After toiling through an endless trail of listings and showings, you’ve found your dream home. The only problem? The price tag that’s out of your budget.

If you’re struggling with summer’s departure, fear not: In Hollywood, it’s always bright and sunny. In fact, it’s rare to come across a big celebrity who doesn’t have a sparkling swimming pool in their backyard.
