Before parting ways, Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger shared this impressive estate tucked into the hills of Sherman Oaks. Lavigne, a pop-punk icon best known for early 2000s anthems like Complicated and Girlfriend, married Kroeger—lead vocalist and guitarist of the rock band Nickelback—in 2013. Though their marriage ended in 2015, the pair remained close and later acquired this Los Angeles property together in 2020. The home became a retreat where their shared creative lives could unfold in privacy and comfort.
Their former property, located in the exclusive Longridge Estates enclave, was originally built in 1989 and fully renovated in 2020. The traditional-style residence spans 10,200 square feet and features six bedrooms and nine full bathrooms. Set on a nearly two-thirds-acre flat lot, the home offers generous outdoor space in addition to its expansive interior layout.
Now on the market for $14,999,000, this estate is designed for both grand entertaining and private escape. From a formal entry with a dramatic double staircase to a saltwater pool, detached theater, and Control4 smart system, the home combines thoughtful upgrades with timeless appeal—all just minutes from the heart of Sherman Oaks.
