Located on Long Island’s South Fork, the Hamptons are a popular, affluent vacation destination for some of the most famous celebrities in Hollywood, especially those who reside in New York City. Clean beaches, sprawling greenery, and secluded homes make the Hamptons irresistible to famous folks looking for refuge from the paparazzi. Rubbing shoulders with celebs in the summer months is a habit in the Hamptons.

Here’s a look at 8 famous homeowners in the Hamptons.

Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka

This couple of proud twin dads spend more than just the summers in the Hamptons. They decided to sell their New York City brownstone and move to their, relatively-speaking, modest summer estate. Harris and Burtka purchased a 13.5-acre East Hampton estate for $5.5 million in 2017. The home has a playground for their kids with a tennis court, pool, cabana and a rooftop hot tub, not to mention the acres of open meadows and gardens.

Also parents to twins, SJP and her husband, Matthew Broderick, fittingly own twin beach houses in Bridgehampton, across the street from each other. The two Victorian homes were built in 1865 and feature charming front porches perfect for summer night sitting.

Hugh Jackman

Jackman and his wife's $3.5 million Hamptons getaway is available to rent during the winter months, but it's going to cost you. According to the New York Post, it was most recently on the market for $166,666 per month. After it was purchased, the couple spent six years extensively renovating the property to turn it into a modern and minimalistic dream home.

Built around 1885, the historic property is known as the Edward DeRose Windmill Cottage. It was never a functional windmill but instead served as a playhouse before being transformed into a residential home. The unique home overlooks a beautiful church spire.
