Inside Lamar Jackson's Owings Mills Home
The Ravens quarterback bought a brick house in Owings Mills as a rookie in 2018, moved his mother in, and stayed through 2 MVP awards and a $260M deal.
Lamar Jackson has won 2 NFL MVP awards, signed one of the richest contracts in football, and kept the same address through all of it. The Ravens quarterback lives in a brick house in Owings Mills, Maryland, the suburb northwest of Baltimore where his own team clocks in for work. He bought it as a rookie in 2018 and has never moved.
A rookie's first purchase
The Ravens took Jackson with the final pick of the 2018 draft's first round. He arrived carrying a Heisman Trophy, won at Louisville in 2016 when he was 19 years and 337 days old, the youngest winner in the award's history at the time. He grew up in Pompano Beach, Florida, where his mother, Felicia Jones, raised him and ran his football training herself.
That July, before he had taken a regular-season snap, the family closed on the Owings Mills house. Property records tie the purchase to a Florida company connected to Jones, and the family paid in cash. Jackson moved in with his mother and his younger brother, Jamar, and the house has been the family's home base ever since.

The house came to him fresh off a flip. An investor had renovated it and put it back on the market not long before the sale, so Jackson got a rebuilt interior without ever touching a hammer.
Before the quarterbacks, the mills
Owings Mills earned its name the old-fashioned way. Samuel Owings II put up the first of his family's mills in the 1770s, and the Owings family ran them for about 80 years, from roughly 1770 to 1850. Maryland Historical Trust records count at least 6 fulling, woolen, and grist mills in the area, grinding grain and finishing wool for the farms around them. That mill village grew into the Baltimore County suburb where an NFL franchise now holds practice.
The Ravens' company town
The team's headquarters and practice complex, the Under Armour Performance Center, sits in Owings Mills, and the Ravens have trained in Baltimore County for close to 30 years. In July 2026, the club and the county agreed to terms that could keep the complex there for decades more. Jackson's commute never has to leave the suburb, and you can watch his team work there each summer, when training camp opens to fans.
He is not the first Raven to settle in this corner of the county either. Joe Flacco, the quarterback whose 2018 injury opened the door for Jackson, owned a house one town over in Reisterstown, bought from former Ravens center Matt Birk. When Flacco was traded to Denver in 2019, it sold in 4 days.
The $260M deal that changed nothing
Jackson has never hired an agent. His mother has managed his career since before the draft, a plan the 2 of them made while he was still in college. In April 2023 he negotiated his own extension with the Ravens: 5 years and $260M, with $185M guaranteed, a deal that made him the highest-paid player in the league at the time. Instead of a shoe deal, he sells his own label, Era 8 Apparel.
The money never moved him. Through the unanimous MVP season of 2019, a 2nd MVP in 2023 that fell 1 vote shy of unanimous, and the biggest quarterback contract of its day, the Owings Mills house stayed exactly what it was on day 1: the place he shares with his mother and brother.
