Sylvester Stallone has officially traded Hollywood’s glare for Florida’s glow, settling into a lavish Palm Beach estate that’s become a social-media sensation after the actor opened its doors to cameras and fans.
In recent interviews, the “Rocky” and “Tulsa King” star explained why the move suits him: Florida’s “clean air,” water, and overall vibe “fit my personality better,” he said, after he and wife Jennifer Flavin left Los Angeles for good in 2024. Their relocation was chronicled on The Family Stallone and has since been the subject of fresh profiles. (People.com)
The couple’s Palm Beach compound—purchased for about $35.4 million—has become part of the lore. Designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard and featured this summer in Veranda’s September/October issue, the property stands out as the only house in Palm Beach with its own private beach, and it includes a theater showcasing Stallone memorabilia from “Rocky” and “First Blood.” Recent photo and video walk-throughs lit up Instagram and entertainment media, with fans marveling at the mix of “laid-back glamour” and family-first warmth.

Stallone and Flavin first planted roots in Palm Beach in late 2020, then made the switch permanent after selling their California properties, including a Hidden Hills estate, as part of a broader life reset now that their daughters are grown. Coverage of the Palm Beach spread—and even the neighbors’ strong opinions about proposed shoreline work—has kept the home in the headlines. (Los Angeles Times)

A lifestyle pivot, not a slowdown
Stallone, who once studied at the University of Miami, says Florida feels like a return to form. The family still splits time at other properties—including a Hamptons home purchased last year for their daughters—but Palm Beach is their base. “It just fits,” he’s said—an assessment echoed by fans who devour every glimpse of the compound.

From the Gulf Stream breeze to the private cinema packed with boxing lore, Stallone’s Florida chapter is less about retreat than reinvention: a megastar embracing a sunnier pace—without dimming the spotlight one bit.
