Where Do Olympians Live? Homes of Our Country’s Most Gifted Athletes
During the Olympics, athletes are set up in some pretty serious digs, from a revamped naval ship (yep), to an art museum and even a beach-front sports club.
But where are Olympians living in the off season? Sure, many go home to mom and dad, or a regular-old two bedroom. But some athletes are living that luxe life even during the off season. Below are a few cherry homes of our country’s most gifted athletes.
A Butler for Butler?
When first-time Olympian Jerry Butler isn’t winning on the basketball court, he’s chillin’ in his six-bedroom Chicago home, snapped up for $4.3 million in 2015. With a movie theater and a home gym (duh), this spot screams of that high life.
Beach-front Basketball
Basketball all-star Diana Taurasi was voted one of the WNBA’s Top 15 Players of All Time in 2011, and the 34-year-old certainly lives like it. Her home in Manhattan Beach, Calif., features 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and doors that open right onto the beach. Well done, Taurasi! Well done…
Silver Medal Spot
Speed demon Mebrahtom “Meb” Keflezighi bought his stylish San Diego home for $1,377,500 in 2013. The Eritrean-born American long distance runner snagged a silver medal in the 2004 Olympics and placed fourth in the 2012 Summer Olympics. His family-friendly four-bedroom home has outdoor seating areas, epic views, and plenty of room for entertaining.
