Visit Kendrick Lamar’s childhood home in poor neighborhood in LA
Born and raised in the underprivileged Compton neighborhood of Los Angeles. He currently lives in Manhattan Beach, a luxury coastal city, in a $9.7 mιllιon mansion. The rap music superstar, who has won 13 Grammy awards, the Pulitzer Prize, among many other accolades, has also upgraded his family’s Los Angeles mansions to more sumptuous homes as his fɑme has increased.
Lamar purchased a home in a guard-gated neighborhood in Calabasas for $2.7 mιllιon in 2017. His parents, Paula Oliver and Kenny Duckworth, as well as his younger sister live there. The 34-year-old also still owns the two-story house his parents and brothers lived in before relocating to Calabasas, which is located in the inconspicuous city of Eastvale in San Bernardino County, roughly an hour east of Los Angeles.
Lamar has finally gotten around to selling his Eastvale home, and he’s asking $800,000 for it. Fortunately for him, the market is booming. If he can obtain even close to his asking price, which is extremely likely based on comparable sales in the neighborhood, he will profit handsomely from the sale. Public records show that he spent $523,400 on the property in 2014.
The large, but otherwise average 2006 construction has four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms spread across around 3,500 square feet. A three-car garage dominates the home’s front façade, while areas of grassy lawn offer welcome reprieve for pets and other residents. For atmosphere, there is a tiny covered veranda and a few palm trees.
The extended Lamar family has long since left the Eastvale residence, according to a quick glance at the listing images; the interior of the house is completely empty and unstaged. The formal living and dining rooms, like the home’s staircases and bedrooms, are carpeted from floor to ceiling. The double-height foyer has travertine flooring. The next kitchen has stainless steel appliances of middling grade and granite counters, and farther back is a triangular family area with a fireplace.
A bedroom suite on the main floor of the house is perfect for overnight guests. The master bedroom, which has dual vanities, an integrated soaking tub, and a roomy walk-in closet, is among the remaining three bedrooms on the second level. Large windows look out onto a modestly sized yard that has a built-in BBQ pit beneath a loggia with two ceiling fans. In addition, the home is one of the few in the surrounding area with a private pool and spa, which is a major plus in the Inland Empire’s oppressive heat.
Appreciate what you see? Be more hasty! The listing states that all bids must be submitted by Tuesday, June 22 at 9 a.m. This is a clear sign that the seller (and his agents) are preparing for a competitive bidding process
