Atlanta’s R&B legend Usher led 2024′s Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday, setting the internet ablaze with his performances of “Caught Up,” “My Boo” and much more. You probably know Usher Raymond IV grew up in the area, but have you seen the most recent homes he lived in?
Usher first called metro Atlanta home at the age of 12, when his family moved to the Peach State from Chattanooga, Tennessee. In 1998, the singer bought his first mansion — an Alpharetta property formerly owned by legendary music executive L.A. Reid .

The Alpharetta mansion was massive, featuring more than 10,000 square feet in living space. It had seven bedrooms, 8½ bathrooms, a private dance studio, a separate yoga studio and even a climate-controlled treehouse .
The singer originally placed the property for sale in 2008 with a $1.8 million price tag. He temporarily took it off the market before trying his luck again at a much higher $2.48 million in 2018. Usher never managed to part ways with the property at that asking price, but a buyer purchased the mansion for $1.5 million in July of the same year.
