Correction note: This post was fully refreshed on 27 October 2026. The earlier version described the New Orleans house as his home today and gave 10,800 square feet as the size of the house. Both points were wrong: the 10,800-square-foot figure is the lot size, not the living area, and later reporting describes the Audubon house as a former home. Unverified interior details and other unverified claims have been removed. Only the verified facts about the Drew Brees house below are retained.
Drew Brees is a former NFL quarterback who played 20 seasons. He began with the San Diego Chargers, signed with the New Orleans Saints in 2006, and announced his retirement as a player on March 14, 2021. He led the Saints to their first Super Bowl championship in 2010 and was named the game’s MVP. This post covers only property history that can be verified from reporting and listing records. It does not claim a current primary residence for Brees in 2026, and it gives no net-worth figure.
The image above is illustrative only. It shows a New Orleans-style home and is not presented as a photograph of Brees’s actual house.
Former New Orleans home: 576 Audubon St, Uptown New Orleans
Brees bought the house at 576 Audubon St, New Orleans, LA 70118, in 2006, after signing with the Saints. Reports give the purchase price as about $1.6 million; the San Diego Union-Tribune gives $1.575 million for the 2006 purchase. Zillow lists the property as a single-family home built in 1940, with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 6,024 square feet of living area, and a 10,800-square-foot lot.
Contemporary reporting described iron-lace doors opening into a spacious foyer with a crystal chandelier, hardwood floors throughout, and a large gourmet kitchen with granite countertops. Upstairs, the master bedroom was reported to have a fireplace, a jacuzzi tub, and his-and-hers walk-in closets. Outside, the property was reported to have a large swimming pool, a courtyard, and gardens. Around his March 2021 retirement, fans left notes and signs of appreciation outside the home, as reported by WDSU News and summarized by Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
Later reporting describes this Audubon house as a former home. This post therefore does not present it as where Brees lives today.
Former San Diego home: Carmel Valley
Brees paid $2.2 million in 2003 for his former home near Carmel Valley, San Diego, following his second NFL season. He sold it for $2.4 million in 2012. The Los Angeles Times describes the home as built in 2002, with 6,000 square feet, five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, two stories, and roughly two-thirds of an acre.
Verified amenities reported by the Los Angeles Times include a wet bar, a billiards room, and a detached casita with a steam room and sauna. The grounds had a six-hole putting green and a resort-style pool and spa with a slide. Inside, there were tile floors in the formal dining room, custom hardwood in the center-island kitchen, fireplaces anchoring the living and family rooms, and an upstairs master suite with its own fireplace, an office, and a spa tub. The front of the home had a deck, a fountain, and a flagstone walkway.
The same former home was listed in March 2019 for $2.599 million and was pending sale less than a month later. That 2019 listing is later-owner history, not a Brees sale price.
Kauai, Hawaii: Princeville townhomes
In Princeville, on Kauai’s north shore, Brees purchased a townhome in the Ka’iulani development in 2007 for $2.26 million. It was listed in October 2020 for $2.05 million. Realtor.com describes two living areas, a dining area, a kitchen with a center island, a lanai and patio looking out to the water, 11-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and air conditioning, with resident access to three heated pools, a spa, two barbecue areas, and a covered pavilion. The listing summary also gives 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with views of Hanalei Bay.
A second Kauai condo was purchased in 2006 for $1.76 million and listed in 2015 for $1.75 million. Realtor.com describes it as a 1,752-square-foot home with panoramic views, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen.
Four Seasons New Orleans condo
In 2020, TMZ Sports reported that Brees had bought a condo at the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences New Orleans, on Canal Street, one of 92 condominiums there. Reported amenities included private access to a bar and lounge and a golf simulator room. Brees was quoted as saying: “When I heard The Four Seasons was coming to New Orleans, I jumped at the opportunity to purchase a condominium… My family and I will always love New Orleans and be proud to call the Four Seasons home.” The price was reported variably in secondary summaries, so no firm price is stated here.
