Where Chiefs and 49ers Stars Call Home, From the Bay Area to Kansas City, these NFL players scored themselves some impressive properties

Whether it’s the Chiefs or the 49ers, you might not feel too bad for whoever loses the Super Bowl when you see the houses they live in.

In a championship rematch from four years ago, Kansas City and San Francisco are meeting again on football’s biggest day, this time at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. Though the two teams may be matched in their abilities, the real estate markets in their cities are starkly different. As of December, the median home sale price in Kansas City was a modest $235,400, while San Francisco’s was $1.19 million, according to data from Redfin.

Here’s a look at the real estate holdings of some of the top players on the Chiefs and the 49ers. In the Kansas City area, many players have turned to affluent suburbs on both sides of the Missouri-Kansas border to find their dream homes. Between scoring game-deciding touchdowns and his new romance with Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce has become a household name this season. And with that extra attention, he’s upgraded his home, too.

Since 2019, the two-time Super Bowl champion tight end has lived in a 10,000-square-foot home in Kansas City’s Briarcliff West, for which he paid $995,000, according to listing records. Now with more eyes—and paparazzi—watching him, Kelce has found a new home in a lower-key and more secure neighborhood.

Public property records indicate that Kelce purchased a nearly 17,000-square-foot mansion just across the state border in Leawood, Kansas, in late 2023. The six-bedroom home, which was pending sale in October with an almost $6 million price tag, sits on 3.3 acres and features a large pool area, a lighted tennis/pickleball court and a putting green, according to the listing. Both the neighborhood and the residence itself have gated entry.

As for the star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, live in an estate they built on 8 acres of land in Belton, Missouri, that they purchased in 2020, according to the New York Post. Aerial photos of the property show that in addition to a mansion, the couple installed a pool, a pond, a golf hole and a sports field with “Mahomes” written in the end zone.

Impressive real estate isn’t just for Kansas City’s offensive players—defensive tackle Chris Jones lives in a 9,163-square-foot home in Overland Park, Kansas. Jones bought the six-bedroom home in September 2020 for $1.85 million, according to records, and some of its features include a large covered deck with a fireplace, a movie theater with a bar and a patio with a fire pit.
