Forbes ^ | July 10, 2026 | David Hochman

The Pasadena, California, estate at 380 South San Rafael Avenue, known to generations of viewers as stately Wayne Manor from the 1960s Batman series, hit the market this week at $32 million. If it sells anywhere near that number, it will shatter the Pasadena residential record. The twist: the current record belongs to this same house, which traded off-market last July for $20.5 million.

No, apparently Aunt Harriet and Alfred are among the expulsions.

Per the article: One thing you will not find, despite decades of hopeful speculation: a Batcave. The show’s interiors, including the fireman’s poles behind the bookcase, were shot on soundstages at Culver City Studios. The Pasadena property provided only the exterior, made iconic by the show’s establishing shot with the Batmobile roaring down the drive.

Asking’s one thing. Getting’s another. One of my ex-neighbors listed his place for $2 million. He got $600K.

I remember hearing that it burned down a few years ago, but that must have been a mistake. It was a different house that burned.

After looking at the interior my wife would say "It's nice, but the kitchen's kinda small".
