Tom Brady's Transition To Tampa Bay: A Look At His New Mansion

It's official: Tom Brady is moving from his longtime home with the New England Patriots to start the next phase of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As reported by the Tampa Bay Times, Brady has already chosen his new residence in Tampa, and it comes with a fascinating backstory for fans of celebrity real estate. This new abode is none other than the mansion built by former baseball star Derek Jeter in 2011.

The mansion spans an impressive 30,000 square feet and has become a local legend in Tampa, affectionately referred to as "St. Jetersburg" by residents, a nod to the nearby city of St. Petersburg. An article from the New York Times documented the property back when it was newly constructed, highlighting its remarkable features. While Jeter, known for his desire for privacy, was not keen on sharing specifics about his home, some details have emerged. The mansion boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a swimming pool, two boat lifts, and two three-car garages. Privacy was of utmost importance to Jeter, leading to the installation of a six-foot wall around the property, which stirred local controversy due to regulations on residential walls exceeding four feet.

Brady is reportedly renting this lavish mansion from Jeter, although the exact monthly rental amount remains undisclosed. However, estimates from a Coldwell Banker agent suggest it could be around $75,000 per month. Tax records indicate the mansion's estimated value exceeds $14 million, making it one of the largest homes in Tampa. Located in the affluent and exclusive neighborhood of Davis Islands, this area is home to other notable athletes, including former Buccaneer Brad Culpepper and members of the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team.

For those who are not professional athletes but are still intrigued, there's a chance to glimpse Tom Brady's new digs—previously owned by Derek Jeter—through a video produced by Ark Video Productions.
