Lauren Conrad buys $3.7m LA home

Lauren Conrad has paid $3.74 million for a new home.

The former 'Hills' star splashed out the huge sum on the mansion in the exclusive Brentwood district of Los Angeles, according to TMZ.

The property boasts 4,300 sq ft and has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a luxury kitchen and was recently updated by celebrity interior designer Jeff Lewis, the star of 'Flipping Out'.

If Lauren ever feels like getting sporty she can work up a sweat at the house's private basketball court and afterwards she could relax in the impressive garden.

Lauren will be able to count some of Hollywood's biggest stars as her neighbours as Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner, Liev Schreiber and his partner Naomi Watts and Gisele Bundchen and her husband Tom Brady.

Lauren won't be moving into her home alone as she will have her pet dog Chloe to keep her company.

The 27-year-old beauty adopted the mutt from a rescue shelter last October after falling in love with her during a visit.
