Kevin Durant’s houses reflect the fact that, 17 years into his professional NBA career, he has played for five teams, scattered throughout just about every region of the United States. Naturally, the basketball great has built up quite the real estate portfolio, scooping up luxury properties in cities like Seattle, Oklahoma City, San Francisco, New York, and Phoenix (where he currently plays as a member of the Suns), plus bonus dwellings to relax in during the off-season. Considering the Washington, DC, native is one of the world’s highest-paid athletes, it’s no surprise that his chosen properties are impressive. Read on to take a look at all of the places that the iconic athlete has called home.
Seattle starter home
Way back in 2007, a 19-year-old Durant began his professional career with the Seattle SuperSonics. He bought a roughly 6,000-square-foot home on Mercer Island for $2.85 million. Per the Mercer Island Reporter, it was just a few months later when the Sonics were sold and moved to Oklahoma City, becoming the Thunder. However, KD didn’t return the five-bedroom dwelling to the market until 2011, when he listed it for just under $3 million. It was another two years until the contemporary home finally sold for a discounted $2.4 million. According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the abode had five-and-a-half baths, a wet bar, a wine cellar, a home theater, and French doors spilling out to the backyard.
Oklahoma City compound
According to Realtor.com, Durant bought a $1.8 million home in a privately gated Oklahoma City neighborhood in 2011. The property encompassed a roughly 3,600-square-foot main home, a guesthouse spanning about 2,000 square feet, and a spacious pool deck in between with a swimming pool and spa sporting blue and white tiles. In total, the estate offered five bedrooms and four baths. The double-height living room featured a wood-burning fireplace and vaulted ceilings that emphasized the structure’s steeply pitched roof. The main home also hosted a sizable eat-in kitchen, which featured a black-and-white checkered floor and stainless steel counters. The guesthouse was complete with a slightly more modest (but still well-equipped) kitchen, plus a home theater.
The 14-time NBA All-Star first listed the property in 2013 for $1.95 million. Later that year, he sold off a portion of the property for $260,000, records show. The remaining plot went on and off the market a couple of times until finally selling in 2016 for $925,000.
Miami penthouse
In 2011, the basketball legend also put down roots in Miami with the roughly $1.8 million purchase of an ocean-view penthouse in the sunny city. The 3,500-square-foot condo had three bedrooms, five bathrooms, an open floor plan encased behind floor-to-ceiling glass, and a wraparound terrace offering panoramic views of the water and nearby man-made islands. “Durant installed speakers throughout the residence and designed the movie theater himself,” realtor Marko Gojanovic told Mansion Global. The theater in question features shag carpeting, soundproof walls, and leather recliners.
In 2015, the recent NBA MVP sold the residence for $3.15 million. The sky-high unit was most recently listed in May to rent for $15,000 a month.
Oklahoma City town houses
Around the time that he first listed his Oklahoma City estate in 2013, KD bought a pair of neighboring townhouses in the city’s Deep Deuce neighborhood. The athlete paid about $1.8 million for the two three-story brownstones, then combined them into a single dwelling, according to Realtor.com.
In total, the renovated abode spanned 7,257 square feet, with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. One town house was designed as private living quarters, and the second with entertaining in mind. A billiard room, theater, and a spacious sauna were among the property’s luxe offerings.
In 2016, he retired his Thunder jersey and signed to the San Francisco Golden State Warriors. Before leaving town, Durant listed his remodeled town houses for $1.5 million—a steep discount, considering he invested a reported $3 million in renovations. According to the listing, the neighboring structures ultimately sold for $1.1 million in 2017.
Oakland contemporary home
While helping the Warriors win championships in both 2017 and 2018, Durant rented a 9,000-square-foot mansion in Oakland, California, according to Realtor.com. Per listing history, it appears that the basketball star paid $13,000 a month for the hilltop home, which boasted sprawling views of the Bay Area through its floor-to-ceiling windows. The lavish residence had seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a theater, and a curving staircase.
Durant reportedly moved on from the contemporary-style adobe in 2019, when he signed with the Brooklyn Nets. In 2020, the estate listed for just under $6 million.
Malibu mansion
In 2018, Durant rectified the fact that he did not have a Malibu beach house with the purchase of a $12.05 million waterfront property in the wealthy California enclave, per Mansion Global. The roughly 5,100-square-foot contemporary-style home had four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a media room, a gym, and a library. Throughout, ocean-view decks and walls of glass took full advantage of the scenic locale. The baller sold the dreamy dwelling in 2019 for $12.15 million.
Manhattan apartment
After signing on to the Nets, Durant was naturally in need of an NYC pad. Few details about this residence are publicly known, but Forbes reported in 2022 that the four-time Olympic gold medalist was living in a “sleek and infinitely long apartment” overlooking the High Line in Manhattan. Durant reportedly equipped the home with a blue velvet couch, gym equipment, and an office filled with his extensive trophy selection (though his two championship rings apparently live in the bedroom). It’s unclear if this home was a rental or if he purchased it.
KD was traded to his current team, the Phoenix Suns, in 2023. He’s kept a low profile when it comes to his Arizona home, but presumably wherever he stays in the Grand Canyon State is similarly impressive to the rest of his portfolio.
Hidden Hills estate
In 2021, The Real Deal reported that Durant paid a whopping $15.6 million for a spec mansion in LA’s Hidden Hills neighborhood in an off-market deal. Not a lot is publicly known about the property, but it is reportedly a 10,000-square-foot modern farmhouse on a 1.8-acre plot at the end of a gated cul-de-sac.
The iconic sportsman seemed to give a sneak peek at the home’s pool deck on Instagram in 2022. A neon E$ sign on the white brick wall in the background is a compelling indication that the pictured property belongs to KD, who is also known by the nickname Easy Money Sniper. A well-equipped barbecue area, a fire pit, a balcony, and a blue-tiled swimming pool can be seen in the photo.
