in her inventory.
