Ryan Tedder does not really have a house. He has a sequence of them. The OneRepublic frontman and songwriter has spent more than a decade buying Los Angeles properties, renovating them seriously rather than cosmetically, and selling them on. The best-known is a 1959 midcentury house he bought for under $7.5 million, restored, and sold to Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber for $11.625 million in 2017.
That is the useful frame for anyone searching for the Ryan Tedder house. The properties are real, and the work on them is substantial, but most were projects with an intended exit rather than homes he settled into. The exception is Colorado, where he has kept a family compound outside Denver for years.
This guide covers the transactions that are actually documented, the renovation work behind them, the Denver base, and what can and cannot be said about where he lives now.

Who is Ryan Tedder?
Ryan Tedder is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known as the frontman of OneRepublic and as one of the most commercially successful songwriters of his generation, with credits across a long list of major pop artists. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1979 and grew up there, moving to Colorado Springs for his final year of high school; he co-founded OneRepublic in Colorado Springs in 2002 with a classmate, Zach Filkins. The band continues to tour internationally, with dates announced into 2026.
He is married to Genevieve Tedder, and the two work on their property projects together rather than him buying alone. That partnership is central to the pattern described below: these are design-led renovations, not simple flips.
The Beverly Hills house he sold to Cindy Crawford
The best-documented property in his record is a midcentury modern house in Trousdale Estates, built in 1959, which he bought from the film producer Gregory Goodman and his husband, Paul Langh, for $7.485 million. Coverage at the time reported that the Tedders never actually lived in it.
They worked with Alvarez Morris Architectural Studio, a Denver practice, to restore and extend it. The work was not superficial: they added a bedroom and a family room, updated the bathrooms and the building’s systems, and replaced the original carport with a three-car garage. The finished house runs 5,386 square feet with five bedrooms and six bathrooms, including a centre-island kitchen and a living room divided by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and wet bar. It sits on roughly an acre, with a pool, a spa, a fire pit and a covered barbecue station.
It was listed in June 2017 at $12.75 million and sold later that year for $11.625 million to Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. That is a little over a million below the asking price, which is a normal outcome at that level, and more than $4 million above what he paid, before the cost of the renovation is taken into account.
The house has kept rising in value since. Crawford and Gerber put it back on the market at $15.99 million in 2020 and sold it in August 2021 for $13.5 million to Jan Koum, the WhatsApp co-founder, who was already their neighbour.
The approach, restoring a period house rather than replacing it, puts him on the right side of a debate that recurs constantly in Los Angeles, and which is set out in the account of the restored Steve McQueen house in Palm Springs.
The second Trousdale house
In May 2015, only months after buying the Goodman house, he bought a second house in the same neighbourhood for close to $12 million. This one was a mid-1960s modern that had already been renovated, with interiors by the designer Trip Haenisch, on nearly half an acre at the end of a cul-de-sac. It has six bedrooms, counting a staff suite and a skylit guesthouse.
Unlike most of his purchases, it was held for years. It came back on the market in the summer of 2022 at $16.495 million, updated again by the Tedders. No sale has been reported since, and whether it sold, was withdrawn, or is still his is not established by the sources reviewed here.
The other Los Angeles properties
The Trousdale houses were not isolated. Tedder bought a house in Venice in October 2013 for $2.85 million and sold it five months later for just under $3 million, a much shorter hold that reads as a straightforward flip rather than a design project.
In 2017, The Real Deal reported that an LLC linked to him had acquired a West Hollywood property for $8.25 million, describing it as yet another Los Angeles purchase in an established pattern. Precise details of what he did with it, and whether it has since been sold, are not documented in the sources reviewed here.
Taken together, the record shows someone treating Los Angeles residential property as an active occupation alongside music. That is unusual among musicians, most of whom buy one house and keep it, as the coverage of Kevin Parker’s homes and studios illustrates.
The Denver compound and Cherry Creek
His longest-standing home is in Colorado rather than California. Property coverage in both 2015 and 2017 described a custom compound near Denver, with a main house, a pool house, and a recording studio, as his long-term residence while the Los Angeles houses came and went. Neither its purchase price nor even the town it is in has ever been reported. The studio side of his Colorado life is better documented: Patriot Studios, his Denver studio, is where OneRepublic recorded part of Counting Stars, and Leona Lewis’s Glassheart took shape in sessions at his Denver family home.
His other Colorado involvement is development rather than residential. He has been reported by the Denver Business Journal as the principal investor behind a luxury housing project in Cherry Creek, one of Denver’s most expensive neighbourhoods. That is a business interest, not a home, and it should not be counted among his residences.
Where does Ryan Tedder live now?
The public record does not establish a single current residence, and the pattern described above is the reason: a buyer who repeatedly renovates and sells does not leave behind a stable answer.
What can be said is that his documented homes fall in two places. Los Angeles is where his residential deals have been concentrated, and the Denver area is where the compound has been described as his long-term base. Various sites also credit him with a Denver home valued at around $3 million, and an apartment in Manhattan reported at around $11 million. The Denver compound is real, but no valuation of it is on record. The Manhattan apartment is not supported by a property record, a listing, or mainstream reporting, and should be treated as unverified.
The honest summary is that Tedder divides his life between Los Angeles and Colorado, that no Los Angeles home of his has been confirmed since the 2022 listing, and that any page offering you a definitive house of his with a price attached is probably describing one he has already sold.
Why his record looks different from most musicians’
Most successful musicians appear in property coverage twice: once when they buy something large, and once when they sell it years later. Tedder appears repeatedly, at intervals of a year or two, which is the signature of someone doing this deliberately.
Two things make it work. The first is that he and his wife bring an actual design programme to each property rather than repainting and relisting, which is why the 1959 house sold to buyers with their own considerable taste in architecture and then kept appreciating after they sold it. The second is that his income does not depend on any of it. A songwriter with his catalogue can afford to hold a project until it is finished properly, which is precisely the advantage most speculative renovators lack.
