Which Riverdale Cast Member Has The Most Expensive Home?
After a successful five seasons on the CW, "Riverdale" cast members KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, and Madelaine Petsch have become household names. The show, which is well into its sixth season now, is based on the stories and characters in the Archie comics. Archie Andrews and his gang, including Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and Jughead Jones, juggle school, romance, and family all while solving the mysteries popping up around the town of Riverdale, per IMDb.
The actors who play these characters have made quite a bit of money off this show and from other subsequent opportunities due to its success. Many of them are only in their mid-twenties and have been able to buy their first homes with the money they have earned. With that in mind, let's take a look inside the multi-million-dollar homes of the "Riverdale" cast and find out who secured the most expensive home.
Camila Mendes has two expertly decorated mansions
Camila Mendes, the actress who was cast as Veronica Lodge in "Riverdale," owns a Silver Lake, Los Angeles, residence that she bought for $1.9 million in 2020. Mendes's home was built back in 1924 and is situated on just 0.17 acres of land, as told by Dirt. Though the estate is nearly 100 years old, it has been extensively renovated to the point that it is referred to as a custom modern home. It features hardwood floors, a cactus garden, and views of the Hollywood sign and the Century City skyline.
The three-bedroom, four-bathroom house incorporates a compact kitchen, a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a comfortable living area, and a patio where she can watch the incredible LA sunsets. As per Architectural Digest, we can expect that Mendes decorated this home with furniture that fits its mid-century modern aesthetic shortly after moving in.
In 2020, Mendes also bought and helped decorate a home for her mother in Florida, according to People. With Pottery Barn as a partner, the mother-daughter duo turned the mansion into a gorgeous home where the entire family can hold events for holidays and parties year after year. The home uses many pieces of white Pottery Barn furniture throughout the house with pops of color from carefully placed rugs and wall art.
Lili Reinhart's $2.7 million home is everything she wanted
In 2019, Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty Cooper in the CW's "Riverdale," said in an interview with Architectural Digest that she wanted a balcony, a bathtub, and a huge closet when she finally bought her first home in LA. Two summers ago, it seems that she made this dream come true. TMZ reports that her Spanish-inspired residence features a spa-quality claw foot tub and at least two separate balconies.
The $2.7-million house, located in Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley, has 4,170 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, shown on Zillow. As you enter through the doors, you are greeted by the formal dining room, which looks out over the pool. To the right of the entrance is the great room, which includes a fireplace and plenty of room to drink, dance, or read a good book. The house hosts a kitchen with gorgeous steel appliances and a nearby breakfast nook that has a view of the lush yard. In Reinhart's home, you'll also find a small gym, an office, a game room, and a huge temperature-controlled wine room that fits 1,300 bottles.
The outdoor space is what really draws people in. With an enormous pool and connected hot tub, the backyard is perfect for a large party with friends. It also incorporates an outdoor dining space, lots of lounge chairs, and a covered sitting area shaded by one of the second-floor balconies.
KJ Apa sold his Nichols Canyon estate for $2.9 million
KJ Apa, who plays Archie Andrews in the teen drama series, is a New Zealand native. He recently listed his $2.9-million home in the Hollywood Hills, which he bought back in 2020, as per People. Apa and his wife, Clara Berry, welcomed a baby boy, Sasha, only months after purchasing the home. Since then, they extensively remodeled the property before selling, and no reports of the couple buying a new home have surfaced just yet.
Their previous estate is described as a private oasis by news outlets, such as OK! Magazine. The 3,581-square-foot property features an open-concept kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and white marble countertops. The first floor also includes a formal living room, a dining room, a den, two guest suites, and two bathrooms. Just outside the living room is a set of French doors that lead to the backyard, which has views of the city and Nichols Canyon. A large, rectangular pool takes up much of the yard and is surrounded by lounge chairs and a smaller dining area for relaxing afternoon lunches after a swim.
On the second floor of the home, you can find the primary suite with a walk-in closet, a fireplace, and a door to a massive outdoor patio. There is also an ensuite bathroom outfitted with a vintage-looking clawfoot tub, a steam shower, and his and her sinks.
Cole Sprouse's unique $2.9 million property in the Hollywood Hills
Not long after his split with co-star Lili Reinhart in 2020, Cole Sprouse purchased a house in the Hollywood Hills near Cahuenga Pass. The $2.9-million home, which was built in 1949 by renowned architects Richard Neutra, Josef Van Der Kar, and Alexander Ban for Millard Kaufman, has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, according to Dirt. Kaufman sold the house in 1997 and it passed through many hands while undergoing several renovations.
Sprouse's home uses a lot of glass to let the light in and allow for great views of the stunning property from the inside. The greatest aspect of the home is the partial glass ceiling in the living room that is broken up by large wooden beams. Other parts of the home, such as the kitchen, use a similar architectural style that makes the tenant feel as though they are outdoors at all times. The bedroom even has a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.
In the kitchen, there are state-of-the-art appliances and plenty of space to get creative with food. The Italian-born actor's main floor also includes three guest bedrooms, a full bathroom, a laundry room, a dining room, and a huge brick fireplace. In the newer, downstairs addition is the primary bedroom and bathroom. As shown by Life & Style, here you can find the glass-walled walk-in shower, double sinks, and a large walk-in closet, perfect for the Hollywood star.
Madelaine Petsch's $3.4 million West Hollywood mansion
While many may have thought that former Disney Channel actor Cole Sprouse would have bought the most expensive home, it's actually Madelaine Petsch, who currently owns a $3.4 million West Hollywood home built in 1937, via Dirt. The "Riverdale" actress, who plays Cheryl Blossom in the show, doubles as a YouTuber in her free time. Her rising popularity due to her career has certainly helped her purchase her gorgeous 3,575-square-foot mansion in the Hollywood Hills.
The three-bedroom, four-bathroom residence has clean lines, featuring herringbone oak flooring, exposed wooden beams, and marble in the kitchen and around the main fireplace. The house includes many large windows and glass doors, which let in lots of natural light for a breezy feel. The three bedrooms located upstairs each have their own ensuite bathrooms. Two out of the three bathrooms have large soaking tubs and walk-in showers for the perfect at-home spa day, as seen on Velvet Ropes. Every room in this estate is welcoming, bright, and comfortable, and the outside perpetuates this vibe. Petsch's backyard is surrounded by tall trees for maximum privacy. There is an outdoor bar with seating, a dining space, and a fire pit tucked into the architecture of the home.
