Jon Bon Jovi's House

Jon Bon Jovi, legendary rocker and rising philanthropist, has lived with his wife and four children in their Middletown New Jersey mansion since 1999. The rock start bought the land in 1995 and built a custom home for his family. The home is on 16 acres of riverside property in the upscale suburb 30 miles south of New York City. The mansion is worth $2.6 Million in late 2014, and was valued at $1.7 Million when it was completed in 1998.

The house, within sight of the Atlantic Ocean, was damaged during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and Bon Jovi left a European tour to return home to help his family and community.

The Bon Jovi family has successfully managed to keep most of their personal information private, but in 2012, they invited CBS reporters Lara Logan and Charlie Rose for a tour of the house, showing off personal touches including a large hidden movie screen that rises from underneath the living room floor, a special area for his many awards and a top of the line kitchen.

Bon Jovi’s estate includes several outer houses, including a state of the art recording studio that has been used for every record since “Crush” in 1999. He also has a private pub named the “Shoe Inn” on the property, where he enjoys hosting friends and family for pool and drinks.

The home was broken into as part of a string of robberies in the neighborhood in 2011. The thief reportedly stole nearly $500,000 in property, including $100,000 in jewelry. The alleged thief was caught later in another home and prosecuted for that crime.

Bon Jovi listed the house for sale in 2020 for $20 Million.

The Bon Jovis also own a chic penthouse in the SoHo area of New York, which has been on and off the market since 2012. The asking price has dropped from $45 Million to under $38 Million, a reflection of the changing housing market.
