Derek Jeter’s Tampa Bay Neighbors Reveal How His $22.5 Million Home Troubled Them Well Before Tom Brady Rented It

Baseball legend Derek Jeter reached the status of sporting royalty during his playing days. Furthermore, he became the co-owner of an MLB franchise, post-retirement. He lived in his grand Tampa Bay mansion at the time. Later, Jeter even once rented out the house to NFL legend Tom Brady. 

Derek Jeter is one of the most successful and richest baseball players ever. He played as the New York Yankees shortstop for his entire MLB career. Jeter is notably a 14-time All-Star member and five-time World Series champion. He is also an MLB Hall Of Fame inductee. 

Likewise, Tom Brady is one of the most successful and richest players in the NFL. He is an icon of the sport whose popularity transcends the sporting community. Brady rose to prominence playing 20 years for the New England Patriots from 2000. He is a seven-time Super Bowl champion. 

Derek Jeter and Tom Brady: The palace they lived in 

Derek Jeter amassed a fortune playing for the elite MLB franchise, New York Yankees. There are very few sports franchises that can compete with the Yankees on financial grounds. So Jeter shared all the benefits of remaining a Yankees loyalist. He built a grand mansion in Tampa Bay back in 2011. 

The $22.5 dollars mansion on Davis Islands got referred to as ‘St. Jetersburg.’ On the other hand, NFL royalty Tom Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. So he had to move down to Florida along with his family. Therefore, Jeter rented out his mansion to Brady. 

The 30,000-square-foot waterfront mansion boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a six-car garage, and two boat lifts. However, Jeter sold the mansion to a new set of owners last spring. The mansion is now set to be demolished due to safety measures.

One of the neighbors named Becky Franks reportedly said, “It’s such a shame to have to tear down such a gorgeous, prestigious, you know, wonderful, famous place.” Another neighbor named Bryan Truex recalled how a crowd of Jeter and Brady fans respectively gathered to see their idols. Truex told reporters, “They used to park in my driveway to come down to his house.” 

A new residence in place with significant changes

The new residence to be built in place will be four-six feet higher than Jeter’s mansion. The decision got made in regard to flood elevation requirements. Nonetheless, some of the neighbors might breathe a sigh of relief, though. As there will be no more random guest visitors to catch glimpses of the celebrities now.
