This is the exclusive Madrid neighbourhood where Amber Heard is rebuilding her life following her ‘career-ending’ courtroom defeat to ex-husband Johnny Depp.

The actress, 38, has become ‘well and truly integrated’ into the Spanish capital’s elite after buying a €1.5million home in the trendy northern district of Chamartin.

The five-bed property, featuring a garden and three bathrooms, counts millionaires, footballers and politicians as neighbours – who all enjoy being just a short drive from the heart of the city centre.

Heard’s pad was first built in the 1960s but reportedly underwent renovations shortly before being sold to the actress.

Her move to Spain came after she settled a $50m defamation lawsuit with Pirates of the Caribbean star Depp, 61, in 2022.

Initially moving to Mallorca – the actress rented a property under the name of Martha Jane Cannary, the real name of legendary Wild West cowgirl Calamity Jane, before settling in Madrid.

Once a red carpet mainstay, the American actress – who is expecting her second child – has sought out anonymity, far from Los Angeles and the Hollywood film industry that turned her into a household name.

Without fuss and courting little publicity, Heard quietly gave up her fast-paced life in southern California and moved to Spain with infant daughter Oonagh Paige -who she welcomed via surrogate a year earlier – in 2022.

The Texas native has not worked as an actress since, with some Hollywood insiders claiming she was ‘blacklisted’ following the widely-televised trial.

In the immediate fallout, Heard sought refuge in Mallorca, where she initially moved with her daughter, now three, and her current photographer girlfriend Bianca Butti, 43, before deciding to settle in Madrid last year.

It was a calculated move, with Heard said to be keen on distancing herself – quite literally – from the fallout of the defamation trial launched by ex-husband Depp over claims made by the actress that she suffered domestic abuse at his hands.

The six week trial, held at Fairfax County Court in Virginia, was won by Depp, with Heard ordered to pay $1million in damages – reduced from an initial $10m – to the Hollywood star.

The outcome would be the catalyst for geographical change as Heard became the subject of death threats and humiliating memes.

‘The trial was beyond stressful, and she wanted to start fresh,’ a source told PEOPLE, adding she now ‘has new energy and is focused on things that she loves.’

Speaking on her move, a neighbour in El Viso told MailOnline this week: ‘She lives here and I often see her walking her daughter to school in the mornings.

‘She wears a cap and sunglasses and normal clothes and keeps a low profile.

‘She lives here in peace, this is a neighbourhood filled with famous people, including football players, but no one bothers each other, I think that’s why she likes it – she has completely integrated into the community.’

Heard’s neighbour added: ‘When Amber first arrived there were lots of photographers parked outside the home but now there are none.

‘No one here really knows who she is, they don’t recognise her in the street like they would in America.

‘When I saw all the commotion around her I had to ask my friend who she was and she explained she was Johnny Depp’s ex.’

Pointing to another house she added: ‘An Atlético Madrid player lives there and no one even knows it, everyone keeps to themselves.’

So committed is she to embracing local culture, Heard has even learned the language, with her impressive command of Spanish evident in a recent TikTok video.

Heard’s daughter Oonagh attends a private catholic school for children aged one to six that teaches in both English and Spanish.

As the photographers congratulated her she responded in Spanish: ‘Thank you very much. It is my private life and I ask for respect.’
