Howard Dorough House

Howard Dorough, better know as "Howie D" of The Backstreet Boys was born August 22, 1973 in Orlando, Florida. Howie D has decided to snatch up some new luxury real estate - this time outside of Florida. Howie shelled out nearly $2.8 million for a home in the trendy Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles.

Howie D's new home sits on just over a half acre and boasts three bedrooms, three bathrooms, over 2,300 square feet, and a large upper level deck which offers great hill and city views.

Howie put the home on the market in late April 2010 with an asking price $2,475,000 but took it off the market in November when it did not sell.
