Inside the Rentals Hiding Elizabeth Holmes in ‘You Can See Everything’

The luxury rental market usually shows up online in brightly lit, heavily staged listings. The homes in the documentary You Can See Everything look nothing like that. According to a Curbed report, director Lance Oppenheim and cinematographer David Bolen shot with very little artificial light, on actual film, so every crack and dust mote shows. The houses that Elizabeth Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, rented before she reported to federal prison are the kind of oddities that tend to appear when wealthy owners build something they never want to live in themselves.

Curbed pieced together two of the homes where most of the action unfolds. In Del Mar, California, the house at 2986 Sandy Lane is a dark, low-ceilinged mid-century property walled in honey-colored wood. It has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, but the report describes little that reads as luxury: white Formica countertops, a black microwave and a dated mauve stand-up shower. Paint peels outside, and Holmes’s belongings sit in storage bins on the driveway. Curbed notes the draw may have been privacy. A local broker quoted by Realtor.com cited a private beach and a gated street, a real perk for a couple trying to escape paparazzi.

The rental terms remain murky. In the film, Nathan Fielder says the home is a rental, but the last public rental listing dates to 2015, when the asking rent was $5,650 a month. Curbed suggests Evans may have struck an off-market deal. Two tipsters reportedly told Substack writer Carson Griffith that the Evans family knew the owners, and Griffith reported a rent of $28,000 a month, though Curbed says it is unclear how she arrived at that figure. Zillow estimates the house’s value at $8.995 million. Property records show it has passed between relatives since 1994 and is now owned by three members of the Bedell family, per a 2022 transfer.

The second home, at 606 Josephine Street in Austin, Texas, is where Evans is filmed raising the couple’s two children while Holmes is held at a federal prison in Bryan, about two hours away. Curbed says a broker recently shared the address on Instagram, claiming it matches the home in the film. It is currently listed for $2.25 million. The report describes a modern four-bedroom with barren white walls and the same kind of furniture seen on screen, including the L-shaped sofa and circular dining table. Evans appears to have used one bedroom as an office, and the house sits near the WeWork where he is running a new blood-testing start-up.

The listing history points to a stubborn sale. Brokerage records linked on Zillow show the property failed to sell at around the same price on and off since March 2022. Curbed reports the owners appear to have settled for renting it to Evans and the family in 2024, after advertising it at $8,750 per month. An older ad marked as leased promised an “unparalleled blend of comfort and convenience.” The less glamorous selling point, per Curbed, may be the gated parking and stone fence that keep cameras out.

The third location, a Texas rental where Holmes’s parents await her departure for prison and where Fielder asks his final questions, remains unidentified. Curbed says it could not track down the address, and notes that Evans’s name was not tied to any deeds, voting records or businesses at a Texas residential address. For anyone who works in luxury residential real estate, the takeaway is simple: privacy, not polish, can set the price.
