High-profile figures Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are considering high-end property purchases in Cleveland, Ohio. Here's a look at potential luxury real estate options they might consider.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce House Hunt in Upscale Cleveland Suburbs
Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce have been spotted house hunting in the northeast Ohio area, particularly in suburbs on Cleveland's east side. The couple has shown interest in family-friendly and picturesque locations such as Chagrin Falls and Kelce's hometown, Cleveland Heights.
Their search for a new home has led them to explore upscale residential areas that offer privacy, community feel, and proximity to Cleveland. One such area is Chagrin Falls, described as charming with waterfalls, colorful shops, and a community vibe similar to "Gilmore Girls"’ Stars Hollow. The couple was spotted dining together in a suburb of Cleveland in early July.
While the area offers greenery and charm, options for fully secluded or gated estates are limited, which is noteworthy given Swift’s preference for privacy seen in her other properties, like her Rhode Island waterfront estate.
The couple's interest in the area aligns with Kelce’s roots, as he was born and raised in Cleveland Heights. They have visited at least two opulent homes in tony eastside suburbs of Cleveland during their trip.
Other potential locations for the couple include the affluent communities of Moreland Hills, Hunting Valley, and Bratenahl. In Moreland Hills, a serene home currently for sale boasts five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and over 16,000 square feet of livable space, complete with high ceilings, a basketball court, a sauna, an expansive pool with a spa combination, and a private waterfall.
Hunting Valley, with a population of around 800, offers a serene, rural residential neighborhood with stretched roadways and traditional architecture. The property in Hunting Valley spans over 20,000 square feet and boasts six bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a sauna, a sunroom, and an elevator.
Bratenahl, a secluded village with one square mile of land area, located on the southern shore of Lake Erie, is home to the Shoreby Club, a luxury yacht club equipped with an Olympic-sized swimming pool and private boat basin. Lakefront properties in Bratenahl, situated in a gated community, are coveted by Cleveland's millionaires.
Speculation has surrounded the couple's alleged house hunting in the Cleveland area. JoJo's Bar, an Italian-American steakhouse located off N. Main St., recently hosted Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for lunch. The area where JoJo's Bar is located is comparable to the setting of Stars Hollow from the TV series "Gilmore Girls".
Residential properties, some dating back to the late 1800s, are just steps away from this suburban hotspot. Homes in Gates Mills, another potential location, are valued at millions of dollars, with many custom builds featuring private pools, second kitchens, entertainment centers, backyard barns, and even some elevators.
The highly desirable kid-friendly suburban community offers land from one acre to upwards of 43 acres. In 2024, Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin listed his 18,000-square-foot Gates Mills mansion near the Chagrin River for $9.5 million.
In 2021, Tristan Thompson, former Cleveland Cavalier, listed his five-bedroom, seven-bathroom Bratenahl pad for $3.25 million. The village of Hunting Valley, with its stretched roadways and traditional architecture, is another potential location for the couple.
