Where Does Dan Le Batard Live in Florida? His Miami Shores Home

Where does Dan Le Batard live? In Miami, the city where he grew up, wrote for the Miami Herald and now runs Meadowlark Media. The one home tied to him in public reporting is a house in Miami Shores that his wife, Valerie Le Batard, owns. It made the news in March 2026 when police arrested a squatter inside. No outlet has reported the house he sleeps in day to day. Here is what the record shows.

Key takeaways

• Miami Shores, Miami-Dade County: a house owned by Valerie Le Batard, per Local 10 and the Miami Herald.
• Price not reported: police records cited by Local 10 say the home last sold in 2020, but no outlet published a figure.
• Built over several years: the couple used it as an Airbnb and a workspace while the work went on, per AOL and Yahoo Sports.
• City of Miami median list price is about $639,000 across roughly 11,300 listings, per our MLS feed as of September 2026.

Where does Dan Le Batard live in Florida?

The short answer is Miami. Le Batard was born in New Jersey in 1968 to Cuban exile parents, but the family moved to Miami when he was young. He went to high school in the city, then the University of Florida, and came back to write sports columns for the Miami Herald for more than two decades. His radio and TV shows have broadcast from South Beach since 2014, when ESPN moved them into the Clevelander hotel.

The only property reporting ties to him is in Miami Shores. That is a small village on Biscayne Bay, just north of the city limits and about ten miles from downtown. It is known for older Mediterranean and mid-century houses, a village golf course and a quiet, residential feel. It sits between the Upper East Side neighborhoods of Miami and the town of North Miami. You can see current inventory on our Miami Shores page.

Pure Equity does not publish private addresses. The March 2026 police reports named the street, and we leave that out. We name the village only.

Inside the reported Miami Shores home

Most of what is public comes from one strange week. On March 18, 2026, Miami Shores police went to a house whose listed owner is Valerie Le Batard, per Local 10. Inside they found a makeshift bed, food in the refrigerator and personal items. They arrested a 37-year-old Broward County man, a Colombian national, and charged him with squatting. The Miami Herald and Yahoo Sports carried the same account.

Le Batard talked about it on his show the next day. He said staff at the house had noticed things moved around and could not explain it. Then he found a drawer full of doorknobs. He took that as a sign the man planned to change the locks and fully occupy the place. He said the whole thing felt like a violation.

The coverage also filled in how the couple used the house. Per AOL and Yahoo Sports, Le Batard and his wife had been building it for years. While the work went on, they rented it out on Airbnb at times and used it as a workspace at others. Local 10 cited police records showing the home last sold in 2020. No outlet reported the sale price, the size of the house or the lot. So the honest summary is: a Miami Shores house, owned by his wife since around 2020, in the middle of a long build, and not the place he was living in that week.

Why Dan Le Batard stays in Miami

Because his whole career is here. He joined the Miami Herald in 1990 and wrote columns there until 2016. His radio show started on Miami's WQAM in 2004 before ESPN picked it up nationally. Highly Questionable, his ESPN TV show, was built around his father, Gonzalo, and taped in South Florida. In 2014 ESPN moved both shows into a studio at the Clevelander on Ocean Drive, a hotel it announced in a press release at the time.

When he left ESPN in January 2021, he did not leave town. He and former ESPN president John Skipper started Meadowlark Media that year, and the company is based in Miami. The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz still tapes locally. So does much of the rest of the Meadowlark slate. His brother David, the artist known as Lebo, has a studio in Miami too, and painted the murals in the old ESPN set.

He talks about the city constantly on air. Cuban Miami, the Dolphins, the Heat and the Marlins are the show's home turf. For a sports personality, staying in your own market is unusual. Most national hosts end up in Bristol, New York or Los Angeles. He built a company so he would not have to.

Where does Dan Le Batard live when not in Miami Shores?

We could not find a report of a second home anywhere. There is no Los Angeles condo, no New York apartment and no mountain house in the record. The show travels for big events and he has done long stretches of remote work, but nothing published points to another property.

What we do not know matters too. Nobody has reported where he and his wife stayed while the Miami Shores house was under construction. It may be another home in the same area, or a rental. Reporters covering the squatter story did not ask, and Le Batard did not say. We are not going to guess.

What homes near Dan Le Batard cost

Miami Shores is a small market with mostly single-family homes, and our MLS rollup for the village itself is thin. The nearest big sample is the City of Miami, which surrounds it on three sides. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows about 11,300 active listings in the city, a median list price near $639,000 and an average of about 131 days on market. That figure blends condos downtown with houses in the Upper East Side, so single-family prices near the bay run well above it.

The closest comparable neighborhoods are just south of the village line. Morningside and Belle Meade are gated pockets of 1920s and 1930s houses along Biscayne Bay, and they trade in the same buyer pool as Miami Shores. Bayfront lots in all three areas are the expensive end. If you are shopping for that kind of house, our waterfront homes hub and the Miami-Dade County page cover the wider market.

For sellers, the squatter story is a useful reminder. A house that sits empty during a long renovation, or that cycles through short-term renters, needs someone checking it. Le Batard had staff on site and still lost days before anyone noticed. If you own a property like that in Miami Shores, the village's own police blotter that month tells you what the risk looks like.
