Where Does Joe Burrow Live? Unpacking the Bengals Quarterback’s Real Estate Portfolio

He signed a record-breaking contract with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2023, but where does Joe Burrow live when he’s not on the field?The NFL quarterback was born in Ames, Iowa, in 1996. His family moved to Ohio when he was eight, and he has resided mostly in the Buckeye State ever since. Burrow played for Ohio State University from 2015 to 2017, then transferred as a graduate student to Louisiana State University, where he won the Heisman Trophy shortly before graduating in December 2019. He was drafted into the NFL the following year by his hometown Bengals, with whom he inked a $36.1 million, four-year contract—plus a $23.9 million signing bonus. Three years later, Burrow signed a $275 million five-year extension, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history at the time, according to ESPN.It’s unsurprising, then, that Burrow has put down roots in the Buckeye State. Below, we’re examining the quarterback’s real estate portfolio.Childhood homeIn May 2020, a month after being selected first overall in the NFL Draft, Burrow revealed that he was spending the pandemic lockdown in his old bedroom at his parents’ house in The Plains, Ohio, just outside of Athens. Interior design apparently wasn’t at the forefront of his mind; the room still had his childhood Star Wars curtains and posters on the wall, though he had given the bed a king-size upgrade in high school, replacing the Star Wars comforter that once rounded out the room’s theme. According to The Sun, the 1997-built residence sits on a cul-de-sac and has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.Cincinnati starter homeThe Bengals play at Paycor Stadium, formerly known as Paul Brown Stadium.

Located in the city’s historic Columbia-Tusculum area, the two-story property was built in 2014. Further details on the dwelling are scant—including whether or not Burrow still owns it. However, its location would make it a convenient place to stay during the NFL season.Join NowAD PRO members enjoy exclusive benefits.

In 2023, the quarterback paid $7.5 million for a three-acre property near Coldstream Country Club, about 20 minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Not long after the purchase, a source told the New York Post that Burrow was excited about the investment and planned to add a poolhouse to block outside views of the 7,300-square-foot main home, enhancing the residence’s privacy. Overlooking the Ohio River, the fully furnished 2014 build has four bedrooms and six bathrooms. It is located near the homes of two of Burrow’s teammates, Joe Mixon and Orlando Brown Jr., per the Post.In December 2024, Burrow’s residence was targeted by a group of thieves, who stole an estimated $300,000 worth of goods from the house while he was in Dallas for an NFL game. Among the items taken were two diamond necklaces emblazoned with the athlete’s initials and jersey number. The burglary is believed to have happened during a security team shift change. Burrow’s girlfriend, model Olivia Ponton, was reportedly at the residence when the burglary happened and called 911 and reported, “Someone broke into my house. It’s completely messed up.” The NFL star later made a statement about the unfortunate affair: “I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one. And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share, so that’s all I got to say about that.” It seems Burrow has retained ownership of the property.The QB’s contract with the Bengals extends through 2029, so he won’t likely be leaving Cincinnati any time soon.
