Where Does Eminem Live? Inside His 2 Michigan Mansions

Marshall Mathers built one of the biggest catalogs in rap and never moved away from Detroit. While his peers bought compounds in Los Angeles, Eminem put his money into 2 houses in the northern suburbs, both a short drive from the 8 Mile corridor he put on film. One is still his home. The other he sold in 2017 for less than half of what he paid.

The Clinton Township estate he never left

Eminem bought his main home in September 2000, a few months after The Marshall Mathers LP made him the biggest act in music. He did not head for either coast. He picked a gated community in Clinton Township, a Macomb County suburb about 20 miles northeast of downtown Detroit, and he has held onto the house ever since. Architectural Digest ran through his address history in 2025 and landed on the same answer: he still lives there.

The house has now been his for more than 25 years, through rehab, a comeback, and a new album as recently as 2024. We keep the full property record, the ownership trail, and the map pin on Eminem's Clinton Township home profile.

Security here comes in layers. The neighborhood has its gate, and the house has its own team on top of that. Clinton Township police described 24-hour security on the property when they wrote up a 2020 break-in.

2 break-ins and an 18-year sentence

The gates got tested. Around 4 a.m. on April 5, 2020, a 27-year-old man threw a brick paver through a rear window and got inside while Eminem slept. The alarm woke him, and he found the intruder standing in his living room. His security team held the man until Clinton Township police arrived.

A detective later testified that the intruder said he had come to kill the rapper. The man took a plea deal and walked with probation in 2021. In August 2024 he got onto the property again, and this time a Macomb County jury convicted him of first-degree home invasion. In June 2025 a judge gave him a minimum of 18 years in prison.

The Rochester Hills mansion he sold at a loss

By 2003, Eminem had an Academy Award for “Lose Yourself” and a second act as a movie star. That year he added a second property: a gated mansion with its own guard house in Rochester Hills, an Oakland County suburb next to Stony Creek Metropark, about a half hour west of his main home.

The house came with a backstory of its own. A tool-industry executive named Rick Bellestri built it in the 1980s, then pleaded guilty to tax fraud and racketeering charges and was sentenced to prison in 1997. The next owner was Charles Conaway, the chairman and CEO who ran Kmart from its Troy headquarters, one suburb over, while the retailer slid toward its January 2002 bankruptcy. A federal jury later found he had misled Kmart's investors about the company's finances, and a court ordered him to pay millions.

Eminem bought the place from Conaway in 2003 and treated it the way other people treat a lake house. The Detroit Free Press reported in 2017 that he rarely stayed there. That August he put it on the market, and by September it had sold for less than half of what he paid 14 years earlier.

The sale closed the book on his 2-house era. The full ownership chain and the map pin live on Eminem's former Rochester Hills mansion profile.

One rapper, one region

Eminem's whole address history fits inside Metro Detroit, which makes him rare company among artists at his level. Not every Detroit-made musician stayed put, though. Kid Rock moved his home base to Tennessee, and you can step inside his Nashville house on Velvet Ropes.
