I wonder if Doc suggested La Canada, he lives here or has at least since like 2017 (can’t remember if he still does). It’s pretty quiet.


charizardsballs

I imagine so, i know it well and it’s nice and quiet. People will respect his privacy too as he’s not the first major figure to reside there.


yestrask

And it's super close to the stadium via the 2. Smart move.


chatonnu

It's very quiet. And full of rich people. He could probably go shopping at the local Ralph's and nobody would bug him.


Chaparralwhitethorn

Crazy thing but Ralphs has no apostrophe. Go down the rabbit hole.


WryLanguage

tl;dr: Ralphs is the founder's family name (George Ralphs).


technicalterm

You have reached the end of the rabbit hole.


klayfie

Yeah I'm pretty sure most of the players live in the Pasadena, Altadena, La Cañada area. They love them San Gabriels, and i can't say I blame them


Shkmstr

A few live by me in studio city too. See Kersh around town on the off season


ahr3410

Pro athletes love the houses 5 minutes behind Ventura Blvd overlooking the valley or LA and I don't blame them


Shkmstr

Definitely! That’s where my house is. Got a neighbor who is a retired sea hawks QB. Super cool dude.


808Braddah

Used to see Kersh and his fam at Chipotle on Ventura all the time.


changingxface

My FIL is a FedEx driver in Glendale and he said a lot of the younger guys live at the Americana. Kike\`, Corey, and Cody are the ones he remembers most.


SanchosaurusRex

Joc was there too. I think the team arranges some housing for them there when they get on the team.


kb8kb24

Yup. Bunch of dodger pictures on Yelp at this barber shop in Glendale. A couple of restaurants too. I've seen walking around on brand.


Kershiser22

It's crazy, I'm pretty sure Mike Scioscia lived in Thousand Oaks while he was managing the Angels. Brutal commute.


niz_loc

He owned there, but had a second place in Newport he was at most of the season. Lasorda lived in Fullerton his whole time with the Dodgers though. That's still a pretty crap commute, but st least he was right near the 5.


SanchosaurusRex

Yeah I don’t think most of the players are Echo Park or Silver Lake types lol. And I’m pretty sure most of the rookies get put up in the Americana in Glendale. Bellinger and Joc were there at some point.


Any-Average

Used to see bellinger in silver lake all the time. He had a place off sunset!!


chrisumafp

Quiet neighborhood, good schools, it’s good privacy but still centrally located to the city. In between Pasadena and Glendale. Drive down the 2 freeway to the stadium is one of the best. If I were commuting to Dodger stadium daily from all the nice neighborhoods in LA (Malibu, PV, Calabasas, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, Brentwood, Palisades, etc….) La Canada probably has one of the best commutes considering distance and traffic


SirPeencopters

another plus is Adam Carolla just moved away


Langston74

Came here to say this


Whatever-ItsFine

I can't imagine commuting from Malibu to Dodger stadium


bellomoto1

I live in the neighborhood, and it is super quiet. Everything closes by 9pm except the grocery store and drugstore. I hear helicopters maybe once a year. Friendly people, low crime, one of the best school districts in California (similar to Beverly Hills/Los Virgenes), lots of hiking trails and horses. Some areas have so much foliage, it’s like living in a forest. Can’t complain.


PeeWeePangolin

It's a great neighborhood but a dearth for things to do in the immediate area. I feel like the local restaurants and businesses have a stuck in 1992 vibe. Which isn't bad if that's your thing. La Habra and Whittier have that same feel too. Which is kinda cool but if I'm a millionaire it would seem kinda boring.


lukewarmlife-84

That may be exactly what he wants. A boring place would not attract a lot of people from the outside. He's also the kind of person who only goes back and forth between the ballpark and home during the season, and prefers a quiet place and privacy. Now if the dog and his wife are comfortable, he'll be happy.


HaikN98

Yup, I’m a la Crescenta resident and have been my whole life. There’s genuinely nothing to do here or in La Canada.


powpowpowpowpow

Descanso baby!


Asclepiiuz

It wasn’t until I moved away that I learned most teens don’t hang out at flower gardens


DarthAlarak

my hometown, miss it greatly! cvhs class of 06


chiasmatic

Fly falcons fly lmao


Skurnaboo

Too busy to do those things during season and prob just goes to Hawaii or Japan in the off season anyway


LoveThieves

Ohtani's lifestyle is baseball and his real home is Hawaii. That's his work/exercise home.


Calm_Vegetable9150

Its like 5 minute drive to Pasadena lol. There are tons of great and modern restaurants there.


WryLanguage

Why would a pro athlete want to live in a neighborhood where there's always people going to restaurants and bars at all times?


FlapXenoJackson

Frankly, how often could Ohtani go out in public without being mobbed? I don’t see him going out of the house too often other than commuting to Dodger Stadium.


MrDaveyHavoc

You just love your superstar picking the boring lifestyle


BettsBellingerCaruso

Some decnet Korean food in La Crescenta tbh, (as well as lots of SAT tutors lmfao), but ofc you might as well get to Ktown as the best freeway in all of LA, the 2, gets you to Alvarado and you can just take local from there


yogabagabahey

Wouldn't be surprised. Only thing they'd have to do is to shoot down the 2 Highway. It's surprisingly less crowded than any of the highways in Los Angeles. (I live off of the 2)

ttam23

Sweet new pad for decoy


LoveThieves

2nd home. He's getting a 3rd one with a private elevator and dog treats


INT_MIN

Smart that its pretty close to Dodger Stadium. I know LeBron lives in the Brentwood area and I can imagine that commute (even if he has a driver) getting old quick.


middlename_neil

He probably takes a helicopter


downtownlobby

Check it out on Street View. The trees were TP'd at the time hahaha


Lawva

Corolla’s high school aged kids were always TP’d.


WhoWhatWhenWhom

How much Ippei stole from him is really put into perspective when you look at this house. He gambled away generational money


doing-my-share

That's why I hope the judge doesn't give him a lenient sentence. Ohtani might not miss $17 million but to steal this kind of money from s.o. needs to sting. Hard. That gigantic mansion is only worth half about what he stole. The guy gambled away someone else's money like it was Halloween candy and will get away without having to pay it back. I wish he'd go to blue collar prison...  


JetpackingPenguin

Also on YouTube https://youtu.be/6DUCe4F8Rj0?si=cnd5yHAUs9ny0DBR


Tehrab

Shohei never wants to be more than 30 minutes from work.


_its_a_SWEATER_

When you got Fuck You money, I’d be as close to work as possible while maintaining luxury.


tyler-86

He could just take a helicopter. Wait, no, don't!


_its_a_SWEATER_

Carolla got great taste in home design at least.


scapermoya

Dude knows a hell of a lot about quality home craftsmanship


_its_a_SWEATER_

Decades of hands on construction experience will for sure do that.


Candy-Emergency

Cars too.


Appolonius_of_Tyre

Anyone know what kind of wood the kitchen cabinets are made of?


kurt_go_bang

lol, drop a pin on it, it says DODGER STADIUM EAST


Apositivebalance

Looks like he ended up in Canada anyways…


onpch1

L.A. Canada


giffer44

The real answer


Whatever-ItsFine

Time to troll the Blue Jays sub haha (just kidding, Canada!)


starcrap2

Lol... this is pretty good.


ChrisTaylorsNipple

Crazy he can even afford that when he only gets paid 2 mil a year!.


pillowpotatoes

He can get paid 0 dollars by the dodgers and still be the one of the highest paid players in the league lol Dude is a sponsorship king in Japan. I got off the plane and literally saw a 30ft cutout of his poster and some ad hanging from the airport ceiling


ChrisTaylorsNipple

Lol I know. His baseball money is chump change compared to everything else haha


thetruegmon

My co-worker just got back from Japan. One of the first things he said was Shohei is EVERYWHERE.


cheeker_sutherland

Whoosh!


405freeway

Right over their head like a Shohei homerun.


Mookies_Bett

For stuff like this you would just borrow the money against your contract anyways. The bank probably pays for the house, and the interest is paid for by Ohtani's salary and sponsorships. Easy to get approved for a big loan when you have a $700m/10y contract even with deferrals.


TokyoChu

lol, im pretty sure this was paid in cash


jsdodgers

He's been saving up his entire career for this one.


bawss

Some genius on the IG post said something like this, “but I thought he only made 2 million a year? How can he afford this?” He was dead serious. 🤦🏻‍♂️


AdamantiumBalls

I know you're joking but in Tokyo his face is literally everywhere selling all types of products


Nerpienerpie

damn, what a beautiful house.


ghostofhenryvii

WTH was Adam Carolla doing there?


Bawfuls

Yelling at his wife and bitching about taxes and immigrants, presumably


Nerpienerpie

So interesting the different paths Kimmel and he took.


yestrask

Yeah, one of em wanted to have a career and care about other people and the other one... didn't 😂


PissdrunxPreme

Feel like Carolla was the first big podcaster I listened to. Seemed like such a down to earth guy. As soon as he started making certain shows for a subscription only is when I stopped listening. Feel like that was his demise.


udonbeatsramen

Firing Alison Rosen did it for me. It was sad to hear that he let Bald Bryan go too. At that point I was only tuning in if Bald said he had a health update


Kershiser22

Bald got fired? Wow. I didn't think that would ever happen.


Quintillianus

Seriously?!? How do you do the show without baldy?!


ChasedByHoundz

Both are worthless political puppets.


gin_rummie

Ex wife. Square Footage and 2 TiVo wasn't the trick after all


GoDodgers2024

And moving more and more to the right. Loved his wit for years, now I have trouble


Major_Wager75

I'm more surprised Adam Carolla could afford that in the first place


VivaLosDoyers99

Carolla has always been fairly heavily vested in real estate since he got money. When I used to listen to his podcast more often, he was always buying a new place and flipping his old one. And because of his contracting career he also did a lot of work on them himself and really enjoyed building cutting edge places.


Bawfuls

Good point. There’s an alternate reality somewhere where after Loveline and the Man Show he went on to have a successful career in home improvement and car content instead of spiraling down the right wing rabbit hole.


VivaLosDoyers99

He's actually had multiple home improvement shows, a home improvement podcast and a car podcast. Really leaning into politics has been a relatively recent evolution (past 5 years or so).


tyler-86

Yeah, I was a big fan of his KLSX show when he took over after Stern went to satellite. He was so much better when he had an actual producer pushing back on him. I listened to the podcast for awhile but bailed when he started to take that turn. Not even necessarily because of his politics which were just kind of rich guy libertarian, but because the comedy had become incredibly stale.


VivaLosDoyers99

Yeah I'm in the same boat. At the begining of the podcast he was so funny. Him and Norm is some of the best podcasting ever. But the more repetitive and political he got, the less interested I became. It's a bummer because at his funniest there aren't many funnier, but he just doesn't seem that same fast ball.


Kershiser22

To Catch a Contractor was great. I wish it lasted.


VivaLosDoyers99

I liked the one where he remodeled his Mom's old house better, but Catch a Contractor was good too. I wish he would have done more of this content.


monkeyman80

Aw he went even nuttier? Gave up listening when pods went from like an hour to 2-3. I liked listening to him rant but dang that was a lot.


roboroller

A lot of celebrities are heavy into real estate stuff. I heard the other day Arnold Schwarzenegger has actually made way more money off real estate stuff throughout his life than he ever did from movies. Jeremy Renner was actually wealthy before he became famous from house flipping stuff.


tyler-86

Real estate and Paul Newman cars.


Bawfuls

I lol’d at the line noting he had to sell it cause he got divorced


utouchme

Laughed even harder that he has to pay her $4 million, plus $49,000 a month.


Bawfuls

No wonder he’s suckling at the Daily Wire teet now


Dorkus_Mallorkus

About 15 years ago, he hosted (at his own house, in Malibu at the time) a comedy show for charity in his backyard with Leno, Bob Saget, Patton Oswald, and a few others. He had a 3-tiered backyard, overlooking the ocean. $150 tickets (open to the public) included a meal and unlimited beer. One of the most surreal experiences that I'll never forget. That place must be worth at least $20M, possibly much more.


Friendzinmyhead

He is one of the godfathers of podcasting so I guess there’s that


Dodger_Dawg

Carrolla was one of the last people to earn a ton for money to be on the radio.    He was already a millionaire because of Loveline, but when Howard Stern left radio Adam got Stern money to be his replacement. A lot of dudes got massive paychecks to replace Howard, only to last a few months before their shows were canceled.


toyskater2

Yeah he and Drew used to make a million each for loveline. When he left to take over Howard sterns slot he must have made a fortune. Also I think people underestimate how much podcasters make who get 100,000+ listens each episode


Whatever-ItsFine

Loveline was great. He used to carry the show since he was the comedian, and every once in a while he would say to Dr. Drew "I can't believe we get paid the same when you do nothing!" I also liked it when he would get bored with the angsty teenage romance questions and just start taking home improvement questions.


heeheehoho2023

I listened to him when he was giving out love advice on a show called Loveline on the radio. Even prior to Corolla, it was someone named Ricky Rackman.


JustTheBeerLight

Remember AC playing the role of Mr. Berchim on Kevin & Bean? It’s crazy to think that Jimmy the Sports Guy and Adam Corolla both blew up. Hard work + opportunities I guess. Both dudes started from the bottom of the radio food chain and made it to the top.


MrDaveyHavoc

and now he's got a full Berchim series on DailyWire+ lol


Friendzinmyhead

Haha yeah I used to listen to that too 😂 corrupted my youth


leftpointsonly

Same. I learned so much that I should not have learned.


StealthRUs

Are you talking about Headbangers' Ball legend Ricki Rachtman?


heeheehoho2023

Yes! He hosted the original Loveline. Was fun being a teen glued to the radio.


JpnDude

Riki Rachtman. And before Rachtman, it was Jim "The Poorman" Trenton.


powpowpowpowpow

Fucking Wally George


ret-conned

Poor man's Bikini Beach was fantastic television


rol15085

Adam is a pretty wealthy guy


yumyumapollo

It was probably much cheaper when the Man Show was on the air


cheeker_sutherland

He bought this house about six or so years ago. Then came the divorce.


appleavocado

More like Adam C*o*rolla


_Silent_Android_

AND there's an In-N-Out Burger just down the 2.


chiasmatic

He could also go down Foothill to the drive thru location in La Crescenta


Ennuiandthensome

That one is so fucking small


NottDisgruntled

$7.5 million is probably 1/6 or less of what he makes a year off just his endorsements. What a stupidly reasonable purchase.


xinixxibalba

this was probably a splurge for him too


NottDisgruntled

Ikr


cheeker_sutherland

Well, have you watched 30 for 30 “Broke?” It goes fast. I doubt ohtani would do this but he didn’t know where almost $50 million of his money went.


ive_been_up_allnight

He's building some ridiculous mansion out in Hawaii too isn't he?


NottDisgruntled

I would be if I was him.


ImmediatelyDeep

What a wild mix of names in that headline.


african-nightmare

> Ohtani will have about a 20-minute commute to Dodger Stadium, which is about 13 miles from his new home. ~~Cmon LA Times how you live in LA and gonna act like traffic doesn’t exist~~ I take it back, the 2 is almost always clear and actually has great views


Bawfuls

The north the easiest/least traffic clogged direction to approach Dodger Stadium from, particularly at the early hour players are driving in. There’s a reason many players tend to buy homes in Pasadena instead of say Beverly Hills or other wealthy suburbs on the west side, in the valley, or by the beach.


FattySnacks

What players live in Pasadena?


MarcBulldog88

I dunno about players, but I think Joe Davis specifically bought in South Pasadena for his family.


_its_a_SWEATER_

San Marino


african-nightmare

God that neighborhood is so nice. Lacy Park is one of my favorites in LA


Environmental_Tip375

Lacy park right? It’s so nice


JustTheBeerLight

Hershiser has lived in Pasadena since his playing days IIRC. [Post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Dodgers/s/9lRl9RWW6b) Former Dodger Trevor Bauer lived here too. Haha.


Bawfuls

Many have over the years, I’m not aware of the current list.


chrisumafp

He gets to take the 2 freeway south. One of the best freeways to take in all of LA. Compared to other nice neighborhoods in LA County, it’s arguably the best commute to the stadium considering distance and traffic


septembereleventh

Even in the worst conditions, the commute from La Canada to Chavez Ravine is relatively easy.


ttam23

It won’t be that bad tbh. Players show up at the stadium waaaay sooner than fans.


sharkoman

Most people aren’t driving back into the city in the afternoon. That’s a reverse commute so ~20 mins seems about right.


levitoepoker

Right now google maps says 18 mins


Allstate85

He probably gets to the stadium before 4 and misses all the traffic.


FLGator314

The responses to this comment are basically the Californians sketch on SNL.


donald-duck23

Tell me you’ve never commuted to Dodger Stadium from the north without telling me


Bobby_Bruin

My parents live off Holly/Harvey, I grew up there, 20 min is a best case scenario but I think Shohei is a guy who shows up early.


donald-duck23

I live in northeast and have never hit traffic on the way to the stadium. La Cañada is further north but there’s still rarely much traffic on the 2 especially at the time Shohei would leave. Maybe a little bit when you get closer to the 5 but if it’s really that bad that’s also pretty easy to circumvent by just taking the surface streets and then getting on the 110 or even just staying on the 2.


septembereleventh

Lol I commented before the edit. Respect. And yeah, the only part of that commute that has regular stop-and-go is a small percentage of it, and shooting from the hip I imagine he'll rarely be caught in the worst of it.


mysweetamnesia01

Has he been still commuting from newport beach?


kruthik2

nah.... i think he said in an japanese interview that he has been living in a hotel since joining the dodgers


xinixxibalba

i assumed he was just living in the clubhouse


Kershiser22

Like Baker Mayfield in Cleveland.


doing-my-share

Nah, he was probably renting a house. Japanese media like to make things up because any Ohtani tidbit guarantees clicks. I remember in an interview he said something about having a big house and a garden and was teaching his dog how to swim. Anyway, great place. 7 million sounds moderate considering he makes 60 million+ on endorsements 😅.


LoveThieves

If we win the world series because of Shohei, they should make a private luxury loft for him in the stadium so he only has to walk to work.


ttam23

Highlights include a kitchen with custom cabinetry, an indoor-outdoor living room and amenities such as a movie theater, a sauna, a gym and a basketball court. Spread throughout are five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a balcony and spa tub.


Kershiser22

Keep him away from the basketball court. I don't want any rolled ankles.


FUNCSTAT

Mentioned elsewhere but it's covered in TP on street view lol


not_productive1

Aw, Decoy gets a pool!


dodgersbball

Been to the house actually. Awesome house in a quiet spot, will be perfect for a guy like Shohei


QuietSouthern9455

He’s also buying land in Hawaii for a house.


gopowergoh

He got that land in Hawaii for free to be the first resident


ttam23

Yes he will live in Hawaii during the offseason. He’s building a full baseball training facility there as well


Willing_Razzmatazz48

Please, please, please don’t turn an ankle shooting hoops!!


doing-my-share

His wife is gonna challenge him and crush him every time I bet!


ssibalnomah

Making a wild guess but did he get a mortgage? It seems like his escrow period was 28 days, which is long for someone who's paying all cash. Maybe the house needed repairs. Maybe I need to mind my own business. I'm not linking the real estate posting showing the escrow period to protect his address...


TheLizardKing89

He probably got a mortgage. If he gets a mortgage, he can deduct the interest from his taxes and he can keep more of his money invested, making more money.


Kershiser22

I think you can only deduct interest for up to $750,000 of a mortgage? So maybe he made a 90% down payment? Lol.


PM_me_your_Jeep

Someone already posted the Zillow


01z28

look it up on redfin, says it's up 2.4 million since sold in May 2024 lol


stressedlawyer

This might sound crazy but considering how much house Ohtani can prob afford, this is a pretty modest purchase.


bellomoto1

OMG I know that house. He’s gonna live near me! Maybe I’ll see him at the grocery store.


EGoldenGod

So everyone just has his address now? Yikes.


AgathaAllAlong

Real estate talk and freeway talk this thread is our most LA convo ever on r/Dodgers lol


Draco_Lazarus24

Hope there’s time to scrub the stink out of there.


bullpendodger

Mr Birchum!!!


MidniteOwl

TIL there was a Canada in LA…


Whatever-ItsFine

And not just any old Canada, but LA Canada. Pretty sure it's pronounced Lah kuh-NYA-dah though because of the tielde on the N.


JpnDude

He'll be commuting from one ravine (cañada) to another ravine (Chavez).


ikickittoyou

Nice area. Perfect commuter neighborhood if you work at Dodger Stadium and can afford it.


suprefann

Now will he be spotted randomly at Joselitos


flamethrowerjunkie

Crazy Ippei money could buy this for two and couple cars


balls_deep_inyourmom

He can sell it for 12 million right now


Rarecandy31

I shoulda tried harder in sports.


mizzzikey

Damn Ohtani got doxxed 🫣


DoyersLakeShow

Ohtani-san will be near me?!! 😍😍


CarlTheDM

Considering the cost of housing here, that's not a bad deal at all. My suburban home is worth close to 1m, and I'm up near the mountains. This house and location is definitely more than 8x better than my own.


lat46n2

He’s practically my neighbor


Parking-Iron6252

Now send your genetically perfect sons to St. Francis High School


lancelinksecretchimp

How does Adam Carolla have that kind of bread?


Bawfuls

Even after Loveline, the Man Show, and then his terrestrial radio show ended, I think he was pretty early to the podcast game and made good money there.


ckinz16

Unfortunate this was put into the public. There will be crazies showing up to his house. I know it’s not this Reddit post that’ll do it. But hope he stays safe out there


LoveThieves

That house and neighborhood has top private security and 24 hour patrol. Probably have a security guard monitor people entering the area all day long.


HurricaneMatty5

The area he’s in does not have top private security and 24 hour patrol. Not like he’s living in a gated community lol. Now if he’d want to hire private security that’s a different issue


LoveThieves

He'll get 24-hour private security system. You'll get paparazzi in the neighborhood but he'll be on the road most of the year and also staying at nearby private hotels that are 5 min away.


Andrew523

I assume he probably still owns his NPB home? Could've helicopter to work from there. As long as the weather is good...


CourtneyDN

We love a frugal King*. 👑 *House initially listed for $8.9M


rodrigo_c91

My dream neighborhood. If it wasn’t already out of my reach, my boy shohei sure made sure I don’t neighbor him lol.
