Myles Garrett, the standout edge rusher and two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, is fully committing to his new life on the West Coast following a high-profile trade to the Los Angeles Rams.
The move, which has already sparked excitement around the team’s defensive prospects, goes beyond the football field. Garrett is making significant personal changes, including selling his longtime Cleveland-area residence and investing in a luxurious new property in Southern California.
The trade itself marked a major shift for both franchises. The Rams parted with promising young talent Jared Verse, a former first-round pick who played a pivotal role in their recent postseason run, to acquire Garrett from the Cleveland Browns.
For Garrett, it meant leaving behind a city where he had built his professional career since being selected first overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. Now settled into his new environment, the 30-year-old defender has taken visible steps to establish roots in Los Angeles.
In a clear sign of moving on, Garrett recently listed his spacious home in the Hidden Lakes of Sharon neighborhood of Wadsworth, Ohio, for $2.1 million.
He originally purchased the property for $1.3 million back in late 2018. The 4,300-square-foot house sits on two acres of land and offers a high degree of privacy thanks to its gated entry. Over the years, Garrett enhanced the property with thoughtful additions, such as a detached four-car garage and a custom walk-in closet featuring a glass display area for his fashion collection.
The Ohio home gained attention during Garrett’s time there for its creative, elaborate displays. One notable setup drew inspiration from the “Terminator” film series, complete with a dramatic “quarterback graveyard” that became a talking point among fans and media alike. Listing the property now feels like a symbolic closing of that chapter as he turns his focus westward.
On the other side of the country, Garrett has made an impressive real estate commitment in the upscale Hidden Hills community. Reports indicate he purchased a mansion for approximately $23 million, with construction currently underway on a expansive residence boasting nearly 15,000 square feet of living space.
The property includes amenities like a large pool and a guest house, providing plenty of room for comfort and hosting. Its location places him about 30 minutes from SoFi Stadium, the Rams’ home field, making it convenient for his new professional demands.
Interestingly, the move also positions Garrett near his new teammate, veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who resides in the same neighborhood. Beyond football, the relocation brings him closer to his girlfriend, professional snowboarder Chloe Kim, adding a personal dimension to the transition.
As training camp approaches, all eyes will be on Garrett and how he integrates into the Rams’ defense. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see the pass-rushing standout in pads with his new team, especially after he posted an NFL-record 23 sacks and 33 tackles for loss in the previous season.
His presence is expected to elevate an already competitive unit, with the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers looming as an early highlight.
Garrett’s decisions reflect more than just a change of address—they signal a deliberate investment in his future with the Rams, both on and off the field. As he unpacks in Los Angeles and prepares for the upcoming campaign, the star defender appears poised for an exciting new phase in his storied career.
