Eastvale: Rapper Kendrick Lamar Purchases Home in Eastvale

BY TIANA GOEGEBUER

Eastvale – Rapper Kendrick Lamar recently purchased a modest home in the city of Eastvale.

News of Lamar’s purchase really began circulating in late May. The online buzz stated that Lamar had gone against the typical rapper stereotype and settled down not in Los Angeles or Beverly Hills, but a former dairy community that had only just become a city four years prior. The fast-growing city of Eastvale is home to about 59,000 residents. Crime rates are low, and the houses are cheaper than neighboring coastal areas in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

The home Lamar purchased is said to have been built in 2006. The two-story residence is on an un-gated street, and is a short walk from the local shopping center. The home is 3,529 square feet, and includes three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a pool, and is said to have been purchased for $523,500. In comparison to what many successful rappers spend, Lamar paid a very modest price for his new home in Eastvale. Rapper Drake reportedly paid $9 million for his Southern California mansion; Tyga spent $6.5 million for his residence; and Dr. Dre recently dished out a whopping $40 million on an estate in Brentwood.

A few Eastvale residents have recently tweeted that they have spotted the star cruising around town in a sports car and visiting the city’s Picnic in the Park summer carnival. However, Lamar says that he plans on remaining in his current home in L.A.

Rivera’s philosophy is to “treat my clients the way I want to be treated.” In fact, Rivera said that he became a Realtor because he did not like the way his Realtor treated him when he was buying his home. Rivera shows respect for his clients at all times. He listens to what they say, so that he can better serve them.

Rivera also does not push his Buyers into a sale. Rivera said, “I always tell Buyers: ‘You will know right away when we walk into the house that’s meant for you.’ Whether it takes a week or months, my Buyers will always be satisfied with their purchase and never pressured into it.”

The Buyer’s agent is paid by the Seller, not the Buyer.

Rivera absolutely loves what he does. He loves selling homes to Buyers because he helps fulfill their dreams of home ownership.
