Jennifer Lawrence, one of Hollywood’s most decorated and bankable stars, has quietly made a strategic shift in her personal life, trading the high-profile demands of the West Coast for a grounded, family-focused existence on the East Coast. Her statement, “My whole life just started over,” encapsulates her current chapter, which is centered around her luxurious New York City base with her husband, art dealer Cooke Maroney.
🗽 The East Coast Anchor: West Village Townhouse
The couple, who married in 2019, primarily reside in an expansive, high-security townhouse in Manhattan’s exclusive West Village neighborhood.1 This move firmly establishes New York as their main family home, accommodating their two-year-old son, Cy, and their plans for a second child.
| Property Data | Detail | Context/Significance |
| Location | West Village, Manhattan (specifically 17 Jane Street). | Located in a boutique, new six-story condo building designed by famed architect Sir David Chipperfield. |
| Purchase Price | $21.9 million (purchased in 2020). | The property is a duplex townhouse-style unit spanning two floors (the first and second) of the building. |
| Size & Layout | Approximately 4,510 square feet indoors. | Features a spacious open-plan layout on the main floor, including a chef’s kitchen, and four bedrooms on the upper floor. |
| Luxury Amenities | Private Backyard/Garden, Private Elevator Access from a resident-only garage, wine cellar, and high-end finishes like wide-plank oak flooring and marble. | The private backyard space is a rare luxury in Manhattan, highly valued for their young family. |
The actress’s commitment to New York was underscored by a significant real estate shift: she recently divested herself of a separate, long-held $11 million Beverly Hills property in September 2025 (selling it to actress Cara Delevingne), prioritizing her East Coast sanctuary.
🎥 J-Law’s Hollywood Footprint: Meaningful New Projects
While Lawrence has deliberately put the most strenuous aspects of her public career on hold to focus on family, she remains active in the industry, choosing projects that align with her current priorities. This includes her roles as both an actress and producer, notably:
- Die My Love (Upcoming Film): Lawrence stars alongside Robert Pattinson in this dramatic film, which is an adaptation of the novel by Ariana Harwicz.2 It is directed by the acclaimed Lynne Ramsay (known for We Need to Talk About Kevin) and explores the visceral topic of a mother’s descent into postpartum depression and psychosis.3 The film was a competitor for the Palme d’Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.4
- Zurawski v Texas (Documentary): Lawrence served as an Executive Producer on this completed 2024 documentary.5 The film follows a group of women who were denied abortions under Texas’s restrictive bans as they sue the state to regain their reproductive rights, aligning with Lawrence’s known advocacy work.6
Her current life demonstrates a successful balancing act: maintaining her status as an Oscar winner (for Silver Linings Playbook at age 22) and a Hollywood powerhouse while building a grounded, private family base in the heart of New York City.
