Where Does Serena Williams Live in Florida? Inside Her Jupiter Estate

Where does Serena Williams live? The tennis legend lives in Jupiter, Florida, on a riverfront estate in northern Palm Beach County. She bought it in September 2020 for a reported $8 million from former St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina. Before that move she spent more than 20 years in nearby Palm Beach Gardens, first in a house she shared with her sister Venus and then in one she built herself. Here is what public reporting says about each home, and what property near them costs today.

Key takeaways

• Serena's home is a riverfront estate in Jupiter with more than four acres of land.
• Reports put the purchase at $8 million in September 2020, bought through an LLC from Yadier Molina.
• The house runs about 10,433 square feet and came with a guesthouse, pool, sports courts and a baseball diamond.
• Jupiter has about 729 active listings with a median list price near $875,000, per our MLS feed as of September 2026.

Where does Serena Williams live in Florida?

Serena's home is in Jupiter, the northernmost town of any size in Palm Beach County. The estate sits on the water, on a big lot with nearly 300 feet of frontage, according to The Real Deal. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses, so we will leave the description there.

Jupiter is a small town by South Florida standards, with about 60,000 residents, yet it has an unusual number of famous neighbors. Michael Jordan built a home at the Bear's Club. Tiger Woods lives on Jupiter Island just to the north. Rory McIlroy and other tour golfers have owned homes here. So a tennis champion with a young family did not stand out much when she arrived.

The move was also short. Palm Beach Gardens, where Serena lived from 1998 until 2020, borders Jupiter to the south. She swapped one golf-course neighborhood for a river lot about ten minutes up the road, and kept the same airport, the same training options and the same circle of friends.

Inside the reported Jupiter estate

The Real Deal and Tennis.com both reported the purchase in the fall of 2020. The price was $8 million. An LLC that reporting tied to Serena was the buyer, and Yadier Molina was the seller. Molina, the longtime Cardinals catcher, had used the property as a Florida base during his playing career.

Per those reports, the house covers about 10,433 square feet. The lot is more than four acres, which is rare that close to the water in Jupiter. Reporting lists a guesthouse, a pool, sports courts and a full baseball diamond, a leftover from Molina's ownership. Whether the diamond is still there today is not reported. For context, the Jupiter median list price sits near $875,000 as of September 2026, so the $8 million she paid was roughly nine times the typical listing. A four-acre lot with that much frontage is simply a different class of property from the typical Jupiter home.

Serena has shown parts of the interior in videos and magazine features since the purchase. Venus Williams's design firm, V Starr, has worked on Serena's homes in the past, and Serena has said so publicly. Those features show an art gallery, a trophy room and a karaoke setup, but the exact rooms they show are not always tied to one property, so we treat them as color rather than fact.

Why Serena Williams chose Jupiter

Reporting gives three plain reasons. First, family. Serena and her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, had their first daughter in 2017 and their second in 2023. A four-acre lot with a guesthouse is a family setup, not a bachelor pad.

Second, she already lived next door. Two decades in Palm Beach Gardens meant her coaches, her doctors and her business contacts were all within a short drive. Moving to Jupiter kept all of that in place.

Third, timing. She bought in September 2020 and then sold her Palm Beach Gardens house at the end of that year, The Real Deal reported. That is the pattern of someone trading up, not someone leaving the area. Since retiring from tennis after the 2022 US Open she has kept Florida as her base while running her venture fund, Serena Ventures.

The Palm Beach Gardens years

Serena's Florida story starts in Palm Beach Gardens. In 1998, Forbes reported, she and Venus paid $525,000 for a lot in BallenIsles, a gated golf community off PGA Boulevard. The sisters then spent two years building a house of nearly 8,500 square feet that looks out over the club's fairways. They listed it in early 2019 at $2.65 million and sold it for $2.3 million later that year.

Serena also built a second Gardens house on her own. Reporting says she bought a 1.25-acre parcel in May 2015 for $2.5 million and put up a five-bedroom Georgian-style home. She sold that one at the end of 2020 for about $2.775 million, a few months after the Jupiter purchase closed. So by early 2021 she had cleared out of Palm Beach Gardens entirely.

Where else does Serena Williams live?

Florida is home base, but it is not her only property. Robb Report has described her holdings as a portfolio worth about $20 million, and that figure includes a house in Beverly Hills, California. She bought it during her playing years and has used it for West Coast business and for her husband's work in tech. Reports in 2021 said she put it up for sale, though we could not confirm the final outcome.

She and Ohanian have also spent stretches of time in the Bay Area, where his company is based. Even so, every report since 2020 has treated the Jupiter estate as the primary residence. Her children are raised there, and her sister Venus lives a short drive north on Jupiter Island.

What homes near Serena Williams cost

Jupiter is one of the pricier towns in the county, but it has a wide spread. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows about 729 active listings in Jupiter with a median list price near $875,000. Homes average about 116 days on the market. Riverfront estates with acreage, like Serena's, sit far above that median and rarely come up.

Next door, Palm Beach Gardens has about 762 active listings with a median near $898,000. BallenIsles and the other gated golf communities there run higher than the city median. For buyers who want water rather than golf, our waterfront homes hub covers the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal and the ocean across Palm Beach County.

One more point for owners. Both Jupiter and the Gardens carry median list prices well above the county as a whole, and the celebrity ownership record in this corridor is deep. That keeps demand for larger lots steady even when the wider market slows. Sellers with river or Intracoastal frontage in particular tend to draw out-of-state buyers who are shopping the whole corridor from Jupiter Island down to North Palm Beach.
