Where Does Dr. Oz Live in Florida? Inside His Palm Beach Mizner Estate

Where does Dr. Oz live? Part of the year in Palm Beach, Florida, where he owns Louwana, a landmarked 1919 oceanfront house by architect Addison Mizner. It is not his primary home. Reporting from his 2022 Senate run put his main residences in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and since 2025 his job has kept him in Washington. Here is what public records and reporting say about the Palm Beach estate, what it cost, how he has used it, and what homes around it sell for now.

Key takeaways

• Palm Beach, on the ocean. Oz and his wife Lisa bought Louwana through a trust in 2015, per CBS News and the Miami Herald. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses.
• Reported price: $18 million. County appraisal records later valued it above $36 million, CBS News reported in 2022.
• 18,559 square feet, 10 bedrooms, a 1919 Mizner design that the town has landmarked, with a two-year, $3 million renovation completed before 2022.
• A second home, and sometimes a rental. He listed it for lease in 2022 at $275,000 a month, then pulled the listing, per CBS News.

Where does Dr. Oz live in Florida?

The short answer is Palm Beach, the barrier island town across the Intracoastal from West Palm Beach. Oz's house sits directly on the Atlantic. The town has about 9,000 year-round residents and some of the highest home prices in the United States. Its oceanfront estates, many of them by Mizner and his 1920s contemporaries, rarely trade in public.

Oz bought his in 2015. CBS News reported that the deed lists Florida attorney Leslie Evans as trustee for the property, a common structure for high-profile buyers. The Miami Herald put the price at $18 million. In a 2018 interview with Boca Raton Magazine he called it "our house" and the magazine described him as a part-time Palm Beach resident. So the honest framing is a seasonal home he has held for more than a decade, not a place he lives full time.

The house has a name, Louwana, which is typical for Palm Beach estates of its era. The town's landmark designation protects the exterior. That matters for a buyer or owner nearby, because landmarked homes in Palm Beach come with both restrictions and a tax incentive, which Oz used.

Inside the reported Louwana estate

CBS News described a 10-bedroom historic beachfront mansion of 18,559 square feet. Real estate blogs that covered the 2015 sale, including one from NV Realty Group, said the lot runs to about 1.5 acres with roughly 150 feet of direct beach frontage. We treat those two figures as reported by brokers rather than by a newspaper.

Addison Mizner drew up the house in 1919, early in the run of Mediterranean Revival work that shaped the look of Palm Beach. Mizner also designed the Everglades Club and the original Boca Raton Resort. A Mizner oceanfront house with an intact footprint is rare, and that is a big part of why the county's appraisal climbed past $36 million by 2022.

The Trulia blog reported that the estate had earlier been offered for rent at about $90,000 a month. By 2022 the ask had risen to $275,000 a month, according to CBS News, before the listing came down during his Senate campaign. Public reporting does not say whether any tenant took it.

The renovation and the tax break

The Miami Herald reported in 2022 that Oz spent two years and about $3 million improving the house. Because the property is a town landmark, the work qualified for a historic preservation tax exemption. The paper estimated the exemption would trim about $60,000 from his property tax bills over the following decade. Palm Beach County commissioners approved it in February 2022.

The story became a campaign issue that year because Oz was running for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania while claiming a tax benefit in Florida. For a homeowner, though, the mechanics are useful to know. Florida allows local governments to grant a 10-year exemption on the added value from approved work to a historic property. Palm Beach uses it often, and it can offset part of the cost of restoring an older oceanfront house.

Why Dr. Oz chose Palm Beach

Oz has not given a detailed public reason for buying in Palm Beach. His comments to Boca Raton Magazine in 2018 were about enjoying the place with family. The timing fits a familiar pattern, though. He bought in 2015, in the middle of his daytime show's run, when many New York-based television figures added a winter home on the island.

Palm Beach also offers something few oceanfront towns do: an intact stock of 1920s estates with legal protection against teardown. For a buyer who wants a Mizner, there is no other market. And the town's landmark program, with its tax exemption, lowers the cost of taking on a century-old house. Those are the reported facts; anything beyond them would be a guess.

Where else does Dr. Oz live?

Quite a few places, according to the reporting from his Senate race. CBS News counted at least 18 properties in his name or his family's, of which about 10 had houses. He told the network that two were his real homes: a property in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, bought in 2021, and the Cliffside Park, New Jersey, house where he lived until 2020. The New Jersey home is near the Manhattan studio where he taped his show for 13 seasons.

Since April 2025 he has run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a job based in the Washington area. Public reporting has not said where he stays during the work week. It has also mentioned property in Turkey, where his parents were born, and hotel investments he sold in 2021. None of that changes the Florida picture: Palm Beach is one home among several, held since 2015.

What homes near Dr. Oz cost

Palm Beach is a small, expensive market. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows about 270 active listings in Palm Beach, with a median list price around $2.5 million and an average of about 191 days on market. That median includes condos along South Ocean Boulevard. Single-family homes on the ocean, like Louwana, start far higher and often trade off market.

Across the bridge, West Palm Beach has about 2,200 active listings with a median near $310,000 and an average of 116 days on market. It is the practical alternative for buyers who want the same zip of downtown and the same commute without island prices.
