A Look At Samuel L. Jackson’s Homes Over the Years

Jackson and his wife of 44 years, LaTanya, traveled from coast to coast before finding their forever home.

After spending decades in Hollywood, legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson has made a name for himself on the big screen and, surprisingly, in the real estate market as well.

The architectural journey of Jackson and his wife, LaTanya, first began in the early 1980s. As you can imagine, the “Pulp Fiction” actor has only made great strides and even bigger purchases since his career began.

Thanks to Architectural Digest, we take a look at all of the homes the Jacksons once owned. From California to New York and back to California, you’ll be surprised at which properties caught their eye and of which house they made into their forever home.

Back in 1981, Jackson and his wife paid $35,000 for a brownstone in Harlem, according to a deed filed with the city.

In 1997, the couple sold the home for $125,000. “We came back to New York after a year and a half in LA, and we went to our brownstone in Harlem. I had to chop the ice off the steps. I still love New York, I just didn’t love being a brownstone owner in Manhattan anymore,” Jackson told the New York Times in 2002.

The Los Angeles house was meant to be the Jacksons’ “forever home.” The story goes that, one day while driving, LaTanya saw the house. “I stopped in the middle of the street and said, ‘That’s it, that’s the house,’” she told Architectural Digest.

The suburban house is just what you’d expect from Jackson. It’s comfortable, southern, and has a lot of personality.

In 2000, Jackson told Architectural Digest “We wanted our daughter to live in a homey environment…my wife and I are essentially just very southern people raised in middle-class households.”

“Sam and LaTanya frequently host benefit dinners and needed a space that was personal but could fit a large group,” designer Cecil N. Hayes told Architectural Digest.

In Jackson’s office, he kept several keepsakes including a boxing glove autographed and owned by Muhammad Ali.

If you’re wondering about Jackson’s taste in furniture, remember this house was Jackson’s home around 2000…so he was right on trend!

Right before the couple sold the Encino house for $2 million in 2002, according to the Los Angeles Times, they moved on to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills for $8.35 million. Not much is known about the property except it has nine bedrooms and 10 bathrooms with over 11,000 square feet of space, according to Architectural Digest.

In 2005, the couple bought a $4.8 million New York City condo.

The condo comes to an impressive 3,000 square feet. It also has four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms.

Although the Jacksons are a southern family at heart, they love New York City and spend quite a lot of time up north.

The couple listed the condo in 2018 for $13 million, but they eventually took it off the market. In 2023, it was reported the Jacksons were renting the space out for $15,000 a month, according to Architectural Digest.

Circling back to the Jacksons’ current home: The Beverly Hills estate is made up of three separate structures: The main house, a detached garage, and a pool/guest house. There’s also a pool, spa, tennis court and rose garden, as well as a 2,300-square-foot synthetic putting green. This is where the couple resides today.
