NFL Star Myles Garrett Is Done With Cleveland and His $2.1 Million Home Proves It

The house Myles Garrett built his entire NFL career inside is officially on the market.

On July 23, 2026, his Wadsworth, Ohio home quietly hit the listings. Asking price: $2.1 million. His new address in Hidden Hills, LA: $23 million. That gap tells you everything about how fast one trade can rewrite a man’s life.

This is not just a real estate move. It is nine years in Cleveland closing on a Zillow page.

The House He Actually Built Out

Garrett bought this Wadsworth property in November 2018 for $1.3 million, one year after the Browns drafted him No. 1 overall. What he did to it after is worth knowing.

Set behind gates in the Hidden Lakes of Sharon neighbourhood, the white brick and stone-accented home runs about 4,300 sq ft across three levels. Five bedrooms, six bathrooms, two acres of land. During his time there, he added a detached four-car garage with a finished upper level and a custom walk-in closet with a glass display case built specifically to show off his fashion collection.

Inside, there is a double-height foyer with a curving staircase, a fireside living room with sliding glass doors opening to a covered deck with a built-in grill, a tiered home theater, a gym with rubber flooring, and a recreation room with a curving bar.

The primary suite upstairs has a cathedral ceiling, private balcony, and an oversized walk-in shower.

He did not just live there. He made it his.

One Trade, Two Homes, Ten Days Apart

Here is the timeline nobody is laying out clearly.

June 1, 2026: The Browns trade Garrett to the LA Rams for Jared Verse and a 2027 first-round pick. The man who just set the NFL single-season sack record with 23 sacks is gone. Days later, he signs a restructured 5-year, $208.2 million deal with the Rams, earning at least $37 million in 2026 alone.

July 13, 2026: Garrett closes on a $23 million mansion in Hidden Hills, LA. Records show $23,000,260. The deal was entirely off-market, never listed on the MLS.

July 23, 2026: The Ohio home goes live. Listed by Natalie Antonelli and Rebecca Donatelli of The Elli Group at Elite Sotheby’s International Realty at $2.1 million.

Ten days between closing on a $23 million LA estate and listing the home he spent nine years building out. That is how final this move is.

Why Hidden Hills and Why It Makes Complete Sense

Hidden Hills is not a random pick. It is a gated equestrian community where the median listing price sits around $9.5 million. His new Rams quarterback, Matthew Stafford, already lives there. Garrett’s girlfriend, pro snowboarder Chloe Kim, is California-based.

The new mansion has nearly 15,000 sq ft of living space, a large pool, a guest house, and sits about 30 minutes from SoFi Stadium, with construction still underway at time of purchase.

The contrast with Wadsworth is not subtle. The Ohio home is genuinely impressive for its market. But it is a different universe from what Hidden Hills represents.

This pattern keeps showing up with elite athletes leaving secondary markets. It rarely goes smoothly on the exit either. Just look at how Tony Parker slashed the price on his $20 million Boerne mansion by nearly half and still had no buyer, a reminder that fame alone does not move a luxury listing.

Why This Matters

Garrett paid $1.3 million in 2018. He is asking $2.1 million in 2026. That is roughly $800,000 in appreciation over eight years in a mid-market Ohio suburb. Not bad at all. But stack it against his $37 million 2026 salary and that Ohio home represents about two weeks of his new contract.

According to Redfin, Hidden Hills homes sold for a median of $5.3 million and averaged 64 days on market through early 2026. The market Garrett just entered and the market he just left are not even playing the same game.

Cleveland fans already felt this the moment the trade dropped. A popular local sports commenter posted a Woody from Toy Story meme on X captioned “So long, partner.” It went viral immediately. The listing just made it official.

This LA pull keeps showing up across 2026. It is the same force behind stories like a Michelin star chef buying a $3.5M condo in his own Miami building rather than branching out, and why rapper Snow Tha Product chose San Fernando Valley while real estate experts point to why that pocket keeps booming.

High-profile names keep gravitating toward the same zip codes, and the market follows.

Wrapping Up

Myles Garrett gave Cleveland everything for nine seasons. He broke the NFL single-season sack record in a Browns jersey, and the city genuinely loved him for it. Now the last physical thing tying him to that chapter is a listing at $2.1 million in Wadsworth.
