Dennis Quaid Lists Los Angeles Home for Over $5 Million

Dennis Quaid is making his break from California official with the listing of his longtime Brentwood home after relocating full time to Tennessee.

“The Parent Trap” star has listed his 4,100-square-foot manse at 2536 Pesquera Drive in Brentwood Hills for $5.2 million, Realtor.com reported. The actor put the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home on the market nearly a decade after buying it for $3.9 million and completing an extensive renovation of the property.

The listing comes just weeks after Quaid publicly criticized California’s taxes, government services and wildfire response, saying those frustrations helped drive his move to Nashville.

“It used to be such a great town and the ’90s was nice. And then it’s been kind of going downhill and I feel like people pay these taxes for no services is what it gets down to,” the Texas native told Fox News last month. “I’m just one of thousands who have left.”

Quaid and his wife, Laura Savoie, have primarily lived in Nashville since 2020 but have held onto the Los Angeles property and traveled between the two states. Now, the listing appears to sever his last major residential tie to California.

Last year’s Palisades fire, which forced Quaid to evacuate his Brentwood home, appears to have been the last straw for him. He participated in the “They Let Us Burn” protests and called on Mayor Karen Bass to retire in the wake of the fires, and went on to support former reality TV star Spencer Pratt in his failed Los Angeles mayoral primary election bid.

Quaid’s home is being marketed by David Offer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices as a turnkey retreat at the end of a cul-de-sac in Brentwood Hills. The remodeled residence includes an open floor plan, floor-to-ceiling windows, a chef’s kitchen and a primary suite with a private terrace, office, kitchenette and dual walk-in closets. Outdoor amenities include a pool, covered patios and built-in barbecue area, with nearby access to hiking and biking trails.

Quaid will be the latest Hollywood star to flee California for greener pastures in recent years. Mark Wahlberg, Matthew McConaughey, Chris Evans, Glenn Powell and Rachel McAdams have relocated outside the Golden State as concerns over taxes, insurance costs and wildfire risk compel wealthier homeowners to decide whether to stay or go.
